Yes that would be a solution as this machine is my desktop machine, and I am figuring that as soon as I update the whole OS it will probably go away, given that none of my other machines have this issue.
And to a certain point that is kind of how I am doing it now. I just plug the phone into a laptop, the laptop has a file manager window open with split pane, one side is the target desktop, the other side is the phone, I just drag and drop, it works and at this stage I will probably just continue to do it that way until I do the upgrade thing on this when 18.04 comes out.
