File transfer is trivial via SFTP or USB direct.

Can you take me through getting the phone to connect via USB?

Used to be true, but not with latest versions of KitKat.

Oh, I'm glad you told me that, I'll stick with version 4.4.2

Hmm, seems that Kit Kat 4.4.4 has many issues according to this

"Android 4.4.4 KitKat update problems are, unsurprisingly, still
frustrating many Nexus users. Googles Product Forums are littered
with complaints about Android 4.4.4 KitKat. Some of the latest issues
including poor battery life on the Nexus 5 and Nexus 7, random reboots
to the Nexus 4, the usual Wi-Fi issues, GPS problems, random freezing
and lock ups, problems with email sync, and more.

snip more problems

I'm sure there are for some people, though whether any worse than

I'm running 4.4.2 on my tablet and have not had any bugs or problems.
