Hi Arhanti Doshi,
Welcome to the Microsoft Q&A Platform! Thank you for asking your question here.

Based up on your query, please try to install Android SDK Platform Tools, first, download them from the official android website or else you can follow the below document
https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platform-tools

After above installation please setup the environment variable for location path as per below instruction
Right-click on "This PC" or "Computer" and select "Properties."

Click on "Advanced system settings."

In the System Properties window, click on "Environment Variables."

Under "System variables," find the "Path" variable, select it, and click "Edit."

Add the path to the platform-tools directory (exampleC:\Users<YourUsername>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\platform-tools)

And to verify this tool installed or not, please check with this command adb --version
Finally, use adb devices to see a list of connected devices, including any emulators you have set up

Hi Arhanti Doshi,
Thanks for replying back to us
Let clarify the things, I just wanted to confirm that you don’t need to install Android Studio to connect to cloud-based Android devices. Instead, you can simply download the Android SDK Platform Tools from the official website. This will allow you to list out the connected devices, as it’s necessary for communication. Without these tools, it not possible might be to interact with the devices

This way, you can manage Android devices without the full Android Studio setup. If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask!
