I'm kind of new at CMD so please go easy on me. I am trying to copy files from my mobile phone via robocopy in CMD as the regular copy/paste doesn't support some of the features of robocopy I'd like to use. Anyway, the problem is that upon inspecting the path to the phone in file explorer I get THIS PC/[Name of phone]. Robocopy does not recognize anything under THIS PC as a valid path. How do I get the real path of the phone through CMD?

THIS PC is not the actual path, it's just a Windows thing. If Windows has mounted your PC as a drive, you can use the path (i.e.
F:\your\path
).However, if your phone is connecting via MTP, it will be much more difficult. The short answer is that you can't.
How do I access MTP devices on the command line in Windows?
