We're the wrong list for this :(

Dig up how to switch the phone to ???? mode.  (Maybe MTP?)  Then when you plug 
it into the computer USB it's a harddrive.

The only thing I remember is you have to go open up the developer functions 
(which is specific per phone hardware, so you'll need to search on that too)  
Should read something like, go to xyz menu, tap 7 times on abc.

Maybe try going the other route?  Doubt this will work, but it'll give you the 
idea of what to look for:

https://community.kde.org/KDEConnect

Maybe this instead?

Dig through these, there should be something...
