I have posted a askubuntu question with no solution: https://askubuntu.com/q/1339126/925128

I want to open some videos located on an Android phone before saving them on local drive or any other location.

I can do that in Xfce. But on Plasma, when I want to open the video, Dolphin starts copying it in cache, that is on local drive, namely `~/.cache/kioexec/krun/`.

If I wanted that file on drive before opening it, I would have copied it myself. But I want to save time and space and open the file directly. (That may be very useful if I want to process/transcode a large file: instead of copying on the local drive, one could set the phone location as the transcoder source and the external drive as the target.)

Can I do that on Plasma, given that is normal in Xfce and other desktops?

Installing `gvfs-fuse` in Kubuntu 20.04: the folder `/run/user/1000/gvfs/` is empty.

The mountpoint `/run/user/1000/gvfs/` is not the one in Kubuntu 20.04, and it seems that Dolphin doesn't mount locations, it accesses them via separate KIO processes, as said here: https://www.reddit.com/r/kde/comments/a ... &context=3

This is in Kubuntu 20.04, Plasma 5.18.5.

Is this because iso-fuse package is absent (and cannot be installed) on the system? - as said here: https://www.reddit.com/r/Kubuntu/commen ... &context=3

(There is also a BUG (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=413885) where `~/.cache/kioexec/krun/` is not cleaned and a lot of GB may be hidden there. Plasma 5.18.5 seems affected by this, but the problem seems unrelated to this question).

Hi!

KIO does not mount the filesystem as you already read. As I do not know Android, I cannot give you an exact answer, but I'm using the fuse module `sshfs` to mount my phones (Sailfish OS / Ubuntu Touch). This works independend on all devices providing SSH-packages, like openssh-server or similar. To map user permissions you have to enable `allow_other` in the /etc/fuse.conf.
