Our phones are automatically backed up to our laptops using syncthing. (And our laptops are backed up to a file server using rsync over ssh.)
Nice for you. :-) I 90% use my phone as a PHONE, almost never use the camera. I used to be able to mount my phone as a mass storage device, but then Linux "improved" the mounting system and now I can't. Is syncthing some sort of glue app?
syncthing is a file syncing application. There's an app that runs on my Samsung galaxy and a package I installed from the Debian repository.
For me it is faster and easier than trying to use USB or BlueTooth. It runs continuously so I just have to wait a few seconds and my phone files are backed up and readily accessible.
Ah. I mostly avoid installing apps on my phone (I don't much trust Android apps), but that sounds like it might be worth having.
On the Linux side, how/to where are Android filesystem objects mapped?
