linux mint lts jammy, i tried ifuse and i could get my cam roll but couldnt find the voice recordings or notes. any advice?
Transfering files from an iphone is a nightmare, I used to transfer files using rsync in some app that worked as a linux container, but I first had to transfer the files to the app’s storage.
but I first had to transfer the files to the app’s storage what does this mean
In iOS, apps can only acces a directory specific to them that no other app can read, there are no shared directories that all apps can acces or a way to make symlinks or something would help (at least i’m not aware of them). So I have to move my files from wherever i need them to use them (like a video player app whose directory is not visible to the file sharing app) to the directory of the app I use to share files, and viceversa when I share files from a computer to the phone.
In android, I can give apps permission to read and write files on the general storage.
I’m talking about files in general, I never tried to share voice notes specifically. If you only want to transfer files to the PC and not to the phone, I think the files app supports FTP. If you can access your voice notes from the files app, this is probably the best solution. File transfers lver USB on iphoes are extremely slow anyway.
can you try transfwrrinf a voice note and a notes note to pc and confirm, cant get it owkring myself
I use Nextcloud. But that also means setting up and managing Nextcloud. By the same token you could use google drive.
For notes and photos you can export them within the app. Notes specifically requires that you print and then hit the share on the print dialogue to save the notes to the file system as a pdf.
Notes also has another option: if you have a non-Apple mail account on your phone - you can enable notes for that email account and simply move (or copy) your notes from one account to the other. The notes will then become available within that email account mailbox structure on any device or machine where that email account is enabled.
For voice recordings you can save any voice recording directly to the iOS filesystem.
The iOS files app also allows you to connect to any other server/desktop via SMB.
There are lots of options here. None are awesome, but they work.
whats smb. also can you set up nextcloud exclusively through lan (without port forwarding) and if so how?
SMB : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Message_Block
In short it’s a way to share network access to storage across MacOS/Linux/Windows.
MacOS switched from AFS to SMB (as the default file sharing / network storage protocol) a few years ago as it was clear that was how everything was headed - though iOS and MacOS also have native support for NFS.
On linux, you can use samba to create SMB shares that will be available to your iOS device.
It’s a lot of configuration though - so maybe not the best choice.
As for Nextcloud - indeed you can use it in your local network without making it available on your WAN connection. That’s how we use it here.
When we need it remotely - we VPN into our home network. But no exposed ports. :)
I’m not an iphoner, but I think you will, one way or the other, need some sort of intermediary. I personally host nextcloud, so that would work. I’ve heard good things about syncthing, but haven’t tried it myself. Signal allows sending yourself messages and has a desktop client that you could use.
There’re probably a ton of options.
Easiest option would be to email them to yourself (or use a messaging app that has an option to message yourself)
I second this one.
Recently I’ve created multiple ‘rooms’ in Telegram w/o any intentions of adding another person. Each room has a theme so that my notes are segmented. Also I have access to Google Speech Services, so I moved away from voice recordings completely. Instead, I dictate my notes, which are automatically turned into text. Works for a couple paragraphs, but if I were taking recording work meetings, I’d probably use Google Recorder
