Ubuntu package: kdeconnect 0.8 - http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/kdeconnect
Is installing: http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/amd64/kdeconnect/filelist
"/usr/share/kde4/services/kdeconnect.protocol
/usr/share/kde4/services/kdeconnectsendfile.desktop"

These are for the KDE4. The Ubuntu Dolphin package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/xenial/dolphin is for the KF5.

The KF5 services are at: 'kf5-config --path service'

So this is a Uubntu packaging problem. Should be filed at Launchpad - open bugs at the Launcpad/Ubuntu: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdeconnect/+bugs

As a workaround the you could try to link the service files to the KF5 path.

The KF5 services are at: 'kf5-config --path service' shoild be: 'kf5-config --path services'

Actually kdeconnect 0.8 was KDE4-based, so it's not a bug in the Ubuntu package, but just an old package. Anyway this is clearly a Kubuntu-specific issue, closing as downstream.
