That's just great. It's literally the only use case I had for it. There are tons of better ways to share files on PC.

Do give KDE connect a try. It's great

I did, before syncthing. It... isn't great.

KDE Connect is great, but not for this use-case. SyncThing was absolutely the choice for automated syncing of files between Android and PC. KDE Connect just doesn't do that (AFAIK). The two tools serve pretty different purposes.

KDE Connect wasn't really reliable and easy to use while I did. And Syncthing pretty much eliminated the need to use KDE Connect for me. The only extra-feature of KDE Connect was sharing the buffer, and I just paste to Obsidian now instead (any text editor would do, but I don't know anything better, even though I hate it for being closed-source). Maybe slightly less ergonomic than KDE Connect in this regard, but it's negligible. And I don't need to send files, if I can just share files.

In fact, I think I never even connected the phone via USB since I started using Syncthing. Copying/moving to/from shared folder is amazingly both more ergonomic and much faster (I never learned, why moving files to Android device via USB is so insanely slow).

So I really don't know an alternative. It solved pretty much all my phone/PC sync needs. It also enables backuping the important stuff (I don't use Google for that, or course). Dropbox doesn't cut it either. I really don't imagine how would I use my phone w/o Syncthing, it's pretty much essential.
