SUMMARY When using the filesystem expose plugin, the file manager (Thunar) opens with an empty directory. To browse the actual files, one needs to append `storage/emulated/0` to the path, so that the file manager shows the phone's contents. For reference, see this comment: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=473511#c12. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Pair an Android phone and a Linux desktop. 2. Right click the KDE Connect Indicator's systray icon to open the menu of connected devices. 3. Hover over your Android phone's name, then click on "Browse device". 4. When your file manager opens with an empty directory, append `storage/emulated/0` to the path (essentially traversing to the "storage" directory, then the "emulated" directory, then the "0" directory). OBSERVED RESULT The file manager opens with an empty directory (after step 3), but then shows the phone's internal storage contents after step 4. EXPECTED RESULT The file manager should directory open with the phone's contents. In other words, it should show a directory called "Internal Storage", which corresponds to the `storage/emulated/0` that was added in step 4. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux distribution: Arch Linux KDE Connect (Linux) version: 24.05.2 KDE Connect (Android) version: 1.30.1 from F-Droid KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I haven't updated the Android app to 1.31.1 due to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=488644.
same issue with arch linux and gnome (nautilus) via gsconnect. atm the only way to access is to add manually /storage/emulated/0 in sftp url. hope can be fixed.
