Mine is Local Send which is a FOSS alternative similar to air drop that works across a variety of devices.

      Kde connect is great, iv always thought about using it but never got round to it as im current using a wm instead of a desktop environment. If i was to switch to a desktop environment kde would be my first choice as it has so many features.

        It used to be considered a security risk back in the day. Maybe it just a security “unknown”

      I’ve had issues with it for file sharing, so far that I’m sticking to LocalSend, but I really need to explore KDEConnect further, as I haven’t explored the rest of its features.

        Wait kdeconnect is Foss?! Can I fix the atrocious gui myself?!? 😂

        That application rules but it looks like butt on my workstation.

        There’s also a still in-development rival for GNOME, Valent. And it’s a native program and not just a shell extension. I prefer it, and maybe it even has more features.

      I found it to be more than I needed. I still have it installed, but use localsend more often
