You just have to pay a little bit extra to get the speeds (that no one really uses on phones)
Well I don't have an original quality cloud backup. So eventually I move the DCIM folder back to my PC.
That being said. I haven't tried "Nearby" to move a 30GB folder with hundreds of items to the PC. Maybe that works fine already. (For a few items it's very fast as long as you have a fast WiFi network).
You can set up backup on PC(or Mac of course) over WiFi. It will then backup your phone overnight where speed is irrelevant.
I have syncthing setup to sync DCIM folder to PC over WiFi
I'll transfer a bunch of audio books to and from my phone every once in a while. Since they are FLAC files I certainly do appreciate the additional speed from having a protocol that's not yet old enough to drink.
And in case someone missed the reference: USB 2.0 was released in the year 2000.
😄do you really believe that there are more than 1 percent of iPhone users who sync stuff like you do? (Which don’t use a iPhone pro anyway)
Probably. Especially with phone cameras becoming so good that we now need to transfer multi GB video files.
