I should've been a little more.clear lol. I work at a job where I'm constantly transferring people's data from old and sometimes very old phones to newish and newer phones. Apps like Samsung Smart switch is great, if the old phone has enough space to actually allow me to transfer everything. But very frequently they don't.
I remember back years ago places had the machines they could hook two phones up to and transfer data and I'm thinking in the realm of that? Like once both devices are connected and trusted etc, I can use the pi as the middle man to go ahead and transfer the data without worry or old phone taking five minutes to open an app or having to delete tons of data just so the old phone has space to transfer.
I understand this may sound odd and incredibly niche, and I'm not even sure if it's plausible or in my ability to do. Just figured if it were possible and wasn't at an expert level, someone here would know how.
Either way just been an idea I've been wanting to try for a couple of weeks now. Ant and all info is super appreciated.
