SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
Scenario - Android device has received an SMS with a file attached such as a photo. The photo thumbnail is touched and the photo is opened.
The problem is that when touching the share icon, "send to device" shows as well as a list of devices. Choosing a device does nothing. If the file is copied from the message into the file system it can be shared using kde connect.

If the intent was to be able to share files directly from SMS then it should be fixed. If this was never the intent then the "send to device" option should not appear.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. open an SMS attachement
2. touch the share icon. paired device list appears
3. choose a device
4. observe that no notification appears on the intended recipient
5. scan through the Downloads folder
6. the file is not found
7. observe that the android device shows an upload in the status line 

OBSERVED RESULT
The file was not transferred

EXPECTED RESULT
The recipient desktop should receive a notification. The file should now be found in the Downloads folder

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Using a file manager on the android device, a file can be shared as expected using kde connect.
The desktop widget can browse the android device file system and can download a file.
