This is the Samsung app I miss most when I use my Pixel

The Pixel 8 is appreciated as a capable smartphone, but it lacks some features found in the Galaxy S24 FE, particularly in software capabilities. Samsung My Files is favored over Files by Google in a poll, receiving 56% of the votes compared to 18% for Files by Google. My Files excels in connecting to network storage and offers superior search functionality, allowing users to search within documents. It also features a breadcrumb menu for easier navigation. However, Files by Google has advantages such as the Safe Folder feature for securing content, quick access tools, and a more visually appealing interface. Despite the strengths of both stock file managers, the author prefers third-party file management apps for greater control and versatility, with Samsung My Files being the preferred choice if limited to stock options on the Pixel.

Android users may be able to scan QR codes faster with easier actions

Google is enhancing its QR code scanning experience on Android devices with a gradual rollout of a user-friendly interface. The updated link menu includes options like Copy text and Share, in addition to the traditional Open button. The viewfinder interface has been modified, featuring a minimized "Scan QR code" label, a flash icon at the bottom, and a new option to Scan from photo. This update improves the clarity of scanned links, indicating where they will direct users, such as to the Chrome browser. Google previously introduced the Circle to Search feature, which uses AI for visual lookup of barcodes and QR codes, providing a direct link to websites after scanning. Additionally, the Quick Share feature allows users to share files via a QR code that others can scan.

I found a better way to transfer files between Android and Linux

Transferring files between a Pop!OS Linux desktop and an Android device can be done using a tool named Packet, which utilizes Quick Share for file transfers over the same wireless network. To install Packet, the Linux distribution must support Flatpak applications, Bluetooth must be enabled, and the Android device should run a version of Android that includes Nearby Share. User privileges with sudo access are required for installation. The installation involves executing a command in the terminal and optionally logging out and back in. Users need to enable the Static Network Port in Packet's Preferences and open port 9300 on the firewall using the command PLACEHOLDER74f5483d2fa9d11c for successful file transfers. Files received are stored in the ~/Downloads folder, which can be customized in the Preferences settings.
