Oh hehe, I had seen KDE connect here and there but never really tried it myself, how are you using it?? What good things does it bring to your lives? :)
It makes sharing files between your PC and phone super easy. And if you set it up right, you can even browse your entire phone's filesystem from your PC as well. Great if you take a lot of photos or download a lot of memes on your phone and want to quickly offload them to your computer. It also lets you play and pause media from your phone, so if you're playing music or watching a movie on your PC and need to pause while AFK, then it comes in pretty handy. Not only that, but it also has a presentation remote and can turn your phone's touchscreen into a trackpad and keyboard; great for HTPCs.
Those are just the features I use, it has way more than that. imho I think it might have too many features lmao
EDIT: Also, how could I forget about the feature that I mainly use KDEC for, the battery indicator plugin. It lets you monitor your phone's battery from your computer.
Sounds like phone link by Microsoft. Pretty neat, there should be a disclosure here or edit. You can't browse all of Android file system unless you root the device Google has locked down some file paths due to exploitation by the end user and attackers.
Eh thats kind of obvious one. You can't access such files from your phone either without root. He reffered /sdcard
I use it to share files between devices. I can also share urls between devices. Clipboard history is automatically synced between devices.
I can also use it find my phone if I misplace it somewhere.
It is also possible to run custom commands. You can shut down or restart your pc from your phone. My favourite is the screenshot command, after the screenshot is captured, it is automatically transferred to my phone. A really handy feature.
There is more. You can also play pause and control the volume of a video playing on your phone or on your laptop from the connect app. Your device can even be used as a touchpad.
Could it be used to transfer files from linux to an Android TV box?
Sorry, I don't know. I don't have an android TV box. Is kde connect available on the android tv playstore?
Looks like it is. Time to learn something new!
Thanks.
