New discovery...
If you connect the Pinephone to a Windows box via USB, you will get an alert to turn off USB debugging. If you tap on the alert, the developer options are presented. You can then turn off USB debugging.
I found that by doing this Windows will find the phone and ask what you want to do with the device. When prompted I chose to view files. Of course nothing was there, but the Pinephone is displayed as an icon under the system in the file explorer but clicking on the properties you see the battery status of the Pinephone. ;-)
So what I found is that on the Pinephone, you can go into Settings->Connected Devices->USB and select the file transfer radio button. From there, windows will bring up an explorer window with all the available folders on the Pinephone. So copy your photos, music, whatever...
Yes more things to play with. Have fun!
