Touch screen is broken - how to retrieve files off of Nexus 4?

[AC Question]

The touch screen on my Nexus 4 is broken, how can I retrieve the files off?

I tried with an OTG cable but the mouse isn't recognized for some reason, I guess it could be because the phone needs to be rooted, so this method won't work.

I downloaded some software onto my PC to extract the files off of the phone but it couldn't access the phone's drive because USB connection needs to be enabled, which obviously I can't do because the touch screen is broken.

Really need help on this one guys!!

Thanks
