How I differentiate between padding and margin

Many times I used to get confused between padding and margin. This is how I now think about these two to have a clear distinction between them.

Padding

Padding is something I add to protect the content. Like foam packaging around a delicate item.
It comes inside border.
If we have a background color padding area gets background color too.

Margin

Margin is something I add to provide a distance between one box to other
Like moat around a castle.
It keeps two boxes from touching each other.
If we add background to the margin doesn't get it

Transfer files between Android and Ubuntu via USB

I use Ubuntu as my primary OS on my personal laptop. I use an Android phone. I wanted to transfer some files between Android and Ubuntu. I was shocked that Ubuntu doesn't provide the ability to transfer files by default.

How to fix the issue.

After spending some time over google I figured that Ubuntu doesn't support MTP by default. I installed gmtp to get the file transfer working
sudo apt-get install gmtp
