Correct. However, some folders are not readable using ADB without root permissions. For example all folders inside /data/data since this is the protected storage of apps. And the most important point: you first have to install ADB on your computer *and* get your device connected, which is not that simple for many people. [...] > Using CxFileExplorer or FTP is a terrible kluge, IMHO, for example. Why? It doesn't need any extra software besides the app itself. Even FTP can be used in Windows without any extra tools - it may not show up as "drive letter" but you can still add the FTP server provided by CxFileExplorer as network location in Windows and just use it. > All those "MyPhoneExplorer" style kluges are ridiculously absurd, I feel. > > Compared to the sheer simplicity of simply mounting Android to Windows as a > drive letter (or to the even simpler use of the Windows file explorer). What is "simple" in using a command which you have to know first compared to a menu in the Windows explorer which to add a network location? How many average Android and Windows users even know what "net use" means if you don't tell them first? -- Arno Welzel https://arnowelzel.de
