Verizon Note 3 can't be seen as a storange device on my laptop topic

Hi so I got a N900V Verizon Note 3 yesterday and when I connected through the USB cable when I got back it was only charging and could not be used as a storage device through My Computer. I installed Kies 3 also (Its 4.4.4 the phone) and it says the device was not compatible with this version of Kies idk why. Please help me? My old S3 i9300 could be accessed as a storage device but now its wont so how would I be able to manage files etc..? Thank you very much I have searched everywhere and haven't had much luck. It is recognized by the PC for sure as in Device Manager its named as SAMSUNG Android Phone and Samsung Android ADB Device or w.e
