I am using the following code to enable the user to chose a folder:

from tkinter import Tk
from tkinter.filedialog import askdirectory
path = askdirectory(title='Select Folder') # shows dialog box and return the path
print(path)

However, the 'Browse' window does not display the Android phone connected via USB, although I can see it via windows explorer.

How can this be enabled?

    USB are different from ordinary directory and I don't think there is an built in tkinter option for you. I guess you need to query the serial port or **u**niversal **s**erial **b**us with a 3rd party modul. – Thingamabobs Sep 18 '22 at 19:42

    What you could at least try is to set the initial directory to the USB and see if it works. – Thingamabobs Sep 18 '22 at 20:11
  • Strange why windows explorer can but python browse window cannot.... – gtomer Sep 19 '22 at 06:51
