From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

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.
I am surprised that most reliable and more importantly desktop environment independent solution is not as popular here.
I use it with iOS. Owlfiles app supports samba, but I am sure there are others.
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.

Mostly because I'm not the most competent techie, I've been using VLC between my PC and iPhone, for moving "books" around on devices that are very out of date.
I use Airdroid! It's free and works very well
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.
