Android phones can connect to a PC by ADB or wireless ADB, then 'adb shell ls -l /sdcard/' command can be used to list the phone's directory, and adb push adb pull can be used to upload/download files to phone.
ADB is really faster than the MTP device connection. So I'd like to ask adding a remote type 'ADB' for accessing phone.
There is an issue about this: https://github.com/rclone/rclone/issues/2956
There is also some code: https://github.com/rclone/rclone/tree/adb-remote which I haven't tried but it certainly used to work!
Thanks. I ran some adb test again, turned out it could fail when it meets filenames with unicode characters. The adb (windows binary) uses GTK encoding, and the Android uses utf-8, so that they conflicts.
The only solution is changing the adb sourcecode and recompile, which is a lot of hazzles.
So I thought it in a rush, integrating adb may not be a sensible idea for now.
Well if someone wants to pick up that branch it is available.
It could always be a plugin for rclone too.
