Any advantages to this over scp, samba/nfs, or even something like LocalSend?
Basically the advantage is that it’s ridiculously easy to set up. You just install the app and open it. The downside is that it’s ad-hoc. It’s not meant to be a long running server like smb.
I’d argue LocalSend is a lot simpler. Install the app on both devices, open it, transfer files. Zero configuration needed in the majority of cases.
There’s no configuration needed for QuickDAV either, and it works on anything with a browser. You could transfer files to your Nintendo DS. ;)
Alright, fine I will try it. I have to admit the web browser part does sound interesting.
Also, fuck ZDNet for autoplaying a video on this page.
“go to another machine on your LAN”
So its basically syncthing?
But that its not able to decide who gets whick file as there is only one option to log in in QuickDAV?
But maybe more intuitive?It’s a WebDAV server, so it’s more like FTP than Syncthing.
KDEConnect is honestly going to be better. It’s runs on everything (yes, Gnome and Cinnamon), has transport and device security, and offers more than just file transfer.
KDE Connect is one of the most amazing pieces of software I’ve used in my life
KDEConnect is great, but I don’t think it can share a folder. If you want to transfer a folder from, say, a MacBook to a Linux PC, I think QuickDAV would be better suited than KDEConnect. Also, QuickDAV works on Win/Mac/Lin.
You can send entire folders from Android/iOS just fine with a normal file browser.
Downloads for all platforms: https://kdeconnect.kde.org/download.html
KDE Connect fucking RULES! The ability to send clipboard from phone to pc, send files, control media, remote mouse input, its low key one of the most useful software I’ve ever used.
It’s one of their best pieces of software, hands down
