Phone Link is Microsoft's late and closed source alternative to KDE Connect. It requires you sign in to a Microsoft Account for it to work.

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/phone-link-requirements-and-setup-cd2a1ee7-75a7-66a6-9d4e-bf22e735f9e3

This means all the transactions between your phone and your PC are monitored and sucked up by Microsoft.

I only stumbled onto KDE connect in f-droid about a month ago.

It's the fastest way to transfer large files from device to device.

I just wish I could show my phone screen on my old tablet.

@Rustmilian
That says works on Linux, Windows and Mac. I'm after android to android. Screen casting from phone to tablet essentially. Am I missing some fine print?

@Rustmilian Rust desk requires a server connection so not suitable for this application, but I use it for other things.

Can't get script android to work. Not really sure what it's after.

Really hope KDE connect can add something in to make it the one and only app for sharing between devices
