My note 4's screen is destroyed. Cant be fixed because it has a lock. The thing is I have a ton of photos and memories saved on system storage.

How can I connect android to computer and control it from there?

Is there any software for that? I've seen people do it.

Thank you- Kenny

Depends on the device, not necessarily operating system. Most mobile devices are recognized as camera devices to a personal computer, so download whatever drivers you may need from Samsung and connect it to a PC via USB, and the devices internal storage will be presented as if it were a camera or flash drive. The unfortunate part of the matter is that you may have to unlock the device from the device itself, which will be problematic if the screen is entirely useless. Also, are you sure those people you saw "do it" were not just running an Android emulator? I've never seen anyone break in to a broken, unrooted device simply from a personal computer, but I could be wrong.

Yeah it isn't gonna appear in that way. You need to unlock the damn thing! If your touch is ok you might try to unlock by guessing where you are pressing.
