Introduction
KDE Connect is a free and open-source app for connecting all of your devices. It actually does a whole lot more than just transferring files: you can answer calls from your PC, see your phone's notifications, use your phone as a wireless mouse, send SMS, and share your clipboard. Honestly, it really does a lot of stuff! If you want help knowing where to get that marvelous program, you've come to the right place.
Downloading KDE Connect
To get started, you'll need to download KDE Connect on both your phone and your computer (or any combination of devices you want to connect). If you're using Linux with the KDE Plasma Desktop, it will already come preinstalled, so you'll only need to download the phone app in that case.
If you're on Windows, download KDE Connect below:
Download on Windows - Microsoft Store
Then download it on your phone:
Download on Android - Play Store
There are also testing or third-party versions available for other platforms. Please note those versions are either experimental or might look different from what we’re describing in this tutorial, so we’ll not be covering them today. You can give them a try by downloading them from the links below:
Download on macOS – Experimental
Download on Gnome – Third-party
After installing KDE Connect, you’re ready to pair your devices!
