Assigning drive letter to ASUS tablet

[AC Question]

Hello!

I have the awesome Asus tablet, exact model is ME173X

I have been struggling for HOURS on this, so I hope people check and respond to problems often. Please

I deleted a file I needed by accident from my tablet. I have been struggling on GooglePlay store to find a good one to recover the file. When I gave up on that, I installed a file recovery program on my PC. However, when I hook up my tablet with USB, I can't access it as a drive letter.

I did more research and found out I have to enable developer tools, which I did, and it shows up as a device, not a drive letter.

I disparately need that file. And quickly! How do I get my tablet to show up as a drive letter so my file recovery programs on the PC will access it? OR, what is a great file recovery program for this tablet, trial free versions. I don't want to buy software and have it still not work.

PLEASE.

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but mist often once something is deleted on Android, its gone. True, there are recovery apps like you described, but as I understand, they need to be installed before anything happens. And I think many require root access.
