How does File Explorer access it?

Can you enter the address into Files?

File Explorer doesn't have MDM access to a connected phone

#

Files displays the exact same UI as that of Explorer; just the folder structure of the emulated storage of the phone

What @ocean chasm is talking about is the features from the Phone Link app integrated into Files directly

#

As in, these kinds of features

With ability for controls such as file system access, and also poweruser settings such as ADB controls

#

Or integrated photos export

@shut birch
I think I already figured it out

#

Someone posted in the UWPC server how to access them

Yep, this is the way I have used them

Pinning could work maybe?

#

Also, first impressions:
It slows down Files as it has to download the photos first

#

but after downloading: it goes back to normal

#

yes it works

I think it should be possible to check the C:\Users\[username]\CrossDevice directory for any existing devices and then add those to the "Network" or "Drive" sections of the sidebar right?

How many devices do users typically have in that folder? Would it be preferable to add devices directly under ‘home’?

Right now Microsoft only allows one connected, the folder gets replaced if you enable another device.
