Step #1: User plugs in USB cable, and external storage becomes a
Windows drive letter

That is one step. That is as simple as it is going to get. Anything
else will require:

-- installing software on the device
-- installing software on the PC
-- configuring one or both pieces of software
-- possible configuring other software (e.g., antivirus to allow the
PC to open a port)
-- possible other hardware setup (e.g., installing a wireless access
point, installing a Bluetooth receiver)
-- possible per-usage configuration (e.g., passwords, switching device
WiFi on, setting up IP addresses if they change)

Please note that this list is not Android-specific.
