Disbable "file sharing" when charing with USB cable

berste — Thu, 02 Jun 2016 14:19:52 GMT

Whenever I connect my Xperia Z to a computer I can see all folders and files in both SD card and internal memory- if at work that means network administrators can also se this stuff.

Is there a way to disable that feature ?

I want the phone to only charge while connected to a pc with the USB cable. In USB settings all I got is "MTP = shares everything" and "MSC = Shares SD card not internal memory". Iam missing the option "USB Charge only".

I got Xperia Z running the latest released OS for this phone, 5.1 lollopop.

Hi @berste,

What you can do in order to only charge your phone when you connect it to your computer is to set a screenlock (Settings > Security > Screenlock). As long as you don't unlock your phone then the computer will not be able to read any of the files on your SD-card or your phones internal storage.
