Only in Core and Education but JeffK969 has done a (copied?) guide how to get something similar?

It would be great if ZorinOS gives some 'five' to LITE version,

Zorin connect is based off gconnect which is a Gnome-Shell Extension, which is why it is only available on Gnome Desktop.
But all is not lost, as Swarfendor pinted out:
It also is based off kde-connect which can and does work on XFCE Desktop. You can install kde-connect and have a similar experience and Zorin Connect android app will 'talk' to kde-connect.

It was a very easy thing...

I let instruction for installation.
1- Open TERMINAL (CTRL + ALT + T)
type: sudo apt install kdeconnect
You'll be prompted for password
2- that's it

Install Zorin connect on Android

Pair the devices and... that's all.

Good Luck!
