Hi Ben,

No, this is not a feature in the sense that it would have been 
explicitly programmed that way.

Unfortunately I don't have the proper equipment to test it out myself. I 
don't have a physical computer running Windows. On my virtual machine, I 
can see that the qif import dialog shows my all local hard drives and 
all network attached shares, but I can't connect a usb stick to see what 
happens. What version of Windows are you running ? And is this only with 
your smart phone, or with any usb device you connect to your laptop ? 
Does it work for example with an ordinary USB stick ?
