Just use the Windows Phone Power Tools integrated file browser.

Also, you can use built-in tool ISETool.exe (only command line):

Is there a way to browse the file system of Windows Phone 8 running in the emulator, preferably while the emulator is running?

It would make debugging much easier if I could access the application local storage and its other private folders while the application is running: check the files that are present, modify them, add new ones etc. On more than one occasion this proved useful to me with Windows Store apps for Windows 8.

While the WP Power Tools seems to be for XAML only apps, the newer version of this tool works perfectly on WinPhone 8.1 apps (msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/dn629254.aspx‌)

Is it possible to use ISETool to browse any folder besides a specific app's? For instance, I'd like to upload a .html file and open it with the phone's browser.
