Viewing files on a device connected through ActiveSync

[Macthknife]

I downloaded and installed XYplorer last night. I had mp3 files on a USB drive, on an mp3 player connected via USB and on my smartphone via ActiveSync/USB all connected to my computer running Vista. XYplorer detected the USB drive and the mp3 player, but didn't show my mobile device. I had to use file management through the mobile device tools on ActiveSync which is what I was hoping to avoid. Shouldn't I have been able to view and manipulate these files using XYplorer on my mobile device?

Hello and welcome to XYplorer forums!

In your situation, it is understandable why you were left a bit puzzled by your mobile device not showing. Don, who develops XY and is admin on these forums, stated that:

XY does not support any non-drive devices

This means that unless a device gets a drive letter, and in your case your mobile device did not, you will not see it in XYplorer's tree and will not be able to manage folders and files on it.

Here are links to other threads where this issue has been brought up for more information on the matter:
