I have a Xiaomi 11 Lite NE 5G. It comes with the painfully slow USB 2.0. I wish to transfer local music files to it, but it’s taking a long time to get copied over USB connection as well as it fails in-between sometimes. Is there any way to transfer the files in a quick and reliable manner?

For one-off file transfers between any two devices, I like to use justbeamit.com

For a long term link, use syncthing

if its just one or two files, simplex is good as a copy paste buffer.

If its alot of files, syncthing can’t be beat.

Why not just use SFTP?

Just actually looked into this app thanks to this thread. I always thought it was only for KDE, and I’m more of a GNOME kinda guy. It’s great, and now I have it on all my devices!

Only buy phones with a MicroSD, all Android transfer nonsense will waste your time.
