Open source way to connect your devices together. I just got it and it seems pretty dope. Anyone used this, or something similar before?

Connect is the primary reason I find myself stuck to KDE
Don't get me wrong Gnome is great after a few tweaks, but it's not KDE Connect great. Sharing files phone-pc, sms (buggy, but still handy) - love it.

The GSConnect extension enables the same functionality on Gnome, btw.

Yeah but then you have to use gnome when you could be using kde

KDE connect is great, but how is this related to this community?

They're hosting their computer in their home by themselves hahaha.

Wish there was a way to remotely view your computer monitor

If you're in the house, just use an elaborate series of mirrors.

If you're somewhere else, just use an even longer elaborate series of mirrors.

Isn't the internet just an elaborate series of mirrors 🤔

The internet is a series of tubes.

It's gimped for me because it insists on using an insecure sftp algorithm, so I cannot use the file system browser to transfer files to/from my Android 13 devices. It probably can't access the root anyway. I want to use it for backing up my device files, especially the Android folder.

Everything else seems to work though.

It can't do that. You give it an empty folder and that folder is sync'd.

KDE Connect utilizes SSHFS in order to securely and wirelessly mount your Android device's file system to your computers. You will be able to browse all of the files on your device via your preferred file manager whether that be Dolphin, Nemo, Nautilus, Thunar, etc.

That's nice, but since android 11 you can't do that anymore.

Because of the encryption algorithms, mostly.
