In many Android mobiles you can find them in the System section, while in other devices, such as Xiaomi, it will be in Additional Settings, so the most comfortable thing is to search for it in the upper search bar.

Whenever you connect your mobile to the computer via USB cable, a series of options appear on the mobile such as enable file transfer, share internet via USB or transfer photos. And you can set any of these options as default.

To do this, all you have to do is scroll down to the Default USB Configuration option, and once there, select the one you prefer.
