Issue Connecting via USB to Windows
Hello. Since upgrading to Marshmallow I have not been able to successfully connect my phone to a windows computer and have it recognized as a storage device. Instead it shows up purely as a media device and I can no longer access any of the folders as I used to. I have tried different computers and cables, but to no avail. Also the old MTP settings seem to be gone as well, so I am at a loss as to how to tackle this. I have also tried uninstalling the Nexus 6 driver in windows as well so it would reinstall, made no difference.
When plugging it in via USB my options are, sync with media player, open with files explorer (what I used to select to move files) and a couple other options that are not related to what I need. I have tried the syncing with media player, but that does not work for what I am trying to do either.
I apologize is there is something silly I missed, but I have been unable to find any helpful posts or pages thus far for this.
Edit: I figured it out, had no clue they moved the USB options to a notification when it is plugged in. Sorry for the thread, please close or delete.
