Configuring my cell phone as a drive

I would like to store some files in an encrypted file on my cell phone and configure an option to direct the app to my cell phone, so when I click on the "save" option, in addition to C: and D: etc there will be an option that says Pixel7a: I would want this to be seamless, no additional steps needed. Can this be done? I use my phone as a backup source for some data, as well as a thumb drive, etc.

  • To have encrypted storage, create an encrypted container (like a VaraCrypt volume) on your PC, then transfer it to your phone. Use an app like VaraCrypt (or Earyptfs, Cryptomator) on your phone if supported. Mount the encrypted container on your phone, then access it via a file manager.
