In - depth Explanation of the Little - known Self - developed Application - Cross - device Collaboration in Deepin V23 RC Version

Deepin V23 RC version comes pre - installed with a rather little - known self - developed application - Cross - device Collaboration. For many users, this application may not have attracted much attention when it first debuted. However, its functions are highly practical in specific scenarios.

I. First Impression of the Application

When opening the Cross - device Collaboration software for the first time, in addition to the main software window, a user help window will also pop up. Interestingly, the design style of this help window has been jokingly described by some users as having a "fruity flavor". From the main interface, we can clearly understand the main functions of the software:

Keyboard and Mouse Sharing: Allows the use of the keyboard and mouse of the initiating party to control another device. In scenarios such as multi - device collaborative office, this can greatly improve operational efficiency and reduce the trouble of switching input devices between different devices.

Clipboard Sharing: Enables the content copied on one device's clipboard to be conveniently pasted onto another device, facilitating the rapid transfer of text and other content between different devices.

File Delivery: After two devices are successfully connected, files can be easily sent to the other device, providing a convenient way for file transfer between devices within a local area network. If users want to understand the specific usage methods in depth, they can click "View Help Manual" for detailed guidance.

II. Discussion on the Application's Applicable Scenarios

This application may seem "little - known" to single - device users. However, in some specific scenarios, it actually has rigid requirements:

Office Scenarios within a Local Area Network: In an office environment, there is a frequent need for file transfer between devices within a local area network. Cross - device Collaboration provides a convenient file transfer method, which can quickly share materials, documents, etc. between different computer devices, improving office efficiency.

File Transfer between Mobile Phones and Computers: Although the current Cross - device Collaboration software itself does not seem to be able to directly connect to mobile phones for file transfer (users have reported that methods such as SMB can be used to achieve file transfer between mobile phones and computers). However, in theory, if it can be achieved, operations such as teachers transferring courseware from their mobile phones to their computers or transferring music from a computer to a mobile phone will become more seamless, meeting common needs in daily work and life.

III. Cross - system Usage and Problem - solving

If you want to achieve cross - device collaboration between Deepin and Windows systems, you need to install the corresponding Cross - device Collaboration software on the Windows side. The download address is: https://www.chinauos.com/resource/assistant. Some users have encountered connection problems during use. For example, some users reported that when using Windows 11 to connect to Deepin V23, Deepin shows a connection request. After clicking "Agree", Windows shows that the other party did not respond to the connection request, while the Deepin side shows that it is connected. After investigation, it was finally found that due to the existence of multiple virtual graphics cards on the Windows side, the Cross - device Collaboration application selected the wrong IP address, resulting in an exception. This also reminds users that if they encounter similar connection problems during use, they can troubleshoot from aspects such as IP address selection and other network settings. Overall, the Cross - device Collaboration application has certain potential in function realization. Although there are currently some minor problems and functional limitations, with continuous optimization and improvement, it is expected to play a greater role in the field of cross - device collaborative operations and bring more convenient multi - device interaction experiences to users.

It would be great if this cross - device collaboration application could support the clipboard synchronization between the mobile and PC ends.
