On my rather quirky Android Leagoo phone, I have to open the settings
and then find (i.e., search for) USB Preferences and set "File Transfers"
on. Then a USB charging cable will work to show a "drive". I use Double
Commander or mc (mc is run in a terminal).
Double commander can be installed with
sudo apt install doublecmd-qt
mc with
sudo apt install mc

I run MInt 20. Is there a way to download camera photos? I looked at

Unless there's something new to support since then or there's something
particular to Mint that's broken, it should just work if you install one
of the packages named similarly to these:
- gphoto2
- gvfs-gphoto2
- gvfs-mtp
You should be able to just start gphoto2. I don't see a .desktop file in
my distro, so it may not have an entry in whatever menu you're using
either. If you installed one of the gvfs packages, your file browser
should just pick things up automatically unless your distro does
something different. Instead of figuring out how to kill your file
browser and any gvfs user-daemons over email, I'd just log out and back
in.
That said, I haven't used these in a few years, so the answer above may
not be perfect.

The kernel itself doesn't since it doesn't convert PTP or MTP USB
endpoints as block devices or filesystems, but if you run a desktop
environment as I suspect you do, the already installed gvfs-mtp or
gvfs-gphoto2 do make a FUSE filesystem.
