  2. Menu to request for pairing and unpairing.
  3. Menu to start SFTP and open a file browser.
  4. Menu to send files.
  5. Menu to send SMS.
  6. A small program, kdeconnect-send to help sending files and choosing device.
  7. A .contractor file, so you can send files from any of elementary OS's applications.
  8. A Python extension for Nautilus, Nemo and Caja.
  9. Menu to ring and find your phone.
  10. From the device name menu you can get encryption information.
  11. From the device status menu item you can open KDE Connect settings.

To make life better you can try to apply this:

  1. Add KDE Connect Indicator to your startup applications, on your System Setting if is not.
  2. Nautilus, Nemo, Caja and Pantheon-files users have native extensions installed by default, make sure you have, python-nautilus, python-nemo or python-caja instelled to use it.
  3. If your files manager is not supported by extensions create a action entry with kdeconnect-send %F as command. Or you can use the script present on the scripts folder, adding it to your file manager script folder.
