Isn't this already supported using PTP since basically forever?
I've been copying files to/from my phone for years. In recent Android versions you need to explicitly set the "USB mode" for security reasons, but if you do it works.
Sure it's wired but how is that the problem?

- martijnvds 2y agoI read it, but I don't get why it's needed, because everyone has USB cables to charge the device anyway, that can be used to attach it to a computer.
- kevincox 2y agoBecause if I'm sitting at my computer working and realize that I want a file from my phone it is much easier to just open Windows Explorer than 1. Find my phone 2. Maybe need to find a cable 3. Plug in phone and cable.
