On AnkiDroid, how do you sync from USB? I'm unable to find the option in settings. Is it just a matter of having your device plugged in via USB and having AnkiDesktop open?

AnkiDroid developer here.

It does not work so easily unfortunately.

Right now the easiest/safest would be:

  1. Export your decks as an APKG file
  2. Copy the APKG file over USB
  3. Open the APKG file in Anki Desktop

There is a more convenient solution but it is very difficult to set up initially:

  1. Set up Android to to Ethernet over USB
  2. Install your own sync server
  3. Compile AnkiDroid with your own sync URL
