Doesn't KDE Connect do the same and more?
It can be used similarly as a lite version of KDE Connect, but KDE Connect is for pairing a dedicated device to your PC. This will allow sharing between phones on the same network as well, and allows easier use for usecases like quickly sharing a file to your friend who has their phone connected to your wifi, without making a permanent pairing of the devices.
You could do the same with KDE Connect but you have to set it up on your friends device and allow permissions and all that. With this, you just choose the files and send, and it can work over a link you send instead if the other person doesn't want to install the app. This is a much simpler version for one-time file transfers and for devices not owned by you/not trusted.
man that app is ducking unreliable, please stop recommending that thing
How have you found it unreliable? What system are you on? I have had no issues on both Linux and Windows, but I'd be happy to figure out why you're having issues!
i am on linux ubuntu 22.04 . i try to control the pc using my phone screen as trackpad and its on display keyboard but can' achieve that. i also have this gsconnect gnome extension and both my devices are yet to be paired. ngl i am also using this obscure chinese brand called infinix for a phone, so its not necessarily a samsung or a pixel. apparently mouse and keyboard extensions aren't supported on kdeconnect for this device but idk
That's not even barely enough to call it unreliable.
it has multiple one star reviews on flathub, what can i say..i am not the only one at least..
Is it even on Flathub? Last I checked there's a project that is no longer maintained.
i remember looking it up on flat, or less likely on snap-store (i rarely open it..so probbaly flathub yea), and it doesn't to be maintained really i agree
The one on Flathub isn't official nor maintained.
