Transfer files from Nexus 5 to PC I recently got a new phone and want to back up the files from my old phone (Nexus 5) before passing it on to a family member.

Using MTP connected to a Windows 10 PC the transfer is unbearably slow (around 10-20 seconds per file, even though a file may only be a few kB). Using MTP connected to a Mac using Android File Transfer is a lot faster, however the app crashes, freezes or gives an error after a minute or two and stops transferring files.

Is there a better way to transfer files, or a solution to the slow transfer speeds on Windows?
When there are many files to be transferred, and small ones at that, this has been reported

Consider PC to mobile transfer app, which uses FTP (best suited for for your purpose as against MTP ) to transfer on WiFi or Mobile data. There are other apps too, but this worked well for me in the past

Share Via http is another open sourceapp worth considering. It's handy to share with other mobile devices as well

Alternatively, you can consider other File Sync apps from the curated list maintained by Izzy
