How to access files and folders for uwp app on a mobile device

How can app files be accessed for uwp apps on a mobile device. This tutorial, https://blogs.windows.com/buildingapps/2016/06/08/using-the-app-file-explorer-to-see-your-app-data/, explains using App File explorer. I follow the steps, enabling device portal and device discovery. With the IP address of the phone I can't connect to the phone from Google Chrome because of security. Microsoft edge allows me to connect with the pin after a warning about the security certificate but the phone does not show a new pairing , and the device portal only has a few of the options from the tutorial, not File Explorer (https://i.sstatic.net/st5Sb.jpg).

Connecting by usb does not show app folders (https://i.sstatic.net/tqI9C.jpg)

Thank you.

Please check your Mobile OS version and upgrade to the latest RTM

And you can also use Device Portal core REST API

For example:

Get known folders - Obtain a list of accessible top-level folders.

Method | Request URI
-------|------------
GET    | /api/filesystem/apps/knownfolders

I upgraded and can now access File explorer with Edge. But not by usb, is that normal?

Please follow this guidance to Set up device portal on Windows Phone
