   @stroughtonsmith @WarnerCrocker @doctorlaura Probably a stupid question because I expect a common sense yes.

   If I attach my Android phone to the SE via cable, will the SE recognize it as a mass storage device, like a Windows computer does, to transfer photos that way?

   If not, WTF not?

     @mikecane @stroughtonsmith @doctorlaura For the same reasons it doesn’t work the other way either

     @mikecane @stroughtonsmith @doctorlaura I’m not sure on this, but I’m guessing the different cable standards might be part of the issue. USBC to USBC might work (I haven’t tried that in awhile) but I’m not sure about microUSB and Lightning.

     @stroughtonsmith @WarnerCrocker @doctorlaura I don't think I have a Lightning to microUSB cable and don't want to buy one until I know. If such a cable even exists!

     @mikecane @WarnerCrocker @doctorlaura it should work? It’s just a mass storage device, which iOS supports

     @mikecane @stroughtonsmith @doctorlaura I know the cables exist, just not sure how the transfers like you’re trying to do work with them.

     @mikecane @stroughtonsmith @doctorlaura It’s like trying to buy dope on a street corner. You never know if you’ll get what you buy or something that will kill you.
