How access to files through can be so slow in 2023 just to list files in a folder (namely the camera one with 'who could have expected' hundred of files) ?

@tuxicoman be glad it's just some hundreds. I was asked by $someone who had 3k files there – MTP simply hung and finally crashed.

Would be nice if good-old USB MassStorage could at least be used on demand. As that's not the case, I almost always use ADB. Thanks to adbfs being available for Linux, I can mount my devices directly. And suddenly, access gets blazingly fast…

@IzzyOnDroid adb is for debugging by its name. If it is so better why is not the standard way to access files from computer?

I am worried if android devs are satisfied by MTP for end users.

@tuxicoman Debugging is one of its purposes, yes, but far not the only. See e.g. my list here: android.izzysoft.de/applists/c

And I tend to interpret the name rather as "Android Debug as Bridge" – as a bridge to many more features you'd otherwise miss…
