don't know how it works on a Mac, but there is no common usb mass storage currently, i think you mean that the internal sd and external sd
where be mounted as drives ...
you only can access the storages when mounted as MTP
hope this helps

Install "Android File Transfer" ( http://www.android.com/filetransfer/ ) and mount your 4X as MTP.

Thanks!

Disable MTP on USB connect

Is there a way to disable mtp and have the phone handle the usb connection by connecting to the PC as a usb mass storage device ?

Try "USB mode switch for SGS1 on CM" from play store. I am using it on stock 4.0.4 and is working fine.

You mean STANDARD PC mass storage mode in ICS?
System settings>(under wireless and networks) More...>USB utilities>connect storage to pc
Then connect usb to phone.

As far as I know, this is not possible due to the changes of how the external storage is handled within the operating system. On stock Rom with stock kernel you are limited to camera and media device.
Best wishes,
Christian

İ found to how can i do this. İt is possible with application and working for Samsung Galaxy S4 series. You need BusyBox and Root.
Download USB Mass Storage Enabler from here
Download BusyBox from here
Connect ur device with your usb cable
Open the USB Mass Storage Enabler and tap to Mass Storage Mode
and its that.

Yeap, BusyBox and SG USB Mass Storage Enabler will do that for you.
It worked for me on 4.2 and 4.3 ROMs, but it no longer works in KitKat. Haven't yet found a way to enable it in KK.

Is USB Mass storage possible?

I Is it possible to mount the internal storage as USB Mass Storage device on the PC. I like to sync the memory to PC from time to time. It is important that the internal storage is mounted as a separate drive and not a portable device.

Yes, just select the USB notification you get when you connect it and instead of charging you can choose to mount it as a drive.

When I select File Transfer option, it mounts as a portable device and not with a drive letter. As a portable drive I am able to access the files but cannot do automated backups using many backup software. Need to mount with a drive letter.

There's a reason for that. Read this:
http://www.howtogeek.com/192732/android-usb-connections-explained-mtp-ptp-and-usb-mass-storage/
Alternatively, you could enable USB debugging and use ADB commands or something to back up device data.

If your rooted try USB mass storage enabler (UMS enabler v1.6). I have not tried it myself

Our phones CAN NEVER do USB Mass Storage, NO MATTER WHAT.
http://www.howtogeek.com/192732/android-usb-connections-explained-mtp-ptp-and-usb-mass-storage/
We use EXT4 or F2FS, but not FAT(16) or FAT32 anymore.
OP or Mods, please close this thread as answered.

Lol! My linux box can read any file system. The issue is that internal storage is part of data now.
That said usb mass storage drivers work fine. There is a virtual cd drive with drivers. Im just wondering what linux /dev that is on the phone so I can wipe it and cram something else in there… make a rescue boot out of my phone!

If you want to boot a distro or windows or even a UBCD type ISO from the phone, that's what DriveDroid is for.

I tried it. It doesnt work at all on my device (OnePlus 3T) and the interface blows badly, although I hacked my own APK that works great. No interface, just tap an ISO from anywhere.
