Telegram's "Saved messages" is another.

Only if you trust telegram (you shouldn't)

Without context this is just noise.

Also when you say: don't trust Telegram, while not saying anything about WhatsApp, you are, on average, pushing people from a solution that isn't proven to be trustworthy to a solution that is proven to be untrustworthy.

Because unless you simultaneously point out that WhatsApp is worse, that is where people will go if they listen to you and avoid Telegram.

It'll work but that will upload your files to the cloud. If you're on cable internet or even DSL, transferring video files that way will take significantly longer than just using the local connection KDE Connect provides.

Of course, there are many local alternatives as well. I just can't see cloud upload features as an alternative to a local network transfer mechanism.

This ruins your images or videos via terrible recompression that you can't disable.
