SUMMARY
When trying to transfer multiple pictures from the androids photo app using the share function and targeting the target device with kdeconnect the target pc will start to recive the files as normal but around the 3-4 file in my case Pictures it will freeze up and not startup again.
Once this happens even other programs are influenced like input leap and will not be able to communcate with other devices anymore this can be fixed by disconnecting the laptop/pc with kde connect on it from the network and reconnecting.
This also seems to be triggered when sharing pictures in quick succession wit the pc in question but its much more inconsistent that way.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1.Select multiple Pictures in picture app on android phone to share with PC 
2. Click the share button and select the target device
3. Wait until the transfer freezes

OBSERVED RESULT
File transfer freezes and interferes with other network applications on the target PC

EXPECTED RESULT
File transfer continues unhindered

The issue now also starts to happen with larger files or and files transfered with kdeconnects filesystem sharing

Comment 2 bmhieserich 2025-03-20 00:33:01 UTC

In my case I can only transfer one file, and even when trying to send one file at a time, I can only send one single file, subsequent attempts will not work. Attempting to send anything past one single file will break my entire internet connection with no solution except to reboot the system.
