AdbFileManager

Alternative for the MTP which is very slow. It uses adb protocol to copy files which is lot faster
In my testing, the program copies files at speed of approximately 41.6MiB/s (332Mib/s) over USB 2.0, compared to MTP that copies at around 10Mb/s

To use this app, you must have enabled USB Debugging in android developer settings.
After enabling it, just go to the directory from where you want to copy from/where to copy, select the file(s) and hit the arrow to the correct copy direction

Note2: Its made in C# and Windows Forms. To put it on Linux/Mac I would completely have to rewrite it, so no Linux/Mac version

This app requires .NET 8 Runtime to function

Known bugs:

• On non english windows, when copying to the Pictures library folder, it creates new folder with the localized pictures name (fixed in 1.9.1 prerelease)

Settings:

Keep file modified date
This keeps the file modification date of the file thats being copied, instead of changing it to the time when it was copied
Preview files on double click
When double clicking media file (video or photo), it will temporarily copy it to the PC and show it. When the program is closed, it will automatically delete the temporary file from PC.
Compatibility fix
This fixes files being shown on very old Android versions, which dont support the ls -l flag

FAQ:

Q: I open the program but it instantly closes
A: Make sure you are opening AdbFileManager.exe, and not adb.exe
Q: Files are not showing A: If you have phone with older android, enable compatibility mode Q: What does Unwrap folder do?
A: Instead of copying whole folder as 1 item, it loads the contents of that folder and copies each file in it separately, allowing for smoother progress bar. Disadvantage is that its almost 2x slower (still lot faster than MTP though)
