--sync: only push files that are newer on the host than the device
pull [-a] REMOTE... LOCAL
copy files/dirs from device
-a: preserve ...

I have not tried a USB connection, but have been successful by using kdeconnect. The phone shows up in dolphin and you can drill down to the appropriate camera folder. Both computer and phone need to be on the same wifi network.

Hi All,
