KDE Connect: An app for iOS, android, pretty much every flavor of linux, windows, etc. that lets you connect any devices together to share files, show notifications of other devices, use your phone as an input device(keyboard, mouse), control multimedia applications(start, play, stop, etc.), trigger commands, and everything else if you make a plugin for it.

I wish I could send a whole folder of files at once with this, mine seems to only work one file at a time.

You can also share access to your phones entire filesystem with kde connect, so you can browse you phones storage from dolphin as if ot was connected through usb and copy entire folders to/from you phone.

Unfortunately I think my phone's USB is only good for charging these days, but it's a pixel 6A so it's on the way out anyways. I'll have to take a look at that I didn't see it, thanks!

On the 3 dots menu, theres "configure plugins" (or smthing like that), then you have to enable something like "expose filesystem" (dont know the exact wording because mine is not in english).
