Hi,<br>
<br>
it depends on the brand of the cell phone and the software
installed on<br>
your Xfce computer. I can't comment on bluetooth or other devises,
but<br>
iOS and iPadOS devices connected by USB. At the end of my reply
are<br>
some pointers related to Android devices and a pointer related to<br>
Thunar and bluetooth.<br>
<br>
Usually only access to the DCIM (Digital Camera IMages) folder is<br>
possible. However, with special software it's possible without a<br>
jailbreak of a cell phone and even without gvfs installed by the
Xfce<br>
computer to theoretically access everything that can be accessed<br>
by the vendors proprietary software iTunes, but I have given up
using<br>
this software for Apple devises, for several reasons, for examples
see<br>

<br>
To access Apple devices I run iTunes by a Windows guest in a
virtual<br>
machine on a Linux host.<br>
<br>
IOW an update of your cell phones operating system might break<br>
compatibility with the software installed on the Xfce computer.
First<br>
the proprietary device gets an update, then the reverse
engineering by<br>
upstream of the FLOSS software can start, so this software is
always<br>
behind. It might be impossible to connect to the portable device
and<br>
seemingly even data corruption on the portable device can happen.<br>
<br>
I don't know how good this software is in 2022, as you can see my<br>
experiences are dated back. However, access to photos and videos
by the<br>
DCIM folder shouldn't be an issue and without a risk.<br>
<br>
Related to Android devices this might be from interest:<br>

You probably don't need gvfs when using bluetooth, however, it's
just<br>
an optional dependency.<br>
<br>
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ pacman -Qi thunar | grep Optional |
head -1<br>
Optional Deps : gvfs: trash support, mounting with udisk and
remote filesystems [installed]<br>
<br>
The Arch Wiki can be helpful for other Linux distros such as
Ubuntu,<br>
too, but is unlikely a help when using a BSD install:<br>
<br>
"Mounting Bluetooth devices<br>
<br>
The instructions below describe a method for using different file<br>
managers with Blueman. The examples in this section focus on
Thunar. If<br>
you are using a different file manager, substitute thunar with the
name<br>
of the file manager you are using.<br>
<br>
obex_thunar.sh<br>
<br>
#!/bin/bash<br>
[ ! -d ~/Bluetooth ] && mkdir ~/Bluetooth<br>
fusermount -u ~/Bluetooth<br>
obexfs -b $1 ~/Bluetooth<br>
thunar ~/Bluetooth<br>
<br>
Now you will need to move the script to an appropriate location
(e.g.,<br>
/usr/local/bin). After that, mark it as executable.<br>
<br>
The last step is to change the line in Blueman tray icon >
Local<br>
Services > Transfer > Advanced to obex_thunar.sh %d." -<br>
