Set the sync option to 'Disk Drive' to access mass storage when prompted on the screen as you connect via USB to PC.
If you are not automatically prompted, then go to Settings > Connect to PC > select 'Ask me' and you also have the option to set your Default connection type.

Hi. I'm new to the forums and android. Sorry if this is not the correct place to post this.
When I connect my phone to the PC via USB I only see a few folders and none of the media files in the phone. I've tried accessing through Media Link and Windows Explorer and nothing.
Weird thing is that I see some folders and photos, like the photos taken with the RetroCamera Application.
I have been able to access my files before, it just suddenly stopped working.
Any ideas?
Try using different USB [if already did]
Go to your Hardware devices, change the MTP devices drivers to USB drivers manually [update them choose them manually from list]
Hopefully you'll get it working again
First,you should make sure that your MicroSD's file system is OK.

Can you access the files with your phone's file browser?if you can do that,the sd card might be OK,then you can check the OS.But if you can't,you may have to format the sd card.
this is normal if USB mode is set to windows media sync, its some kind of security feature I think.
you have 2 options:
1. attempt to access via the moto web phone portal as above, you need to set the USB mode to 'motorola phone portal'. but this I find is a bit hit and miss, you can manually connect using this address:
http://192.168.16.2:8080/webfolder
this can be entered into start -> run, in windows explorer, or mapped directly as a network drive
2. go into USB options and change the mode to 'USB mass storage' this will mount the SD card as a proper removable drive and show all the files properly. This option may not be available depending on what firmware is loaded onto the phone though!
to change USB mode swipe the status/menu bar at the top of the phone down, and tap 'USB connection'

Yes, I can access the files through the phone browser.

I've used the moto web portal and I was able to access my files, however, it draggs when moving files. Also, the phone was in USB Mass Storage mode the whole time.
Today I connected my phone to my laptop at the office and even though the Motorola Media Link did not pick up my media files, I was able to access them through Windows Explorer. So I'm leaning towards a driver issue with my home PC.
ah ok, maybe the drivers haven't fully installed, check in the device manager to see of you can spot anything. you could also try changing the usb mode to a different setting then back again, see if that kicks the pc into installing the correct drivers
I re-installed the drivers, but still no go.
What surprises me the most is that I can't access or even see some of the folders in my SD Card. The Motorola Media Link recognizes that there is something in the card, but can't tell what it is.
Googling for days, I found this, but I don't know how to do it or even it is related to my problem:
"Finally i solve the problem. And everything in my ext sd card is back. Problem is emmc folder (means external sd card in cyanogenmod 7) not permitted for write and read.
I use QtADB Terminal for editing the directorys permition.
Step 1: type "su"
Step 2: go to root directory. If you type "ls" and can you see "emmc" you are right position.
Step 3: "chmod 777 emmc" or "$chmod 777 emmc" (for write and read permitted.)
Step 4: Reboot the phone and everythings are back in External Sd Card in EMMC
And Windows detect 2 Storage Drive now. One of 6GB Internal Sd Card, One of 8GB External Sd Card. And i can use my Music player Power AMP.
Everythings perfect for me now. Cyanogen is great ROM but this permision problem should bu fixed. Because i spend three day for solve this problem."
Hi Forum members,
I have a HTC One X with JB. Since the latest Synch Manager (SM) I am not able to synch anything other than Phone Storage. This is because SM doesn't see anything else. At the same time in Explorer I have a folder Internal Storage. This is the folder I also want to synch (partly). So now I can't synch music and pictures, because they are on the Internal Storage.
Anybody has any ideas how to resolve this?
Furthermore before JB I could choose what to do when I connected to my PC: only charge; use as HD; synchronize; tethering and another option. Now I don't have that possibility and tapping "USB connected" on the 'drop down' list only gives the option to change settings for tethering.
Ones again: anybody has any ideas how to resolve this?
Greetings,
Zooi
Did you update SM to the latest version ?
Yes, I have version 1.1.65.0 and the program tells me I have the latest version.
Uninstall and reinstall maybe ? Or you could mount the device in Recovery Mode so it appears as USB Mass Storage instead of MTP
After uninstalling I downloaded the latest version from the HTC website. This appeared a new version: 1.1.66.0!
Now the SM not even detects the phone :crying:, let alone finds the Phone storage or the Internal storage. So nothing is synched and I still cannot change the mode on my phone from "Charge only" (I think, for I can't see in what way the phone is connected to the PC) to "Synchronize".
I also switched the phone off and back on again, but it changed nothing.
In "My Computer" I can see the phone, but only the Internal Storage. Where is the Phone Storage?
So I'm still not able to synch the phone in the SM program. Suggestions anybody?

No idea on your first question, but the above behaviour is normal. In Android 4.1 (and above) MTP is used to connect to the device rather than mounting it as USB storage. The only way to connect it as a mounted USB storage device is to do it in recovery (as someone already suggested).
But the recovery mode can only be accessed through a rooted device? Mine isn't rooted.

Yes, sorry. Assumed since you were posting on here you'd be rooted.
Anyway, try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=34660458
Still uses MTP but reading the thread it sounds like it'll let you access internal storage. I've not tried it since I'm not on Windows anyway, but might be worth a shot.
Same here sync manager does not work on mine. However, windows media player work fine.
I just install the sync manager for the driver.

Thank you all so far for trying to help. Nothing worked, so I still can't access the phone storage and SM doesn't synch other files than music and pictures.I guess I have to manually copy files from internal storage to my PC.
Greetz,

Internet pass through don't work
Internet pass through don't work !
I can sync music between my PC with HOX, but no internet pass through via usb cable!
I have v. 1.1.66.0 Sync manger installed on my PC!
Any solution? Thanks!
I've had my HTC One X for 2 days and I want to ask if this is a normal behavior or something is wrong. When I connect the phone to PC via USB I can access the files only using Windows Explorer. It appears there under "Portable Devices" as "HTC One X". When I double-click there is folder called "Internal Storage" with my files in it. But, is it possible to mount the phone as a regular disk drive (with disk letter assigned, for example E:\), so I can browse the files using Total Commander? I've tried different USB ports but without success. I believe my drivers are working fine.
I've been looking over similar topics here but everyone was talking about looking into "Connect to PC" option in Settings. But I don't have such an option in my Settings! Is it normal? My old Desire had it and I could choose Charge Only/Disk Drive/USB Tethering etc.
When I plug my One X to the computer, the "USB Connected" notification pops up. But when I click on the notification, there are only Hotspot, USB network and Bluetooth options. Nothing related to connection type. See troll.sk/random/scr_usb.png
I've tried turning on/off the USB debugging, but it's still the same.
Is this normal behavior of Jelly Bean 4.1.1?
Edit: when I access Clockwork mod there is an option to mount the USB Drive. When I select this option the internal storage of the phone magically appears in my computer as a regular disk drive just as I wanted. But it's possible only in recovery mod, never happens in normal interface.
Yes... It has been changed after jb update.

Yep this is normal. Google is changing the way that device storage is handled, and as a result this new way has been rolled out by HTC in their JB update. The device will be mounted as a MTP/FTP device instead of the traditional USB storage method.
There is no way that you can mount your device as an USB storage (as E:\ drive, etc.)
BUT, there are a few other ways that you can do this:
1] If you have rooted your phone, you can mount your phone as a USB storage via clockworkmod recovery.
2] If you have NOT rooted your phone, you can download an application called AIRDROID from the market. This will wirelessly allow you to mount your phones USB storage.(But works ONLY on wifi)
