Get list of files programmatically of android device on Windows 10

Below is the image of how the android device automatically mounts on windows 10 (named: remdiz) Actual Device: Redmi Note 5 Pro

Device Mount 1: https://i.sstatic.net/uOnI4.png

I am not able to get the list of files inside any given folder inside it because I see the path of it as This PC\redmiz\disk\Music which is not accessible in powershell, command prompt or even python.

enter image description here

All I need is to list the files inside Music as I have a same copy on my local and I want to find the difference Accepted answer can be a batch file, windows command, powershell command, python script, command using git bash etc or any process that will give me a real path of the device named redmiz

Solution

  • MTP doesnt allow this on Windows. Found a tool named MTPDrive. It was a little buggy, but helped by mounting the internal storage and external storage of Android as mapped drive leading to now limitless possibilites for my use case
