i thought android was supposed to be easier to transfer files from than iphones
apparently I thought wrong
update: after trying various things, I installed a whole ass ftp server on the god damned phone

tech? no! man, see...@halcy rsync is what I always use, but with my laptop as the server.
it is hilarious how hard consumer software goes out of its way to suck.
