Tutorial: Mounting smartphone sdcard & external sdcard onto Windows over Wi-Fi as a driver letter using only a free, ad-free Android WebDAV server
Posted out of the goodness of my heart to help others mount their
smartphone internal and external storage more easily than it took me.

So... why did you crosspost this into the alt.comp.freeware newsgroup?

I think he did that because it uses freeware.
He even said it in the title.
And in the body too.
How did you miss all the freeware?

The "comp" in alt.comp.freeware refers to computer, not smart phone.

The link above, even though it was bracketed, was broken for me. I'm
just wondering why?

See recent webDAV threads here or in c.m.android.
Mount the phone as network storage
Use an Android FTP app, i.e. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.medhaapps.wififtpserver.pro
See <https://www.guidingtech.com/use-ftp-server-file-transfer-android/>

I have been using this for quite a while, but what I am looking for is the >> ability to mount the storage on the Android device to the Windows file

In other words, I want to be able to see my phone in a File Explorer
window, right-click on it, and wander around my Android storage as if it
was directly connected to my PC
That works best, when someone wants you to have that flavor of access.

I think the ChromeOS I installed using Neverware,
had more partitions than that. I wasn't particularly
interested in any of the content, except to note that
there seemed to be an awful lot of partitions on
the disk when I looked later.
One reason for slicing it up like that, is to make
some parts harder to get at, than others.

How can I make my Android phone appear as a device in Windows File Explorer without having a USB connection to my PC, aka over Wi-Fi?

without a USB connection?
all the work I put into responding there, I'll just paste what I wrote
there to help him out, and, I'll add them to this thread.
Note that this uses Windows freeware, in addition to Android freeware.

I would like to be purposefully helpful to answer your question.
Given there are _many_ potential solutions, there probably isn't enough information in your one sentence to steer you toward the best solution.
Yet, to keep being purposefully helpful, I would suggest at first the most _common_ Wi-Fi solution, which works especially well with some phones.
*Together is better with Microsoft and Samsung* <https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/sync-across-your-devices?r=1>
*How to use Microsoft Your Phone Companion on your Galaxy smartphone* <https://insights.samsung.com/2022/03/07/how-to-use-microsoft-your-phone-companion-on-your-galaxy-smartphone-3/>
*Set up Link to Windows with your Samsung Galaxy phone* <https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00083910/>
*Samsung Galaxy Phones and Link to Windows* *https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00087844/*
That works especially well with Samsung because the app is native on
Samsung phones, but you can also download the app onto other brands.
Windows software:
*Introducing Microsoft Phone Link* <https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/phone-link>
Android software:
*Link to Windows* <https://play.google.com/store/search?q=link%20to%20windows&c=apps>
Note Microsoft keeps changing the name of the app on Windows.
In summary, if your phone is a Samsung, then the Android software is
already on there, but even if it's not, it "should" work on most phones.
To be clear, there are _many_ solutions. I don't use the solution above,
for example, but _most_ people will be using that Microsoft Wi-Fi setup.
