Is there anybody using linux pc with o4x? Do you have convenient way to copy files from / to o4x. No matter what USB mode is chosen, it cannot be mount as a mass storage drive. Adb works well, but it is not convenient to push folders.
I'm using fedora 17. In contrast, the mass storage works well in the windows virtual machine with drivers installed.

You can use the MTP mode with some software, but for me it's very slow. For now i've been pushing small files via Google Drive; another option is to use a FTP server on the phone.
Ok. Thanks. I think I will stick to virtual machine wibrows.

I'd like to get an opinion on what's the best WiFi File Manager app around as I'm always transferring media i.e photos etc back and forth from my DHD to pc and vice versa and it would be better not having to use a usb cable and using a quick and simple way over WiFi would be better.

if it's small files then I use Bluetooth.
For larger things I use ASTRO file manager with the SMB module, then i can browse my Laptop or PC folders via my phone.
I couldn't get SMB Module to work. Best I have found so far is Estrongs with the built in WiFi file Manager. Can simply view the contents of your pc from phone and copy and paste onto phone.

What about MyPhoneExplorer
IMO excellent piece of software that allows connection via cable, Bluetooth and WiFi
And its free
Dropbox!
i use "file expert" for nearly everything.
but i also have SSHDroidPro in case i wont to log into my phone or use e.g. winscp or scp to trasnfer file from/to sitting at my pc.
Websharing is the one for me
LOL wtf..
Just make sure you have a shared folder on your Win7 machine (create something like Android transfer and share with 'Everyone')
Use ES File Explorer to set up a Server on LAN tab
job done
are there any apps that implement the new usb host mode api for doing things like connecting cameras that mount as mass storage devices? or do I not understand this api properly?
USB mass storage is an app.

yeah I saw this app however it requires root which I'm not willing to do right now. just wondering since this became an officially supported API if anything has come out that implemented it.

Is there a faster way to transfer files? I downloaded the infamous Kies but that didn't even run after being installed on my PC. When connected it shows up as a tablet and takes EXTREMELY LONG TIME to transfer any to almost all kinds of data. Is there a work around on this?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
WiFi is the fastest, I there are a few apps that will handle both paid and free. Also dropbox is excellent for copying files too and from. And you can use the comp. Or es file explorer for ftp and shared devices as well.

You should try AirDroid, work really well. Install app on device and client on pc.

Can you use airdroid? Or use a sdcard reader. There's more than 1 way to do this.
Sadly no WiFi and mass storage (card reader) support.only ptp

basically i want to browse my sdcard internal folder using my windows 8 pc using SMB networking shares
it might be a lollipop issue?
i have samba file sharing working perfectly using nexus 7 fhd on android 4..3
has anyone gotten this to work? i can't seem to get it working, my PC can see the network share of the nexus6 but it won't allow me to view into the folders
i tried SAMBA file sharing and servers ultimate pro apps

Hmmm. From KitKat onwards, only the app that is used for mounting can see the contents. Not sure you'll get this working without a dirty-hijack of debuggerd - which you'll need to be pretty good at bash shell scripting to do.

This works on mine OK using the SMB app you linked to. I had to fool around with user id, password, and workgroup name in the app settings to make it work.
