No USB Mass Storage support on the Galaxy Nexus. Well, for us Linux (and Mac) users that's some bad news.
- joe_fishfish 15y agoThere's Android File Transfer for Mac users, which supports MTP. Not sure there's anything at all for Linux users. This issue has turned the phone from must-have to never-want for me - it's unbelievably handy to essentially have a 32GB USB hard disk in my pocket wherever I go. Are there any actual advantages to MTP or PTP for end users?
- bnr 15y agoApps like SSHDroid and SMBDroid can make your phone act as a file server on WiFi. MTP allows the storage to be accessed by the phone and computer at the same time.
- Aissen 15y agoReally ? That's your dealbreaker ? MTP has been supported for long time on Linux… Just tried it on gnome and kde, no problem. BTW, MTP has great advantages from an engineering PoV: you don't have to use a crappy FAT filesystem on your eMMC. You don't have to give full control over an essential piece of storage to another OS, so you can continue accessing data/apps installed on the storage.
- eren-tantekin 15y agoI don't know which device you tried with Linux but Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not working on my Linux even though every library and package related to MTP are installed.
