Description arne anka 2024-10-14 13:49:29 UTC
Sending a file from my PC (Linux) to Android results just in
"Failed receiving file from <host>"
No explanation, what fails, nothing helpful at all.
Trying to re-set the configured folder (default Downloads/ folder) results in the even more pointless
"Can't use this folder. To protect your privacy, choose another folder"

Andoird 14 (LineageOS 21)
Kdeconnect 1.32.5

Thank you for the bug report, and I'm sorry we didn't manage to get to it before. KDE Connect depends on the specifics of the device and network configuration. We recommend that you first try the troubleshooting steps at https://userbase.kde.org/KDEConnect#Troubleshooting, and if these do not work, try asking at discuss.kde.org or your distibution's support forums. Bug reports are only actionable for developers if the cause can be clearly identified and is something that can be fixed on our end, and at those places you can get help with narrowing this down and making it actionable for developers.
I am closing this bug report, but please do not hesitate to file a new one if you can narrow down the issue to a particular cause that can be fixed in KDE Connect.
