How to use "Total Commander for Android" as a "Wifi File Explorer"?

[ghisler(Author)]

When you connect your phone to the PC, you need to unlock the phone, otherwise Android only connects for charging.
On some phones, you also need to open the notifications and click on the USB notification. If it is set to "Charge only", change it to MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) or to "Transfer files" or similar.

By the way, I checked "Someone replies to a topic to which you are subscribed" in both, notifications and email, and I get notification only.

Total Commander in Windows 10: phone does not appear as a drive, it does not appear at all.

Well, here it does.

Does it appear in your Windows Explorer?

phone connected with USB-cable to the computer:
- it appears in Total Commander in "explorer"-view;
- it shows both, internal and external memory; everything works, even folder Android -> data, which is usually locked;
- then I click the "binoculars"-icon to search for *.mp4, for example, but there are no phone drives in the search-view of the Total Commander; no internal memory, no external memory, no Redmi phone.

It appears as a virtual folder, which is very slow and can't be searched.
You can use one of the plugins "Windows Media Audio 2" or "Android ADB" to get better access.
