Default Google Pixel 5 camera and photos issues

Another example of the asshole causing a thread to appear
out of nowhere...

For some reason I can't see my computer via the LAN, only FTP.
One more weird thing which has been pondered over by genuine experts.


There is a _lot_ we can do on a mobile device using the power of Windows!
o Tutorial to run any Windows command directly on Android over either USB or Wi-Fi
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/JrWLPRYO-TU

It's actually surprisingly shocking how much power Windows has on Android:
o From Windows, how can we open a command line on the Android filesystem?
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/vmWWLzPHKt0

Look at this picture I just uploaded for you of my USB connections:
o https://i.postimg.cc/zf1t61KW/copyfiles02.jpg

Notice there is an iOS device, an iPod, an Android device, & others.
o From Windows, I slide files to/from any of those devices to/from Windows

Here's a screenshot I posted yesterday for another copy thread:
o https://i.postimg.cc/DZB9YDcR/copyfiles01.jpg

Most file copies are done from Windows/Linux - not from the device
o Where Windows/Linux can "see" the entire device visible file system

The key difference is that the "visible" file system is greater for Android
o And, for iOS devices, the "visible" file system is greater using Linux

And, for Apple products, it's usually one-way (by default)
o Although, for me, it's bidirectional read & write for both iOS & iPod

But that's because I know the tricks to make iOS & iPod fully read/write
o Which, interestingly, almost no Apple users ever seem to know.

Sometimes I "push" the files over the Wi-Fi LAN from the device though.
o For that, I set up a third-party SMB server on Android or iOS

o How to mount the entire mobile device file system on Windows
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/comp.mobile.ipad/ix8xgTcexAY/dlY4nLMfAgAJ

With ES File Explorer I created a 'shortcut' for the subdirectory that
contains my photos. I also created/found/whatever an FTP connection to
a subdirectory on my computer. I tap the shortcut, select SELECT ALL,
tap COPY, tap the 'hamburger' at upper left, tap the FTP connection and
tap PASTE. I used to have a shortcut for the FTP subdirectory, but that
doesn't work any more. This is just as easy.


I agree it's trivial to copy files to/from Android to/from Windows/Linux:
o How do you copy photos over USB from Android to Windows?
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/X9sUE-ATG94

As you noted, for some tasks, even ancient FTP works well for file copies.
o FTP can even be used to "mount" the device as a Windows drive letter.

Which means, from Windows, you can make shortcuts to do neat copying stuff.
o Tutorial: How to connect Android to Windows as a drive letter over a Wi-Fi LAN for free simple reliable bidirectional copy
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/9Lu2_dPsu6o

You'd think SMB would work better with Windows, but there are limits:
o What's the best way to forward SMB TCP port 445 to something higher than 1024 on Windows?
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/3QQ8bAZeXNI

o Do you know of a free Android SMBv2 (or SMBv3) client?
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/tl3Q05QGyAw

o How can I modify a Windows shortcut to mount as a specified drive letter?
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/6pwyTqYAhE0

o Does freeware exist on Windows that will mount (as a drive letter) Android connected via USB as MTP?
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/TaIlIMK2Nuw

o KDE Connect is a keeper for sending & receiving files over your Wi-Fi LAN to/from any desktop to/from any Android phone!
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/4x1rf1JefW8

o Does anyone have libmtp freeware currently working on Linux or Windows who can show us how to COPY files to/from unrooted Android over USB using libmtp?
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/8ICXfG2MIrs

o Why would SMB seem to be more reliable than WebDav or FTP or KDEConnect, etc., for Wi-Fi "network connections" between Android & Windows?
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/KAr3I1KY8Gg

I have separate shortcuts for the native Camera app and the OpenCamera
app that doesn't change mode stupidly. I suppose I could combine the
two, but I'd just as soon leave defaults alone when it doesn't actually
hurt.

Then I delete the photos from my phone, possibly moving a few of them to
the SAVE subdirectory.


That seems like a usable system.
o For me, the only PITA is how long Windows takes to enumerate many photos.

I should set up a freeware Wi-Fi LAN based _automatic_ photo copy.
o I just haven't attacked that problem set in earnest yet.

What's a PITA is that Windows takes a while to "enumerate" those files
o Noticeable when there are tens of thousands of photos to be slid over


Linux. I just use my windows computer for stuff that requires windows
-- mainly just tax software and the occasional Garmin update.


Linux works quite well, and not only with Android.
o Linux turns the entire visible file system of iOS devices read/write!

o How to mount the entire mobile device file system on Linux
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/6PQmYWSk34I

In fact, Linux works best with iOS - far better than does even Windows:
o Simultaneously slide Windows Linux iOS Android files back and forth over USB at 7GB per minute speeds using 100% native devices (no proprietary software needed)
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/WohhLOTCYKw

o An elegant solution to managing digital files on ANY iOS, Android, Windows, or Linux device SIMULTANEOUSLY over USB using zero additional software (other than the native OS)
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.comp.freeware/H6T7KqzR_ww

What I should investigate are the "automatic" file-transfer solutions
o Particularly an automatic solution that works over the Wi-Fi LAN.


shudder As soon as I discovered that the Pixel was automatically
sending my photos to Google I turned that off. I transfer photos to my
computer, edit them, and upload the edited versions (smaller, FREE
storage) to Google Photos.


Understood. When I say "automatic", I mean local to my own LAN only.
o Do you have a working freeware automatic sync between Android & Windows?
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/7aOWwoEwsZ0

I _never_ want to put anything on the net that I don't have to!

o Do people of reasonable technical ability store their private data on the Internet (if so, for what gain?)
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/mBIZ-8jGdmk

I started that quest more than a year ago, but haven't fully followed thru:
o Do you have a working freeware automatic sync between Android & Windows?
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.mobile.android/7aOWwoEwsZ0


Ew.

I need to check to see if I can see my computer via LAN if I hook it up
via USB...


I'm confused whose "file manager" you're speaking about in that sentence:
a. Do you try to see Windows' file system from Android? (which you can do)
b. Do you try to see Android's file system from Windows? (it's the default)

Which direction are you _trying_ to see the other device from?
A. From Android?
B. From Windows?

o When you plug in your phone to usb on your computer, does your file system mount on Windows 10?

The entire Android filesys can be "mounted" as a drive letter on Windows.
