Yes, I have enabled file transfer mode, with my file manager I can access the files,
MyPhoneExplore instead does not recognize Mi8 with USB connection, while it works with Bluetooth

Will MyPhoneExplorer need goolag services ?

thanks @harvey186, but I do not know what are goolag services, I know that with Huawei I have to enable USB Debug, maybe I should find something similar in Xiaomi Mi8?

for what do you need this phone explorer ??
files you can transfer via PC file explorer.
calender, contacs, pictures, and so on are synced via edrive.
Backup you can do via TWRP.

What are you missing ??
