> KDE Connect has been around for at least 5 years : https://apps.kde.org/kdeconnect/ . It is quiet amazing and does way more than only file transfert : clipboard sharing, multimedia control, ping, messages, remote keyboard/mouse, etc.

I also love KDE Connect; the clipboard sharing is so unobtrusive it feels almost magical. It takes less effort to copy and paste across my devices than it does between only Emacs and Vi on my desktop!

It seems to be not yet possible to share entire folders with KDE Connect, so I use Syncthing for that, which is also polished in its own, somewhat different way (more technical to use but optimised for large amounts of data).

KDE Connect expects you to mount the phone's directory to transfer folders, a decision I will never understand. You can use globbing to send every file in a folder though.
