Bullshit. It's a standard SMB connection where either side can add/edit
files to the share. How in the world do you people not know this?

While the Files app eventually added an SMB client, the real problem to
solve if we ever want Apple devices to work in the real world is to be able
to transfer files bidirectionally between iOS & Android/Linux.

SMB connections are bi-directional. If you knew anything about
networking, you'd know that.

While setting up an SMB server on Linux isn't all that difficult, since
most Linux desktop owners will also have root access, it won't be that
simple to set up an SMB server on Android (since most are not rooted).

Where the server resides is irrelevant since SMB connections are
bi-directional.

Hence, the real problem with Files:SMB is that it doesn't work

Several people have told you it works, yet you continue to push this
lie. You only come off looking like the foolish troll you are. And
badgolferman with you for siding with your lies over reality.
