Support File Explorer with transfer to PC option for developers
Sometimes it's usefull to explore and tranfer back files generated in app that's running on phone/emulator back to the developer PC, without additional coding.

Thank you for the commentary thus far. We are not adding this capability into the WPSDK 8.0 tooling release, but know that it is on the consideration list for future Windows Phone releases.
As mentioned in the comments, there are a variety of ways of accomplishing access via the included Isolated Storage Explorer and a variety of community tools. Marking this as ‘under review’ to keep it on the tools team radar for improving this experience in the future.

That's already possible by attaching .VHD images of SDK emulator.

I believe the Windows Phone SDK already included a program that dumps the isolated storage of an app: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Tools\IsolatedStorageExplorerTool\ISETool.exe"

Indeed being able to transfer any type data of files between pc and phone should be allowed e.g. I would like to transfer a few Pdf from my pc to my phone

I also need a file explorer, like Nokia's Symbian OS.

Also we need to allow users to transfer files to their on-device application storage via Zune. (iOS allows similar functionality and this is very widely used in the iTunes/iOS world, adding business value to Apple's platform)

try IsoStoreSpy ! With this application you could explore the isolated storage of yours MANGO and NODO applications without install anything on the phone. http://isostorespy.codeplex.com/

I think this would be great for end users, not just devs. End users should be able to explore their local files from within the phone, as well as on an attached desktop computer through Zune or Windows Explorer.

I need functional OS and phone, which will make any my wishlist. I WANT CONTROL MY PHONE! And I Move GO to Android, because Windows Phone 7 OS IS NOT give full freedom for me. People, which development OS WP7 is stupid dev, because NOT understand this idea – IDEA for full control and freedom work with phone. If dev cant understand it simple IDEA – WP7 will be epic fail on market. I threw in the траш box now my HTC HD7… because WP7 is not a modern OS, it back become a thing of the past (at 2005 year or old).

not just for devs, I want to be able to just plug and play kind of as a USB mass storage device and transfer videos _without_ having to convert them
