I love KDE apps as well - especially KDE Connect[1]. Before I had problems with it lagging, but it works great now. I use it daily to control my media center which also runs KDE Plasma.

To me KDE Connect performed with full of bugs, to the extent that I just rage quit it.

Warpinator from Linux Mint team is a lot better for simple file sharing.

If all you want is "send and receive files across a local network" then I can recommend Magic Wormhole and Magic Wormhole William (depending on which app store you use; e.g. Google Play Store, F-Droid, Homebrew, Debian/Ubuntu APT repos, etc). It will attempt to use LAN if it can and uses PAKE for auth.

I'm using primarily the "remote" aspects of it, so not surprised to hear that.
