But what you can do with Android:

1) Create a Windows share on the host PC

2) Use Cx File Explorer
(<https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cxinventor.file.explorer>)
to connect to that share FROM Android TO the PC

3) Copy the files as you like.

Or if you want to backup/copy files from/to Android on a regular basis
for backup etc.:

1) Create a Windows share on the host PC

2) Use FolderSync (<https://play.google.com/store/search?q=FolderSync>)
and create a "folder pair" where one folder is the share on the PC

3) Create a sync/copy job to transfer complete folder contents from or
to Android or sync them.
