There are several links available which instruct us on 'Accessing a Shared Windows folder using Android'. They all make use of ES File Explorer, using Wi-Fi.

My question is, can we access Windows folders using USB connection [in Transfer Files mode]? More specifically, is the USB connection a two way data-connection? Do Android devices have access to Windows files and folders, just like Windows can access Internal Storage of Android devices, during a USB connection?
