Did your daughter use to own an iPhone? I ask, because cabling your android to any computer is virtually unheard of, but its an old Apple requirement. Even if you do cable it, it often ends up being an MTP connection only.
Why then have I always used a cable? And my attempts to use anything else have always been a bit of a disaster ...
Any of a half dozen file managers (most free from the app store) can allow this access via wifi, using ssh, sftp, samba, as well as Google drive, dropbox one drive Yandex, owncloud etc. Enough to access just about any computer local or remote.
Cloud storage :-( NO THANKS! I was shocked (and upset) to discover that Google had uploaded (and deleted from local storage!!!) all the photos on my phone! Oh - and it's pretty clear that when I downloaded them back from Google Photos, they had been modified!!! One thing I do NOT do with my photos is modify the originals!!! Solid Explorer sounded great ... until I took a look :-( What I want is easy file transfer - and having to do it all on a small touchscreen sounds like a nightmare. I like my connections to be bi-directional, and when downloading from my phone I always work with a big screen and a keyboard and mouse.
