minutes to complete.

the data stored in your phone memory or the memory card installed in your phone.
Then you can manage or transfer the files to your computer.
If everything above is checked and the connection still fails (i.e.the folder is still not
seen or nothing happens) after a few tries (plug and unplug), please check the
Settings > Developer options > USB debugging option. And try to connect your
phone with the computer again. If it is successful, please uncheck the USB
debugging option.
