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.

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

Not anyone know that KDE connect works on all devices, Android to android, Linux to Windows and all combinations.

So no need to use something like a bad copy from Microsoft.

@kde @ulfi About the only thing missing from KDE Connect so far is support for file and screen sharing between Android and Windows. But that's mostly a software issue.
