Photo transfer

[dogs and cats]

I am trying to move photos on my laptop to the phone. When I plug my phone into the laptop via usb I can see the phone in file manager (windows) but it only list the phone it will not open the phone. In the past with my samsung when I plugged my phone in it would ask for permission, this does not happen with the Pixel. So I can not see what is on the phone nor can I move stuff to the phone.

After connecting via USB, swipe down the notification panel and look for a USB notification. Tap that, and see if it gives you the option to connect for file transfer.
