KDE Connect over WiFi doesn't work reliably on my university's network. It doesn't see the other device automatically, so I have to add it by IP. That works, but the problem is that the IPs are dynamic, so next time I connect I have to do the same thing all over again. KDE Connect provides a set of features to integrate your workflow across devices: - Transfer files between your devices. - Access files on your phone from your computer, without wires. - Shared clipboard: copy and paste between your devices. - Get notifications for incoming calls and messages on your computer. - Virtual touchpad: Use your phone Sorted by: 4.

If you sign up for the Beta version of the phone app in the Play store, you can share Android 10 clipboards, but it is not automatic. You have to manually send it using the phone's notification pull-down screen. It also means if you disable the kdeconnect persistent notification, you can't share the clipboard. true. Start KDE connect on your phone, and click the submenu button on the top right, and “Add a device by IP”. You’ll need to enter the IP address you’ve seen on the network page. If all goes well, your computer name will appear on the device list on your phone. Click on the icon, and select “Associate”. Click “Accept” on the Configuring KDE Connect. To start the configuration process, look inside the Android app. Additionally, launch the KDE Connect indicator (whichever version you use). On the default page inside the app, you’ll see an “available devices” page. Look for your Linux PC in the list, and tap on it to pair. Note: pairing WILL NOT WORK if your BEvW.
