Tbh it's kind of a terrible app. I can never keep it connected and the UX is just painful. The most useful feature is transferring files, but when uploading to my PC the dialog box always closes itself before I can see where the file went.
You can try transferring files through MEGA. Its parallel synchronization is really fast.
Neat app! Definitely will try it when I get home.
It's actually fine, those permissions are all for actual features, and you only need to grant if you want to use the features that require them.
Yes, I'm just pointing out there is no tracking. Permissions are fine depending on context of what the app actually does
I never could get it to work in KDE Neon.
you need to be on the same network which also means excluding VPN on local network (or connect both PC and phone on the same VPN network)

KDE connect is so good it works better than the windows built-in integration to android.
I cannot say I know if this is a function on the Linux version, but one tiny gripe I have with Connect is that I can send my clipboard from my phone to my windows desktop but not vise versa.
I can definitely say, though, that the pretty much only other function I use (file sending) is pretty good when I want/need to send smaller things to my desktop and vice versa.
While I love the idea of KDE Connect, in practice the SMS feature doesn't work reliably at all.
