OK, must be the third one.

hmm, interesting, I provide android-file-transfer.desktop as a part of the installation, it should be enough to register in the menu of your favourite WM/DE.

There is mention of the GUI. I had no idea what this was or where to find it. Then entered "android" from the applications menu.

My point is, a few lines on what the GUI is and where to find it would be great. I looked ...

ls -al /usr/share/applications/android-file-transfer*

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 249 Dec 30 2020 /usr/share/applications/android-file-transfer.desktop

cat /usr/share/applications/android-file-transfer.desktop
