Hi all,
I just started playing with my Nexus over the last couple of days. Using Astro I made some directories in /storage/sdcard0. When I mount the Nexus onto my Windows 7 laptop I don't see the directories created using Astro. Anyone experience this? If so, any idea how to get everything to appear?
Thanks,
-Gary
Try rebooting the tablet.

Same issue here. In order to see the files I've dropped onto the tablet, I have to use a file explorer. Bummed I can't drop epubs into an eBook folder or drop them into my Google books folder and read them in Google books.
Once I open the file in the file explorer,I can open the file with the kindle app.

I'm trying to create a folder on my N7 to use with MobileNoter. I got an app called Android File Manager and created a folder, but when I connect to my Win7 PC I see all the folders except the one I created. On the PC the folders are under "Nexus>Internal Storage" and in on the N7 AFM they are under "/storage/sdcard0".
Anybody know how to make a new folder on the N7 that I can get to on my PC? I've verified that I have the latest USB driver (mentioned in another thread) and I've rebboted
Thanks in advance for any help.

You're going to have to reboot the tablet or unplug then replug most likely. I had the same issue when managing my nandroids and a tablet reboot fixed them normally.
I believe it's an issue with the MTP protocal truthfully.

I rebooted my Nexus and I now can see the new folder in Windows Explorer (and copy files to it.) Still can't create folders however.
Same problem here. I just drop everything in the downloads folder and then move them around with root explorer

Hi everyone.
So today I was looking at my sd card through a file explorer and I've always seen a folder there called 'LOST.DIR' and it had always been empty until today.
So I was wondering what is that folder for??
and can I delete anything inside that folder? or will it screw up my phone in some way? I have about 11mb there that I could free if I erase that folder.
thanks in advance.
The Lost.dir is used for compatibility with the MacOS. LOST.DIR is a special folder that holds all the corrupted or orphaned files found during a file system check. File system checks are completed during the Android mount process.
thank you.
Can I just remove the folder for I will never use any mac machine with my nexus one?

You can remove it, but it will probably be re-created sooner or later. When that happens just remove it again - it's safe
Do you know any program that can do this? I've tried WiFi File Explorer PRO and Wifi Transfer but they only let me send files individually, but I need something that would work as if my nexus s was connected via USB. Do you know something like that?

Try ES File Explorer.
I use SwiFTP on the phone combined with Filezilla on computer myself.
Do you use dropbox? If its your computer you're transferring to.. most of the time I use that instead of USB. Unless its a ROM.

ESFile explorer can see shares in your LAN and has multiple select, and root. It will batch your copies as well. I transfer all my music to my phone with ES. Faster than usb.
If you need transfer outside your network then Drop box is your choice.

I've downloaded ES but i don't know how to transfer
Click on the LAN tab and then on your network share.
Then long press on the files you want to transfer and select "copy to"

I don't know how to connect with my pc, faqs on the site are offline
I did it with "WebSharing", very good program. It can mount nexus s like it was usb-plugged
No one is reading the title of the post. The OP wants to transfer FOLDERS with files inside, rather than having to rebuild file structure in the device and upload all files individually. I am looking for the same thing and I've downloaded 5 programs from this post and all of them do exactly the same thing, they upload files but not folders.
Does anyone have a solution that actually does what the OP is asking?

FTP server + client will enable you to drag and drop whole folders and it will rebuild the structure automatically. Just like copying and pasting would do.
Where is th update. Zip file located
I creaed update.Zip file but im not able to find it
Its located in /sdcard
i still not able to find it
when you create the update.zip file, and it's finished, the notification bar will have a notification about the path, check that. If it's not there, may be the zip was not created successfully.
/mnt/sdcard/update.zip
Was this solved? I can't find the file either.. it's not in the root of the sdcard, I've tried to create it twice and searched for it. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks.
dont you get a notification of completion of the process and when you pull it down, you can see where its located ?
I'm having the same problem. If I look with root explorer, it exists on the root of the SD, but I can't see it in windows? Maybe it's a 2GB file limit thing or something?
but the update.zip is not more than 4MB

Yeah, I tried to make a smaller one, and it's still there but I can't see it in windows. I tried renaming it as well and that didn't work either.

Answering my own question - its definitely located in the root, just not visible in Windows no matter what I do. Use a root explorer to grab it and move it to a flash drive or remote network location, that's what I did and it worked great.

I used wifi file transfer. I was able to download the file from there.
I had this problem. Try simply unplugging your phone from the USB cord, wait 5 seconds, then plug it back into your PC. Your PC should now see the update.zip.
One of common prob's with MTP !!
just do a search in root explorer, i got 4 locations of the same file on my galaxy s3 so you can find it in anyone of those.
and yes it is the same file in all of those locations, i even tried to change the name on one of them to check if all of them changed and they did
/data/media/0/update.zip
/mnt/sdcard/update.zip
/mnt/shell/emulated/0/update.zip
/storage/emulated/0/update.zip
Move the file out of the root directory and put it a folder, any folder. It will then show up on windows.

This worked for me! Although I used the stock file manager. After moving the update.zip to another location using file manager, I was able to see the file via Windows as well.
just change the file name and retry. worked for me
C:\> adb pull /sdcard/update.zip

I bet your computer can't see all files, browse the backup folder and check if all files are shown

quite weird, what exactly happens when you try to copy?
Sent from my liquid glowing bomb shell
You use TWRP I guess? Latest version has this problem there is a version of 2.5.0.0 with updated touch drivers that will work, look in the TWRP thread
It has nothing to do with the touch drivers. It is a new security feature in 2.6+.
It is related to the permissions being allocated to the backup. It is supposed to be a TWRP 'security feature'... to stop someone from copying your backup from your phone.
If you download the attached zip and extract the command file inside to the folder on your pc containing ADB, if you connect your phone to your pc and double click on the command file, it will change the file permissions and allow you then to copy the backup folder to you pc.
When you run it, you will see two command prompt windows open. One closes immediately and you can close the second one manually. It only takes a second to run.
Easy.

Hi,
It has happened to me (with my old laptop but I don't really know if it's the cause but since I have my new computer I've never had this problem again), try to reboot your phone and transfer your backup but before don't transfer any other files phone->computer or computer->phone, just your backup after the reboot.

This means you don't have ADB, you need to install android sdk to get it

Thanks for correcting my wrong. only revered to the touch driver because of maybe updated firmware. But It's not much of a feature when everyone can download the "key"
Manual Process
If you would like to do it manually do the following:
Open a command window in the Platform-Tools folder of the Android SDK and then type the following:
adb shell
su
chmod -R 777 /data/media/0/TWRP (note, if you are using 4.1 you will need to remove "/0")
exit
exit
This changes the permission so you can copy all of the data from the TWRP folder.

Hello,
I'm currently running Benzo Rom, for some reason whenever I create a file/folder in rootexplorer in "/sdcard" for example, I can't see it on my computer when viewing through windows explorer, but I can see it clearly on my device. What gives?
(Running Windows 7)
.....
PC driver in Windows 10 not signed.
I faced the same issue. I found the reason as MTP bug. Anyways rename the file to something else(change a letter or so) later it should display in windows.

I should clarify that I am on windows 7, not 10. Also How does renaming the file to something else fix it? That doesn't solve the issue if I have to rename a new file/folder every single time I create it..

I've ran into the same situation, both for files I've created and for files created by an app and the only way I've been able to see them on my computer is to either rename them or move them to a different directory. Sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear but I haven't figured out or heard of any other solution.
