Browse your Android device from your Linux PC
You install either GSConnect (Gnome Shell) or KDE-connect (KDE) on your Linux PC/Laptop.
You install KDE-connect on your android phone/tablet/e-reader. (Google Play) You also need to install SSHFS on your Linux PC/Laptop to browse the filesystem. After that you can "pair" your Linux PC/Laptop with your Android device and "mount" your device storage and start browsing in your file browser. Great way to copy e-books or other media files to/from your device. You can also see things like battery status, notifications and copy over URL:s. You can even get your phone to start making noise so you can find it... Works fine with my Bouye Likebook Plus and my Huawei Mediapad 5 as well as on my Android phone. https://community.kde.org/KDEConnect https://github.com/andyholmes/gnome-...gsconnect/wiki Last edited by Adoby; 08-18-2018 at 02:30 PM. Reason: Changed the gs-connect link |
