Windows 10: Error when trying to access Android files

When connecting my android phone, I always get "The specified path does not exist" error when trying to access the files.What's even weirder is, that I'm able to access the files via the left panel.

But only with the left panel - When I click on a folder in the center panel, I get the error again.I have also found out, that I'm able to access the files normally when opening with 3rd party file explorers or with the "Open file" option in applicationsTL;DR: I get an error when accessing my android files in the Windows explorer.

Getting Access Denied Error When Trying To Rename A File.

Hi Denise,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

To have better clarity on the issue, answer the below-listed questions and get back to us.

1. Since when are you facing this issue?
2. Were there any changes made to the computer prior to this issue?
3. Do you get this error when modifying all the files and folders or a particular file or folder?

Meanwhile, try the below methods and see if this helps.

Method 1: Take The Ownership Of The File/Folder.

I suggest you to follow the section Issue 1: I receive an "Access Denied" error message when I try to access or work with files and folders from

"Access Denied" or other errors when you access or work with files and folders in Windows,
restart the computer once after following the steps, and check for the issue.

Method 2: Turn Off User Account Control.

Note: User Account Control (UAC) is feature that helps prevent malicious programs, also known as 'malware', from damaging a system. UAC stops the automatic installation of unauthorized applications. UAC also prevents unintended changes to
system settings. If you have to disable this feature or option for any troubleshooting reason, then please enable it as soon as the troubleshooting is done. A security risk may result by using administrative credentials to run an unknown program. Only run
programs that you trust as an administrator.

Step 1: Press the Windows key and the
R key from your keyboard and type Control and hit
Enter.

Step 2: Select Small icons from the View by category and click on
User Accounts > Change User Account Control Settings.

Step 3: Then, change it to Never notify by sliding down the slider,
restart the computer once after making the above changes, and check for the issue.

Give it a shot and let us know of any changes.

Now getting FTP proxy warning error when trying to access Android

I have a network location shortcut which directs to my Android mobile phone using FTP. I used to be able to start the FTP server on my phone and then click on that shortcut to access the file system on my phone. Now when I click on this shortcut I get an error about an incorrectly configured FTP proxy. This started happening after a recent Windows update but I don't know for sure that this is the cause.

I've tried this with the ES File Explorer app (now uninstalled because I read it's become sketchy) and the Amaze file explorer app. The error appears regardless whether the FTP server is even started on the phone. Clicking OK opens the MS App store for FTP programs but I just wanted to use Windows File Explorer to browse the folders like I used to.

Does anyone know how I can fix this or get around it using an entirely different approach to access files on an Android device over the local network?
