Not able to connect Nexus 5 to PC : Solved

Yes, this is the post which will get you working on this problem. Even I was working on this problem few hours trying to find out solutions for it but none actually helped me but then I got it working.

In my case the problem was Android USB drivers. Basically, you don't have to install any drivers for getting it to work but if you are a developer then this might be the case. Though I am not exactly an android developer but sometime you want to try lot of things and mess up other things.


So, in my case I installed these Acer ADB drivers which is basically used for debugging your application on real android devices than testing it on drivers. This was the reason my PC was not able to show storage.

Solution :

Uninstall the Acer ADB drivers. Since, I didn't needed them it was okay for me to uninstall it.
How to do that ?
Open your explorer -> right click on "This PC" -> click on "manage" -> look for acer adb drivers and right click on it -> uninstall and check the checkbox i.e. remove it from disk.





Now try to connect your  Nexus 5 and it should work just fine.
----

There are other reasons which I came across due to which this problem might appear.

1. If you are not using the original cable that came with the phone then this might happen.
2. If the setting for using the device as Media Device (MTP) is not selected. For enabling that follow below steps :
       - Connect your Nexus 5 to PC
       - Go to settings select storage
       - Touch on Three dots at the top right corner and select USB computer connection
       - Select Media device.

Now you should be able to access your storage on your PC.

Please let me know if you find any new problems and if I can include that in this to help everyone.
