Access Windows files and folders over USB connection

Question

If I need to access a folder in Windows 10 (from another connected device) over a LAN, I would need to be on same network and then turn on 'folder sharing'.

However, I need to access my Windows files and folders through a USB connected device (such as an Android smartphone). Is it possible? If so, do I need to give my Android device any permission or do I need to turn on folder sharing even on a USB connection?

Answer 1

As in my experience, Android usb connection will provide an external storage to the pc(Not the other way round Unless using OTG that explained int Make a computer act as a virtual USB device for other equipments )

Although I think you stock with the XY Problem If i'm right, All you want is a way to access your PC files from Android device, in that case There are the following scenarios:

1. Having WIFI and speed doesn't matter: In this case you can use FTP server and other file sharing services like SMB in Windows
2. Not having WIFI or speed matters: In this case you need to use ADB But it will provide you file access to Android, thus you need an app to monitor on both sides (Android & PC)

The PC version should list it's files on Androids storage, Then Android chooses the file wants and save it to local storage, PC version should monitor and push the data requested from Android. (As I know no app does that May exist)
