This might be possible with a laptop, but my main computer does not
have WiFi.

I considered Dropbox, but have around 30GB in over 800 files. The
quickest and easiest method appears to be the library computer. I
would like an ordinary GUI as I get for a memory stick. Maybe this
will be possible sometime. It appears that there is an 'Android File
Transfer for Linux' app, but the computer counterpart is for Ubuntu.
There is no guarantee that would work anyway.
