You should be able to set the phone's default USB mode to "Charge only" in the USB settings or Developer Options.

Hi, @scott0678. You can block USB file access by setting the USB mode to Charge only or No data transfer in your phone's USB preferences. Some Android devices also provide additional USB restrictions in Developer Options. If you share your device model and Android version, we can give more specific steps.

If this solved your issue, please consider marking the discussion as answered—it helps others with the same question. Thanks!

Hi @scott0678,

If you want to prevent your Android phone from allowing USB data access when connected to a computer, you can usually set the USB connection mode to Charge only or No data transfer in your phone’s USB settings.

Some Android devices also provide additional USB restrictions in Developer Options or Security Settings, allowing you to disable USB file transfers entirely while the device is locked.

The exact steps vary by manufacturer and Android version. If you let us know your phone model and Android version, we can provide more specific instructions.

hi @scott0678 ,

1. The Software Route (Developer Options)

Go to Settings > About Phone and tap "Build Number" 7 times to unlock Developer Options.

Go back to your main settings menu, find Developer Options, and scroll down to Default USB configuration.

Change it to Charging only (sometimes labeled as "No data transfer").

2. The Hardware Route (Foolproof)
   If you want to absolutely guarantee that a computer cannot enable a data connection, you can use a charge-only cable (which physically lacks the data transfer pins inside the connector) or pick up a cheap USB data blocker adapter.

Hope this helps! Let me know if you need help finding those settings
