I use Nextcloud, but same idea. It annoys me to no end that transferring data over network is the easiest approach. I really wish you could just plug in the phone and have it act as a usb drive the way you used to be able to years ago.
You still can do that, at least with AOSP based OSes.
The only thing is that the destination OS must support the protocol (Debian in raw no, Debian with GNOME yes given some faulty dependencies) and choose in the notifications menu to act as USB drive instead of just charging.

Ah ok, I’m on LineageOS, and does looks like you can get it to mount https://danten.io/debian-mount-your-lineageos-phone/
So is just MTP for transferring files too.
That means that GNOME use FUSE or similar to support it at user level.
I am on LineageOS too.
Using TDE I cannot mount the phone directly. Won’t be detected but I didn’t investigate what I need to mount it.
I know that GNOME use these dependencies and integrates them very well.
I can mount it perfectly with GNOME.
Ah good to know it does work, gonna have to investigate what I’m doing with mine. :)
