SUMMARY
Did a clean install of Kubuntu today. I could access my phone's files through Kde Connect just fine until I updated the Android app through Play Store to v1.10. After the update process, I could not explore "All Files" on my phone through Dolphin, despite reinstalling the app and rebooting the phone and the PC. The issue persisted until I compiled the 1.8.4.1 version of the Android app and installed it on my phone.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Do a clean install of Kubuntu 18.10
2. Install the 1.10 version of the Android app from the Play Store
3. Attempt to access "All Files" on your phone through the desktop widget

OBSERVED RESULT
Dolphin doesn't display any files and spits out an error message whose exact wording escapes me but it was something about location not found, I think.

I get the error:
The file or folder /run/user/1000/5d6f330cb54ac8f9/storage/1E62-1C05/DCIM/Camera does not exist.

The folder structure up to /Storage/ is in place, but the other folders are not.

v 1.10 on android 8 Samsung G9+
v 1.3.3 on Opensuse Leap 15
