I am currently running ics-deck-pa8 and after some research it seems there is no USB support for mounting, however I found this app that works great! Its easy install to. No port forwards, no firewall issues, no user/pass needed, just install, start, and change away

um, dropbox?
I dont like dropbox. Never did. Also this uses LAN not WAN access to sync everything. As well, its an FTP client so I can drag, drop, modify, share to any folder on the phone. As opposed to: drag files to Dropbox folder, wait for sync on both sides, then use a file browser to drag and drop files where you need them.
Im doing a lot of file moving back and fourth for mod'ing right now on the ICS Rom and dont have USB SD mount support.
Ftpserver app (pretty sure it's that its simple) and filezilla is what I use when cable is not an option. You can use it over wifi and 3g ... I believe that's what you are asking about. hope it helps

Es File explorer works great. You can bookmark local shares and it can treat dropbox and box.net accounts like a folder, seemlessly. Root access, etc

I tried AirDroid for ICS pa8 and it wasnt co-operating. It looked like a great App. It kept giving my my 3G IP Address and not my WiFi IP address.
hmmm. I just though about turning off 3G and trying it. Either way they both accomplish the same thing.

A long time ago I couldn't get my computer to recognize my Evo, so I bought this app called Websharing or something. It uses webdav, and I've found that too be the best option for dragging and dropping files without USB. If you can find a free app that uses webdav then I'd try that out. Once you have it setup it's just like having your phone connected via USB, except transfer is a bit slower.
The app I bought hasn't been updated in over a year. There's a free version but you only get webdav with the paid version. If you can find a free app that does the same then I'd save your money.

It's not that.. the nexus doesn't support USB mass storage.. it uses MTP (a microsoft protocol) for media transfer..
OS X doesn't have native MTP support like Windows does.. so google provides a program you can use to transfer files..

This is the sad truth.. there is an advantage to it (which is why they chose to do it); the entire storage can be used for apps.
If it's a big issue for you, just wait until an ICS device with an SD card comes out. the SD card will allow regular USB mass storage (without any extra PC/Mac software)

Just wait until Google's OSX app crashes for the n'th time in a row. Then you will really question Google's choice of MTP.
Google wrote that using this scheme allows Android to keep the drive mounted and provide access to the host. And with respect to MTP, well most people use Windows and MTP is well support on that platform.
Sigh...
i downloaded the app and haven't thought about it since. not a big deal.
eric b
I can't say i've really noticed it being a problem, it was the same with the xoom. It exactly the same process,just the 3 minutes it takes to download the app the first time that is the difference.
Not really a major issue.
There's also things like Wifi File explorer and also a DAV server - so you can mount the phone remotely as a drive - available on the android market.
No real need to use the cable, unless you're doing development with it.
Or you can run Windows in a VM on your MAC like I do. I need windows for certain apps so I have Parallels 6.0 and I get everything I need without compromise. The BLAME sites squarely with APPLE.

That app seems to barely work for me with my tab 10.1. It worked fine at first, but now it never seems to work regardless of the ROM I'm using (which is typically stock). Hopefully the Nexus won't/doesn't have that problem.
If you're wondering, it doesn't show the data on the device. It just shows <none> for the folder and file.

MTP is NOT a Microsoft protocol (though might've been developed by them). It's a USB standard and has been since 2008. Apple has just been slow to implement it.

Not raging, just wondering why it is this way. But I got good responses, and couple of idiots here also trying to boost their egos.
The thing why I'm complaining is that the app that google tells you to install, doesn't work very well It usually hangs on the first run, and you have to force-quit it, and open it again to get it working.
not sure if anyone has posted this but this app does work. especially for people that like to change their look everyday like me. lol

It Works, But
I got one. A nice little piece of kit. But so far it isn't a seemless experience.
The default Apps don't seem to recognize it. Neither Gallery nor QuickPic will find any of the photos on it until I navigate to it using ES File Explorer. Gallery will only show the photo I open from File Explorer. QuickPic will allow me to browse the directory of a photo I select, but not move up the directory tree.
As for music files, Play Music will do so for the file selected from ES File, but won't allow me to search the memory card.

Not Rooted Yet
While I got the Developer Edition, I haven't rooted it yet as I'm still deciding whether or not to put either my company e-mail (with their MaaS360 Mobile Device Management) or my client's e-mail (and its Citrix Recevier security - speaking of, what poor reviews!). Either Maas360 will detect Root, or it is just company "policy" to not allow rooted devices, and I'm still trying to find out which is is before I move on things.
I'd thought changing the USB Computer Connection setting in teh Storage settings from Media Device (MTP) to Camera (PTP) might help, but no joy. In fact, I was a bit surprised that there wasn't anything about the attached device there.
And while I'd also like to get Titanium Backup in place, there aren't any ROMs with real appealing capabilities that are pushing me to unlock and root. Now, when there's a Menu patch like Jason Robitaille's Advanced Launcer Options in WebOS, I'll be rooted & ROMing in a heartbeat.

