I will agree with anyone who says something sensible that is logically
defensible, where I agree with candycane that Linux iFuse is the way to go.

What AFC/iFuse allows on Linux is bidirectional iOS transfers over USB!
a. Note it's over USB (not over Wi-Fi or the cloud)
b. Note you can WRITE to iOS over USB!

When I used to dual boot my Windows desktop to Ubuntu, I was initially
shocked at how *easy* it was to attain USB read access to iOS' file system!

That's USB. Not SMB. Not anything else. It's USB file transfers with iOS!

Since all that USB magic was done by iFuse, I desperately searched for a
Windows implementation of iFuse - but alas - it doesn't appear to exist.

That's sad because with tricks using Apple File Conduit (AFC) over USB that
only one in a million people are aware of, you can write to iOS' filesys.

Yes. Write. To much of the iOS filesys. Not just to DCIM!

Notice I copied huge feature-length films from Ubuntu to iOS sandboxes!
Alas, iFuse & AFC do not exist (AFAIK) on either Windows and Android.
-- 
KDEConnect isn't bad though.

If anyone knows of an AFC/iFuse implementation on Android/Windows, please
let me know as being able to do USB bidirectional file xfer is fantastic!
