You can use wireless ADB if you are comfortable with using command prompt.

You can also use an FTP client to connect with your phone. There are some file manager apps that allow you to set up an FTP Server on your phone. Connect to it with an FTP client and you can drag and drop files to and from your phone.

Snapdrop is a really simple file transfer tool. Install the app on your phone and you can drag files into your web browser to send to your phone. You can serve them to your computer from the phone too.

Reading thru the Snapdrop website I see several instances regarding:

"Ensure both phones are connected with the same Wi-Fi connection for the data loss transfer process."

I use 5G WiFi to connect to my phone to the router, but my desktop uses Ethernet. Both are on the same router. Do I assume correctly that I must first connect my desktop to the 5G Wi-Fi?

Yeah, both devices need to be connected to the same network, in this case the same wifi network.

@roirraW "edor" ehT was very excited when this capability became ironed out and worked well...

I wasn't aware, but apparently you have to be on the "beta" version of Nearby Share (app, even though it's a Android 13 stock app) to get this working on a Windows machine. I am excited to do all this transferring the next time I do the monthly updates manually....

Yep, the Nearby Share Beta Windows program has worked well enough for me. Requires Bluetooth (besides Wi-Fi/Ethernet), however, and my most recently built desktop is my first desktop that has Bluetooth built-in, so if your Windows computer has Bluetooth, I recommend this route.
