Introduction
So, you already got KDE Connect but want to know how you can pair your devices? This KDE tip will help you!
Pairing your phone and PC
Note
While we'll be using Android and KDE Plasma screenshots here, the steps should be similar on iOS and Windows.
- First, make sure all of your devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. It won't work if you don't follow this step!
- Next, open KDE Connect on both of the devices you want to transfer files between.
- With the app open on your phone, you should see a list of available devices to connect to.
- Select the one you want and click on the button.
- You should see a notification pop-up on your computer. Click in the notification.
- If you don’t see a notification, just open the KDE Connect app, click on the device you’re trying to connect to, and click on the button.
