Hey gang, do you have any suggestions for moving data from my phone to my jellyfin server? I tried using the daemon tools on F-Droid and could not for the life of me figure them out.

I got into this issue recently, and the ones on F droid are bad like you say. So after trying many I ended up using 2 apps. If you want an open sources app, then good old Ghost Commander works very good. It has very good transfer rate and stability. The downside is the old interface, although some people might like it, and that it cannot keep the connection on the background. So if you lock your phone or close the app, the transfer will stop. The second one is not open source, but it works really well. It's CX File Explorer. It has a fast transfer and can keep working in the background. All the other file managers that I tried had connectivity issues and would not complete the transfer on big files.
