Android: (Wired) File Transfers from PC
MilesAhead:
I found this page on Addictive Tips how to set default USB transfer type in Marshmallow:
http://www.addictivetips.com/android/how-to-set-the-default-usb-connection-type-in-android-6-0/
It would not let me change it to the USB Ethernet setting. But I was able to set it to MTP rather than PTP. Now when I plug it into my Windows Laptop it shows as a media player rather than just an MP3 player. In any case TeraCopy seems to have no issue with transfers at USB 2.0 speeds.

Thanks. I have noticed recently several Apps of the type you mention. After the initial panic I don't feel pressure to do much in the way of file transfer. Now and then I transfer a folder of MP3s. But I don't feel that much need to have all my eBooks on every device. I have them backed up to cloud and thumb drive. Lately I have been using the Kobo reader and it syncs very well across devices when reading from its online storage. It just gets a chapter at a time so even if I had to use phone data it's not much of a loss. I try to minimize phone data use because I only get 500 MB a month. I use Opera Max to block Apps like the transit trackers that want to just get the info without telling you the WiFi connection dropped etc..
But in the abstract I am interested why some Apps claim they can do fast transfer over Bluetooth when people generally say BT is very slow etc.. :)

Anyone know how enable MTP mode on Galaxy S6? Can't get the phone being recognized by Samsung Kies even with USB debugging on-fsmanchies (February 27, 2017, 03:35 AM)

Normally, (in almost all Android devices), you pull down the Notification Panel then tap on the one that says Connected as ... when you have the USB cable plugged in. That should take you to the option to set it for MTP, PTP, Mass Storage, or Charging.
When I have to type in a lot of stuff on my phone and get fed up with fat finger frustration I plug in my USB mouse using the adapter and click on the onscreen keys. It is way faster since it is pretty much impossible to miss a key with the mouse pointer. :)-MilesAhead (February 28, 2017, 10:13 AM)

I just got an iClever keyboard on prime day. I had an iGo stowaway before that, but I think because it's getting old in the tooth, even though it would connect, there were some idiosyncrasies.

I bought a Periboard about a year ago, that I could use with either my phone or my tablet, so I could actually get work done away from home, when I don't feel like lugging my laptop. Combine it with a text expander app, I'm all set. :)

I use payware Send2Phone (for Android) from AbelsSoft: https://www.abelssoft.de/en/mobile/Android/Send2Phone and https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.abelssoft.sendtophone. Back then the offer for me was €10, but now it is €20. The free version allows for 2MB file size, the pay version allows for 100MB file size transfer. AES-256.
There is another version (from a different company) which I haven't tried, but with exact same name.
