Android phone files

[raananb]

When my Android phone is connected to my Windows 8.1 computer, a folder is displayed with the phone model name.

The folder can be opened to display the underlying structure of the phone. Copy/Paste of files does not work. Files can then be opened in an application, but prior to that, Windows copies the file(s) to a Windows-generated folder:

C:\Users\raana_000\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\IE\......

The phone is not recognized as a USB device, but uses a different protocol, making it impossible to use standard routines & most current applications.

XYPlorer does not currently show the phone folder. It should at least display the connected phone.

Androids use the MTP protocol, which is currently unsupported by XY. But Don is working on it : http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=7926
it's listed on the roadmap (Suppor for Non-Drive Devices ): http://www.xyplorer.com/xyfc/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=830

Thanks, I'll wait.

For me, I'm quite satisfied using AirDroid because I don't have to connect via cord and can leave phone across the room.
