I think all these apps have their pros and cons. Each performs well in certain situations. Have you guys tried using FTP transfers? It can be a reliable alternative!

Interesting thought! I haven’t, can you give us a brief tutorial on how that works?

Sure! Use an FTP server app on your phone. Connect PC to your phone’s FTP address using an FTP client like FileZilla. It’s a bit technical but very efficient!
