Apple for 5 years and want to return to Android

Using Dropbox or something you can use as a go between to sync and then download directly to the device (if that’s where you ultimately want it stored) is probably at your best bet.
 
I switched from apple to android about three years ago, other cloud stuff is better than apples because it's free (google photos for err photos, dropbox or one drive for everything else) - apple do that thing which forces you to pay upgrade. Never used airdrop so don't miss that.

Not having facetime if people you speak to a lot are on apple can be a pain in arse. Can use duo, zoom etc but it isn't quite as easy, have to tell people to set themselves up first.

The other downside was that, as I ported number to a new contract on an android device, people were still able to send imessages to me for some reason, although obviously I couldn't receive them, but the sender didn't get a failed message alert or anything, so for ages people would phone me to moan that I hadn't responded to messages that I'd never received.

Don't really regret switching though. Then again it wouldn't bother me much to move back. All just phones aren't they, all much of a much

You can go on the Apple website and deregister your number, but obviously you have to know it's happening.
