  I'm not Carlos :-), but yes, with MTP (USB mode 'Transferring files /
Android Auto'), one can access /Android/data (and .../media and ./obb).

  So for example Windows' File Explorer gives you access to these
folders. Albeit in Windows, this is only access *via* File Explorer, not
via a drive letter or share, but that is a Windows limitation, not an
MTP one.
