Interesting timing, just yesterday I was looking for solutions for file transfer between android and windows. My main issue is how android presents as a very limited mtp device (i think?). Microsoft's phone link works, but only when opening a scrcpy-like screen with the android file manager. Very weird.

If possible I wanted to actually mount the device as a drive. I stumbled upon sshfs-win[0] which mounts sftp shares as drives. Couple that with prim-ftpd[1] and voilà: android mounts as a drive. Tailscale[2] can also make it fairly lan-independent.

Primitive ftpd supposedly starts on boot and keeps running but I found it stopping inconsistently at times, requiring a restart. Still, I'm quite satisfied. I suppose dav could work as well, but no apps popped up on fdroid.
