    For my LineageOS phone I use ADB: adb pull /sdcard/DCIM/Camera to get photos I’ve taken for example.

        If OP installed GrapheneOS they likely already have adb and USB debugging configured.

        That said, as recommended in the FAQ, one should use android-file-transfer, since enabling USB debugging (and using adb) is a security breach

      Actually, I always end up using ADB tools to get files or photos, you can get recursive files to get them all. I do it even with people that tries to get photos from their Windows machines, so I don’t think it’s a problem with Linux neither. This is the best way to get safely and correctly all your files.