Totally understandable .. I think in theory it should work, but just wasn't sure about motox compatibility with the stickmount and otg setup... Apparently Motorola phones dont seem to work with Carbon/Helium backup so I was wondering if something in the system might interrupt the setup.
hells yeah... Another webOS fan!! So rare to find one these days.. I'm only on Android becuz things went south ... At least matias is design the UI for android now.. And with HP's alleged intention to sell webOS patents, we just might find that Android becomes more webOS-y in the future!
The patch system was awesome! I think Rod Whitby setup Nexus Internals a while back when HP started giving up on webOS... Not sure if they are working on any solutions similar to preware? Closed framework is very similar in concept tho... Have u installed it?

Response from Meenov
I sent a note to the Meenov support site yesterday, giving them a heads-up about the Moto X issue and this thread, and got this quick response:
"Thanks for the feedback. Unfortunately that's because Moto X removed certain support for external USB storage, while Moto's other models (Droid series) have better support for external USB storage."
So hopefully the smarter among us will figure out what the problem is and it in a future ROM.

Ok, so I've had mine for about a week now and it works great with my 32GB UHS-1 class card.
To get your media to read in other apps, such as music in Google Play Music, download the app by Chainfire called Stickmount. Mount the Meenov. Second, if you wanna go the free route, download the app called Rescan Media Root and run it. (obviously, you need to have root access) Give it about 10-20 seconds (your Meenov will start to blink) and your music should start appearing in Google Play Music. Just remember to Unmount when you want to remove the Meenov reader. And to remove all your music stored on the card that still appears in Google Play Music, run Rescan Media Root again.
Or, you can just drop $2.49 on the pro version of Stickmount and it will automatically trigger a rescan on mount and unmount.
I loved this feature on my LG G2 but I can't find it on this phone? Has it been removed?

This may be a deal breaker for me.
Yeah I just realized that myself. I am pissed. I just got my G3 yesterday and immediately saw it wasn't there. I used that almost on a daily basis - had scripts written for it to copy files for work. Maybe not a deal breaker for me, but certainly a strong annoyance. There may be third party apps that can do the same thing or a similar work around, but it was certainly nice to have built in. Shame on you LG or Google or whoever!!!
On the ATT version. when your phone and computer both connected to Bluetooth go can do file transfer that way.
I used to use samba filesharing. Works well just cannot run from notification bar.

Near as I can tell, AirDroid is NOT QUITE the same as WirelessStorage. The former goes through a Cloud service server for a website that offers you free and premium features. You're not staying on your own internal wireless network, which is what the Wireless Storage does.
Certain file explorers for Android offer similar functionality to WirelessStorage. I just tested out Solid Explorer and it has an FTP Server functionality (go to the program Menu and select "File Sharing") that will allow basic directory view and file downloads from the LG G3. It does not appear to have the upload capability, though and the web interface is nowhere near as polished as the LG G2's native capability. Unfortunately this program is only offered as a time limited free version or the paid version.
I would assume that ES File Explorer would have similar (or even superior) functionality? I haven't confirmed if that's true or not, yet.
why we not only can install the wirelessstorage.apk from lg g2 rom?
I tried that, but install aborted.

Maybe a dev can bake the old apk from the G2 in to a customer rom at some point. There are work-arounds, but nothing seems to be as clean and easy as it was on the G2.

Hello there!
So i just bought a Samsung galaxy tab S 8.4 SM-T700 version. And i must say, it is beautiful...
But my problem lies in the torrenting, i got a 64 gb microsd card and put it in so that i can download things and i dont have to run my pc cos it eats more power then a tablet naturally. So i downloaded uTorrent to the tablet and it wouldnt let me download, it thinks a little and then says that the files are not found. I've tried 3-4 torrent clients all the same error.
Thinking the client was at fault i downloaded it to my phone (nexus 4) and it worked perfectly, instatnly started downloading.
So my question is that is it the tablets fault that i cannot download? I mean do i have to change some settings or do i have to give up on torrenting on it? If im at it i might also ask that would it hurt the tablet in any was that i torrent on it?
Thanks in advance!
Peace!
Antenora.
Did you change the folder to put the torrent in? It usually tells you when it saids add torrent.
I use Utorrent on my sm-t700 just fine i'd suggest trying a differant network maybe the ports are blocked on the one your trying to use.
Hi
you just can't save torrents into your 64Gb SD unless you are rooted.
anyway it's much better to get torrents on pc. it really drains a lot of battery using lte.

Appreciate you trying to be power conscious, but your PC does not have a battery that will die in a few years and be a pain in the behind to replace. Your PC is always plugged in and you're not trying to carry it around with you and have to worry about charging it every night.
Yeah I hate it when I ask a question and instead of getting a solution I get unsolicited advice, but in this case, well it makes sense.

I am very glad to contribute. I did a lot of roots and guides through xda.
batery is not only issue when torrenting. I realised it is a pain to send the 64Gb files everytime to pc or nas. as alternative you can plug an external hd drive to easily increase a few Tbs.
touché!

Latest release states restriction has been overcome - no mention by dev that root is necessary.
