KDEconnect works great

a) It connects automagically to the Android phone with bluetooth or by wireless router

I use it to:

b) transfer files back and forth
c) control Amarok, start/stop, ff, rw etc. volume control and it displays the track: the Blood Is Shining - Spark the Sound. I can control Amarok from fourty feet away in the apartment through two walls.
d) I was scared a foot into the air when....I happened to have Facebook open on the phone and got a notification on KDE connect, WITHOUT me "manually" starting it, of a Facebook chat notification! :0

note: there is a ping feature to test the connection.

If others have developed other uses I'm sure that the community would like to hear thereof.

Kudos to the devs!

Positive feedback is always welcome. We're glad that it's working out so well for you.

Last I knew, it only connected via WIFI to desktops also connected to the router. The lack of bluetooth connectivity is pretty minor in most cases, but in my case, I can't use it at work because the WIFI is on a separate network from the LAN so my desktop and my phone can't see each other over the network, but can talk via bluetooth (or usb).

I agree, KDEConnect is really good.

Only problem is that I cannot see how to connect to either root, or my sdcard on the Android device.

My device has root (in RAM) sdcard0 (in RAM) and sdcard1 (sdcard)

Cheers

Andrew
