I just wanted to connect my Galaxy S4 to my PC and transfer some files (I don't have TC for my Android). I plugged in the data cable to the phone and PC and opened up TC 8.51 but I did not see the phone's internal SD card or the internal file system.
I did have a window popup in Win7 and I can see the phone. The phone has Android 5.0.1 OS and the Kernel ver is 3.4.0 and the date is Mar 11, 2015.
What am I missing? I am almost lost trying to use the Win7 provided file manager tools and wanted to see why my TC does not see my phone.
My old Samsung Infuse would ask me a question about KIES when I plugged in a data cable but this new Samsung Galaxy S4 does not do anything when I plug in the cable.

Nevermind. I think I solved it myself. I use VPN to connect occasionally to my work network and had mapped several drives to the network plus I have several internal drives (SSD, HDD(4), DVD(2)) and I was running out of drive letters (I think).
Normally I have the drive letters displayed as icons and I just click on them to change the focus to that drive and the phone was not showing up.
The solution was to use the drop down and select the computer (drive overview) and then I could see my phone name listed and can open its directory structure, but I had to connect it a couple of times to get TC to read the phone file contents.
In any case I think I have it solved. Sorry for the newbie post.

There is also the possibility to use the ADB Plugin for File Transfers.

It requires a little setup, but you get a better access to the file system (like seeing directories that start with a dot, etc.)
