With Zorin Connect, you can pair your smartphone with a Zorin OS PC to quickly send photos and other files from your smartphone.
This way, you don’t have to attach them to an email.

1. Install the app on your smartphone

First, install “Zorin Connect” from Google Play on Android, or “KDE Connect” on iPhone.

When sending a photo from the smartphone, you’ll hear a “whoosh” sound, and the photo will be sent to Zorin OS immediately.

You can also control the mouse using your iPhone.
Although the Zorin OS screen isn’t displayed on the iPhone, touching the iPhone screen with your finger moves the mouse cursor.
