Connecting phone to laptop

[db]

I have forgotten what I have to do to connect
my ANdroid phone to my laptop (running Kubuntu)
for file transfers one to the other. I connect
them with a USB cable, and Linux says "open", but
I don't get to see the phone's files, just an empty
window.
What do I have to do for a proper connection?

On the phone there will be a notification that asks what to do with the
USB cable. One of the options will be "transfer files". Use it.

My phone uses Android, but I have to turn on share files when I firt
connect it to my Windows laptop. Check your settings.

Thanks for your suggestions, which didn't work. One
way I can move files to the phone is through Dropbox,
which is on the screen. I have Termux and would like
to move a file (an mp3) to the folder called music/
But Termux can't find Dropbox/. Strange file
structure in Android, not like Linux.
