Description sienanichol 2025-12-27 08:33:18 UTC 
SUMMARY
I can connect to and ping my ios device with the desktop app, but sending files from the desktop to the ios device only works when selecting "Share file" from the system tray menu. Selecting "Share file" through Actions in the desktop KDE Connect window itself does not work. I can send files from the ios device to the desktop fine. I can also send my clipboard from my desktop to the ios device.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open KDE connect on desktop and ios, pair devices.
2. Select ios device on desktop app to send file to, under "Actions" click "Share File."
3. Choose file to share, click "Open."

OBSERVED RESULT
File not seen in "Receiving," "Sending," or "Errored" sections in Files tab on the ios app. File does not appear in Photos app, or "KDEconnect" folder in "On My iPad", which is where it is usually sent when using the system tray to send files.

EXPECTED RESULT
The file should be received, and a log should show up in "Receiving" or "Errored" sections in the Files tab on the ios app.
