Hi @stevenhere,
I actually reached out to the Hexnode support team about a similar workflow last month for our inventory project. They confirmed that as long as the device is properly enrolled and the right restrictions are toggled, ADB remains a very reliable backdoor for file management without needing to touch the tablet’s screen.
You’ll want to double-check your policy first: go to Policies > Android > Restrictions > Basic and ensure the USB file transfer option is enabled. Even in kiosk mode, this allows the underlying Usb debugging bridge to function.
Here is the exact method I’ve been using to move our content:
To Pull Data from the Tablet to your PC:
Use the command: adb pull <source-path> <destination-path>
- Example: adb pull /sdcard/Documents/DailyLogs.csv C:\Office\FieldReports
- Note: If you don’t specify a destination path, the file will just drop into whichever folder your command prompt is currently targeting.
To Push Data from your PC to the Tablet:
Use the command: adb push <source-path> <destination-path>
- Example: adb push C:\Office\Updates\Manual.pdf /sdcard/Download/
This has been a lifesaver for us because it keeps the technicians out of the settings while letting the office team grab what they need.
