Great, now partner with Microsoft and merge it with Windows so the majority of Android users might finally stop emailing themselves, or sending files through their messaging app of choice

    KDE Connect works great for now.

    IMO if they could make the options more easily understood or let users select the way the files needs to be shared.

    I have often found that Nearby would be using F* Bluetooth to send files.

    Local send is better than everything else, including nearby share (both the windows version and the android one). And it's fastest by far.

    @MayonnaiseArch @rhythmisaprancer just tried it against quick share, but it took a while compared to quick share(same file, same wifi network) any reason why?

    @MayonnaiseArch @rhythmisaprancer nearby share is just as fast as local share. I dont know what samsung is doing but quick share is almost double the speed
