Sometimes connecting Android to Windows PC may be troublesome because it will ask me to download drivers and I click yes then it shows download failed…
So I turn to wireless connection since I only need to transfer my phone data to my PC. AirMore is my choice.

Problem is that this method does NOT permit the phone’s internal drive or sd card to be viewed as a drive with a letter. You cannot use cloning software as the destination must be a proper drive and not a device. Is there a way round it?

The problem with my phone is that it is not showing the initial option of file transfer/photo transfer/charging for my PC even in notifications or settings. I am not able to enable the usb tethering option as well as the toggle button for it is not active?

My comment is that I tried the procedure as you prescribed before but it gave me some technical questions which I did not understand e. g What type of network or different other questions…….

Yes, it’s a fail. More exactly/likely, it’s a cable fail, so try to using another one.
If that doesn’t work, you should:
– check the notifications panel on your phone, see if something comes up there
– try using another USB port on your PC
– clean the USB port on your Android phone
– test on another computer
If nothing works, then it’s probably an issue related to the USB port on your device. In which case, you should take it to a repair shop.

I’m trying to connect my phone to pc but no option is being shown in my pc likewise other phones too
All the directions assume that connecting USB cable between phone and PC
WILL/MUST necessarily automatically connect and maybe might ask to install some kind of driver.
But what if connecting the USB cable does not yield any notification on either/both machines?
