How can I easily and conveniently transfer files wirelessly between my linux computer and android phone?
I'm running OpenSUSE leap 15.5, When I was on the linux mint, I was using warpinator but using it on openSUSE is troublesome and I wish there was a linux version of blip but unfortunately there is not.

KDE Connect is amazing. Also works without KDE.
This just stops working on either my Linux laptop or my phone randomly. I'll need to kill the process and restart it Does anyone know how I can fix this? Battery optimisations are turned off on the phone.
If you turned off battery optimisations globally, it might still kill it. You specifically have to go into app options and allow it to be always on, as well as allowing all it's notifications
Sorry, I meant optimisations for KDE Connect in particular. It has a persistent notification enabled as well.
It kind of needs that (you can use trucks to make it go away) because of the android model of apps where an app may get yeeted off a cliff if it's not currently showing a notification. Again, you can pull some tricks but for the average user they have to do it this way.
KDE Connect to my iPad just stopped working for me a few months ago. Do you know of any possible reasons?
could be something fucked with your network settings or ports. if you have 2.4 and 5ghz modes try connecting your ipad to the mode different from the one used by your pc, works for me (edit: on android phone) and I still have no idea why
Doesn't seem to work.. Whenever I send a file from my ipad,
ya it's annoying as shit and lack of almost any documentation doesn't really help ðŸ«
KDEC has been horribly buggy on IOS in my experience. Never connecting or showing devices only occasionally.
Nah it doesn't. It works great on Debian KDE and my Android phone. It does not work on Mint Cinnamon and my Android phone.
Works on xubuntu. Though restarts are a common solution to no connection. That's fine, I'd rather not spend extra juice to keep them Wi-Fi tethered.
Is there a way for KDE connect to connect PC with phone if phone is on WiFi and PC on LAN going trough different router in the same network?
Wont go inte networking, but assuming networking works between them you can manually specify an IP in the mobile app:
Add a device -> three dots in top right -> add devices by IP.
Bonus: This also works over tailscale and similar apps, making it so you can have an always on connection despite not being home.
