2) Pair the device with your desktop.
3) Try to send some file from desktop to mobile device.

Actual results:
File is missing, no error messages on Android or desktop;

Transferred file or some kind of error message, prompting to allow storage permission for KDE Connect app.

It works for me. You need to tap on the list items to get prompted about the permissions

Is this related to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364571 and https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380022 ?

I don't see any permissions prompts on my phone as shown in Nicolas Fella's screenshot, but am unable to browse phone files from computer.
