Magnetic charger won't connect to computer?

[MarcoPolo]

Recently bought a magnetic charger kit where you plug the magnetic bit into the phone and the usb has a comparable magnetic end to go with it. But I noticed with this method, you can't access the phone with Android File Transfer.

Is there a workaround? Or do I have to remove the magnetic bit and plug in the old-fashioned way every time I want to use AFT?
