I've still got my Gogle Nexu 7 2013 running Android 6.1. I tried hooking it
up to my Win 11 laptop to move some files but it never appeared. It's been
so long ago I don't even remember if that is possible. Help!

Possible? Almost a certainty. I've been transferring files back and forth
since I had my Nexus S back in the dark ages. Right now I can't remember
the methods I've used over the years. Lately it has just been "tell the
phone to allow data transfer" and it just automagically appears in File
Explorer as a drive but I can't remember if it has always been that way.

If nobody else comes up with a good answer I'll try to dig up some old
phones from the archives (can't guarantee to Android 6.1 though) and see
what I can figure out.

It happens all the time for me. Maybe once every six months or so.

Each time it could be something different, from a bad cable, to the driver
just screws up (don't ask me why or how that happens).

First I change the cable.
Then I reload the driver.
Sometimes I just reboot the PC (because the USB gets confused).

Each manufacturer has their own Android driver for Windows, but there's
also a generic driver you can get from the Google web site.

I remember downloading all the drivers from the Android Studio site.
They have them there because having the correct drivers is critical for
loading and running software over Android studio & adb.

Rarely you'll need to debug the PC USB situation, which can be done with

Another option is to mount the Android phone onto Windows over Wi-Fi.
It can be "networked" as a network drive or "mounted" as a drive letter.

No driver needed (as far as I know) as no cables are involved.
You can even use adb to connect to the phone for drag & drop with scrcpy.

There are many (many!) other choices if you have troubles with USB.
All of which were covered in detail many times in the c.m.a. archives.
