KDEConnect on Android 10

After an upgrade to Android 10, KDEConnect features have been impacted. The following issues are workarounds are documented here:

Clipboard share
Sharing the clipboard from Linux > Android works unhindered.
However, Android does not allow KDEConnect to monitor the clipboard.
Work around: selected text can be shared (you may need to copy to a note take, like in the case of WhatsApp) when highlighted. It will be pasted into a new text document on Linux.

File share
Android > Linux: open KDEConnect settings in Linux > Select paired device > Share and Receive > Configure : set path to store received files

Linux > Android: open KDEConnect in Android > Plugin settings > Share and Receive > Configure:
1. Customise destination directory = ticked
2. Press on "Destination Directory", from top right menu select "Show internal storage"
3. From left menu browse to destination folder and select "Allow Access To ..."
