      People don’t really do it anymore because “files” have largely been abstracted away or they are on cloud storage, but at least on Android I’ve never had an issue with file transfer. Can’t speak for iOS.

        The issue I’ve had with Android was, for awhile at least, it stopped allowing you to mount the phone’s storage as a file system on a PC using normal USB mass storage and wanted to specifically use, what? SMP or something? Something about old standards for digital cameras (similar to the reason why the camera roll on all phones is stored in a folder called DCIM) that continues to pollute smart phones.

          Yeah, that’s the default that I get (and use). It is tied to old digital cameras.

          Agreed, it is pretty annoying. You can still use it for file transfer though. And I am sure you can get around it (I’ve just never bothered to look into it).
