Bug ID: 492197
Summary: Sending files to Android does not work.
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version: 24.02.1
Platform: Microsoft Windows
OS: Microsoft Windows
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: windows-application
Assignee: piyushaggarwal...@gmail.com
Reporter: alanwilson...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Sending files to my Android devices does not work from Windows. I have not
tried my Linux computer as it's downstairs and I can't be bothered.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Pair an Android device with a Windows 10 computer.
2. Configure the send/receive file plugin such that it is sending to a folder
which the app can write to.
3. While not in the KDE Connect app on Android, send a file from the Windows
device to the Android device.
4. See that the KDE Connect "Tap to open" notification appears, but there is no
file name attached and tapping the notification does nothing.
5. If desired, set up a Linux device to send files to the same folder on
Android and see that this functions just fine.
OBSERVED RESULT
I instantly receive the "file downloaded" notification on Android, but the file
does not exist.
EXPECTED RESULT
I would wait a bit for it to download and the file would be there.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 10 (OS build 19045.4651)
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.0.0
Qt Version: 6.6.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I can confirm that it is not a folder permissions issue on Android. The linux
computer mentioned earlier sends files to the same folder and it works fine, at
least when using the CLI in a bash script. It is not this device being
problematic either as it is capable of ping, transmitting notifications and
syncing clipboard.
I know this version of KDE Connect is slightly outdated. Short of building it
myself there is no way to obtain the most recent version on Windows; it is not
distributed on any of the three sources linked on the download page.
