Have been using it with Zorin 17.2 for about a month. So far, it works extremely well. Note: be careful with the firewall configuration as it can prevent the connection from working.

Latest version break the ability to mount device android 13, permissions denied to access "/", in previous version it's should open dialog to reconfig the sharing folder ( not "/" ) but it didn't. Edit: I downgrade to previous version (1.23.2) and it does fix the network mounting problem.
