Requirements
adb (android debug bridge) must be installed on your PC. It resides on the android SDK (platform-tools).
adb server needs to be started beforehand. command: adb start-server
You need at least one android device(s) connected to your PC.
usually via USB cable.
over wifi is also possible but need to follow some adb instructions (please see documents of adb).
target devices must have developer mode turned on, and also USB debugging enabled.
Extension Settings
Sdcard Folder Only Mode setting (default: true)
If this flag is set, adbfs shows files inside '/sdcard' folder only. Usually good for android smartphones but inaccessible to folders outside '/sdcard'
Even if this flag is true, it falls back to all-file mode if no /sdcard exists on the device.
