KDEConnect for Ubuntu

  • 772

Is there an app in Ubuntu that provides the same integration with Android phones as KDEConnect?

Now that KDE is a framework it mightn't have the same impact of installing libs into my Ubuntu install as it used.to but if there was something designed that would be better.

unity

    As of August 2017, you can use kdeconnect on Unity if you install kde-connect indicator. To do that:

    sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/indicator-kdeconnect
sudo apt update
sudo apt install indicator-kdeconnect

    1. To share files between your PC and Android, I use Airdroid, no PC client needed.
    2. To Control your laptop from your PC, I use Splashtop, The Ubuntu client is available in the software center, I'd download it personally from Splashtop.com. My friend likes to use teamviewer instead, the Ubuntu client is available on Teamviewer.com

    Note that I have never shared web pages, although it might be possible, I prefer using pocket, it has an extension for dolphin browser if you use it, maybe other browsers as well, and an extension for every PC browser.

  3. Ubuntu supports KDE services, but you may need to check the checkbox in Startup Apps to activate KDE services. Then you can install kdeconnect indicator, and then you will be able to install kdeconnect on your Android device to transfer stuff from the phone.
