Uploading photographs from a Google pixel?

[Olivier Croquette]

Hi Randolph,

do you mean transferring photos from a Pixel phone to the computer?
Assuming the files are physically on the phone, not in the cloud:
 * Unlock your phone.
 * With a USB cable, connect your phone to your computer.
 * On your device, tap the "Charging this device via USB" notification.
 * Under "Use USB for," select File Transfer.
 * Open the file explorer on your computer. Use it to drag files from
   the phone (photos are usually in the DCIM folder)
 * When you're done, eject your device from the computer
 * Unplug the USB cable.

Other options:
* LocalSend ( https://localsend.org/ ) - computer and phone must be in
the same network
* https://damonlynch.net/rapid/
* Use a Nextcloud server
