SSH File sync applications are reliable...

Android: "Transfer Files To Computer, PC" ( Michal Bukáček includes GPL git URI, YMMV as we still need to audit it for traffic)

iPhone: PhotoSync is free to transfer movies and low-resolution images

MacOS:

Windows 11: sshfs is slow, but allows user account constrained access to remote shares

winget install -h -e --id "WinFsp.WinFsp"

winget install -h -e --id "SSHFS-Win.SSHFS-Win"

Also tried KDE connect a few years back, but didn't like the idea of giving a buggy phone access to shoulder-surf root accounts. Transferring stuff out of a VM with a local samba instance also works, but samba should also be containerized.
