Selected transfer files & was able to see the stuff on both tablets. However, the tray still had the M5 greyed out & the Asus does not show. Don't know if it affects xfer of data.

One thing I forgot is that with Android 6, we have to get into the developer's option & toggle the usb for the the device's usb port be able to transfer files; I did this with the Mars 'automatically'. Now I wonder if I need to do the same on my M5 & Asus which are on Android 7.1 & Android 8, respectfully. The developer usb setting had "mtp" so the toggle is from mtp to charge & back to mtp.
I'm not sure I understand. To "get into the developer's option" - does the Mimas have to be rooted to access that?

On my Android phone I just select file transfer in the notification area, and with my old Boyue it just happened automatically.

I was thinking of going out and buying another USB-C to USB cable to try, but it's unusually frigid outside here, so if it's not going to work no matter what, I'd rather just stay home.

I got my hopes up after reading this post - https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...&postcount=107

I wonder if it's worthwhile for me to drive over to Best Buy and purchase another cable?

I can't believe how frustrating this is.

Thank you for your help!
