Known solutions:
* USB Mass Storage (sadly, mostly deprecated on Android 4, 5, etc.).
* MTP, and I know its benefits (a lot) and its weaknesses (browsing on a MTP drive with Windows Explorer has poor integration of usual features: try to right click on a file on a MTP drive, you don't have the usual UI things like Open with etc.)
* Samba
* FTP server solutions (good solution, but 1) how to use this if I'm on the road, with no Wifi router like at home? then I cannot link
computer phone
? 2) it seems that [such an app](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver.pro) doesn't offer access to external sd card)
* AirDroid, etc.
But with all these methods, **you don't really have access on your computer to the phone's filesystem like if it was a local folder**.
Question:
**Is there a solution that makes it possible to browse the phone's filesystem as if it was a computer local folder, easily?**
