There might be more modern ways of doing this, but I run "Wifi FTP server" on my phone, with my download directory as its root. Then I use filezilla or whatever to transfer what I need. Trouble free and platform agnostic.

I use kdeconnect with this script: https://github.com/Samueru-sama/kdeconnect-any-filemanager

Simply install flatpak then install warpinator

wifi file explorer pro apk

snapdrop.net if on the same network

I use Airdroid! It's free and works very well

X-plore on android can give file access via Web frontend in paid Version.

With that you can drag and drop files if that's what you're looking for.

I use primitive ftpd on the phone and FileZilla on the PC.

samba. share a folder on pc, and on your phone use a file manager that can access smb folders in your local network, then just copy or move from or to that folder. bit of a hassle to set up the first time, but makes things more convenient in the long run.

My go to hack was quickly running a python http server and connect to it. I can't remember what the command was exactly. Something like python -m http.server or so, then connect to the ip from my phone, heh.
