What are the built-in options that we have for PIM-syncing?
- calendar
- contacts
- tasks
- rsync for files
Which sync protocols are supported out of the box, which ones can be added by applications?
Hopefully Jolla will release support for CalDav and CardDav in the future.
There is rsync 3.1.0+git1 on the command line.

MTP is it? Now that finally explains the annoying window I have to click away whenever I plug my Nokia into OSX ready to browse for my phone for pictures through OSX Finder.
Connecting camera opens [none]

iPhoto does not support Jolla, it does open and shows some camera but shows 0 pictures to import.
Hopefully that's something Jolla can fix as I've not had issues with most cameras that implement transfer via MTP.

I found that iPhoto on Mac works for camera photos (those in subdirectory Camera), but not for images in Pictures.
Still it's mostly useless as that's only for photos.

I suppose they'll leave it for Apple to fix...

whats wrong with sftp/bt transfers?
the fact that non or lamost non of audio players support them. I'm using sftp very much for some backup or photos or something like that. But transfering few GB of music song by song or album by album from my filemanager is just something I don't want to do.

Slow (SFTP) and very slow (BT).
That being said, I connect my N9 in mass-storage mode only if I have to transfer >10GB of data.
Apart from speed, mass-storage is still very useful when you need to use your phone as a USB flash memory, especially with devices that have no idea of what MTP (which is also far slower than direct USB transfer) is like many 'smart'-TVs and such.
Well, apart from legacy reasons and "don't fix it if it ain't broken" mentality (and it is broken in this particular instance). Sure thing, allowing such thing won't make the above mass-storage problem (legacy) solved, but there is no real reason why ext4 cannot be extended (it just needs a bit smarter journaling) to allow mounting by multiple hosts. Then you can stick an ext4<->FAT translation layer on top of it for legacy purposes and be done with it.
Anyway there are a few different things in the pipeline to improve on this problem. You ask, we try to please:

Just don't expect this to work for you perfectly yet. This needs more time for polishing and bugfixing. The whole fs mount handling needs to be reviewed in detail as tests show there are still some issues there.
And atm MTP does work on most current OSes with the notable exception of the "ever broken when it comes to widely accepted standards" OS X. So the plugging in USB to exchange files use case works.

All times are GMT. The time now is 03:40.
I'm using a Mac and I haven't found a way to transfer files between Jolla and OS X. I can't be arsed to take the SD card out every single time. SFTP probably requires developer mode?
Edit: seems like I can use Bluetooth to send files... Sending one file at a time at a whopping 50 kb/s speed, yay...
