Ratings and Reviews
Easier than AirDrop
I’m blown away by the user experience in this app. Just by installing the `kdeconnect` package on my desktop, I could find my machine and pair within minutes. The UI is laid out cleanly and uses Apple’s native design principles, so it feels like a stock app.
Meanwhile, on my Macbook Air, I constantly need to reboot both my laptop and phone just to use features like clipboard sharing and AirDrop! This has been an issue ever since macOS Catalina.
The KDE team made iOS integration that “just works” better than Apple could, and I can’t recommend this app enough. It works on any linux setup, but I run KDE Plasma and it’s beautifully integrated.
Works great for PC transfers.
Apple must have recently changed something iOS, because it used to be easy to just plug your phone in, navigate to the file folder, and move the pictures and videos to your pc. Now, you can only do one picture at a time (videos still work fine for some reason), it’s a downscaled version of it, and it won’t move half the time, only copy. KDE Connect works perfectly to solve that problem. It’s not quite as fast as the direct transferring used to be, but since that’s no longer an option, this gets the job done well.
Prevent Auto Lock When Transferring Files
It doesn’t prevent the auto lock mechanism of the phone and the transfer process pauses when moving to another app or getting out of the app. (Not quitting the app. Just moving it to the background)
These two are major things that i had a problem with. Other than that, it’s an amazing app
