Hi Carlos,
Welcome!

(CC'ing KDE Connect)

Maybe it would be possible to create a notifications dialog ad-hoc for
KDE Connect like many applications have.

Regarding file transfers, I'd recommend opening a bug report,
especially if it's not working on linux, because it should be working.
And if you can investigate a bit how it fails, this will make it much
easier to fix in case there's something that needs changing.
