Set up steps for MAC: Under System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General tab, if the extensions are blocked please allow the same. Second set up for VM: Under activity monitor check if you see vmware-usbarbitrator services

If not check under System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General tab, if the extensions are blocked please allow the same. Then quit and restart Fusion

Check the behavior with normal storage first and later test with mobile to isolate the issue.

Legend parmarr! That fixed it for me.

You have to have VMware Fusion running when you check the Security & Privacy settings, then the Allow thing will show up.
