hi! its there a way to make an folder on the pc of your sd card or internal memory (in the one x case)..i mean, you know the app wifi file explorer you have to enter an ip on you browser to access your phones memory over wifi right, well what im asking is, that if it is possible to make a folder of your phone memory, and leave it on your computer, and everytime youre at your home and connect to the wifi, the folder is active and you can access that folder any time, without using any other app
if theres no way to make that, it will be a really good idea dont you think?

You would have to install an app on your phone. In order to not install anything, the feature should have been included in the Android OS, and I don't think that will happen any time soon.

Hi.
I am new to Android and need your help.
I can not find files or file manager in the apps confused.
do I need to download anything to be able to do this?
And I do not know how to install apps if I copy one from my mac to the phone.
Lastly, I also do not understand why my mac can not see the folders of the phone even though it is connected via usb.
Finally, I tried to transfer data via bluetooth, but again I did not manage.
It says time over or something I do not know.
It looks very basic, but I need your help.
Please , help.
There is no default file manager. Most people will never need one.
If you want one, search the market for one, there are dozens. Astro is very popular.
to install ones you copy over, you need to go to home>menu>settings>applications
tick the box to 'allow unknown sources'
then, in whichever file manager you download, open the APK file on the card and it should install.
You can only browse the files of the SD card. the phone memory is system memory and protected. you do not eed to access it. All storage is done by the memory card, not the phone memory.
Bluetooth functions are limited on android. you can send files (as long as they are files the phone supports i believe) but you cannot use isync or anything like that.
If you want more sophisticated sync options for android, have a look at the missing sync for android at www.markspace.com
simples.
Thanks.
I downloaded Astro and it seems nice.
Now I can see how it works little bit.
Thanks for your help.
hey guys
I had a bunch of pics that I received via MMS and I needed to use, so I just long click on it and selected to save do sd card. But when I connect the phone to the pc on mass storage mode, I can't find them anywhere.
So I installed the app SaveMMS and saved all the pics to a folder with the same name. Still nothing showed up when I connect the phone to my PC.
Using ASTRO, I can see all the pictures on the download folder and I can also access the SaveMMS folder (and actually some other folders that I cant see from my PC).
I tried to copy to somewhere else and even that didnt work.
I ended up emailing myself the pics...
Any idea on whats happening?
I got root and im using opendesire with a partitioned sd card (and no, there's no pictures on the ext partition).
many thanks
Does any file names or folders on your phone look like, for example, this ".hello"
If so, get rid of the full stop at the start of the name via Astro, as it will not show up on your computer
Thread moved to Q&A.
delete my post
thanks for the reply
the first thing I checked was for hidden folders, and it wasnt that.
the folders ended up showing up on the desktop as well, out of nowhere.
but it just seemed some random, dont know what was the issue.
This is usually because you are using a2sd which makes the SD card do strange things. Changes are only actually saved to the card for the computer to see when restarting the phone
The problem is well documented, and a fix have been made which should fix it
Well, its really weird.
But better weird with A2SD than normal without it ;p
Hi,
Exist some Explorer of Isolated storage thats run without Zune or
Windows developers tools ?
Thanks for advice.
hi
you use a htc device, so you can install the htc root webserver xap.
read this post and try it. it's really simple to use.
you will have access to isolated storage, too.

Nice looking app, but If I can't connect to wifi how to connect to ISOLATED storage ? Works it also if I connect my device via microUSB cable to PC ?
Thanks.
hi
no at that time, it works only via wlan. you can put in the usb-cabel and a ip is showing up, but you can't connect to this ip.
steps to do:
open the webserver app on your device
in the app change the password in one of yours
connect to the showing ip adress in browser on your computer
type in username and password
have fun, the rest is self explanatory!

ok, if I cant connect to wifi the web server is for me
useless solution.
But I found out something else watch this: I got HD2
my microSD card is 8GB. There are 2 partition one is something 7.5 GB
and second this is important is FAT16 200MB.
I installed new FileBrowser and in this app I can see folder Storage Card
and I am able to copy files on this FAT16 partition without problem
and I can read it in card reader and oposite if I copy something in card reader
to FAT16 I can copy it from this "Storage Card" folder in device File Browser and copy it to device.
Shame that It works only on devices with Storage card.
Thats why I love my HD2, Igot WP 7.5 and microSD slot
The file system is whack!
Why?
Try this very simple test.
Create a new folder and create some files to put in there.
Use a USB cable and plug it into your laptop.
Open your phone.
Where is your new folder and files?
But wait, if you open up ES File Explorer on the phone, everything is there?
Okay, reboot your phone.
Then, plug it into your laptop again.
Okay, now everything is there.
It's like you have to reboot your Nexus device in order to allow your laptop to see a refresh of the storage memory.
This is why removable memory is the way to go.
I just use Filezilla and ftpserver from the play store. Easy and fast. I'll never plug my phone into the computer again to transfer files.
use a good file explorer that does refresh the storage index...try solid explorer..problem solved
every change made by solid explorer to the file system is notified to the android media store index, try to repeat your steps with solid explorer
(that happens to every new phone out there that use MTP over mass storage file transfer, about 90% of new smartphone, even phone with removable storage use MTP today )
Wires are much too cumbersome. I use ES file manager to move files to/from my tablets/PC/dropbox/Box.com. Copy and paste between any and all of those easier than using a full desktop PC. No need to search for a wire. Or even be in the same room as your PC. Problem solved.

But, the nice thing about removable storage is that it's easy to pop out the memory card and put it into your laptop. I only wish that laptop makers would put a micro SD card slot into laptops so I don't have to keep my adapter in there.
Plus, it copies way faster that way, in my experience. Also, Windows Explorer treats it like storage device, instead of some weird "thing" with the MTP method, ie, Teracopy never works with MTP.
i use root explorer and never had that issue. i created folder thru root explorer and i plugged into my laptop and i was able to view folder. but i got to say when i first got my gnex i was scared because of not having a removable sd card. but when i did have my droid X my sd card did fail, but luckily i backed everything up to my laptop before it actually failed.

excuse me, but you have created a post to state that you are not buying another Nexus device just for that silly reason you mention?

What? That has nothing to do with internal storage versus Sd... Might wanna learn how computers work and how to use a file explorer...

Uhh, might want to know what you're talking about before trash typing....with SD you can remove the card and use the MUCH BETTER & 10x FASTER Windows file manager, can't do that with the Nexus internal storage.

This is not a Galaxy 'Nexus' problem, it's an Android thing, its MTP.
Any app that can trigger a media scan should cure that without having to reboot.
I've been using filezilla on my pc to push files to my phone for awhile though and it is much more convenient. USB transfer is slow and those cords always break on me >.<
That's no reason to ditch the galaxy nexus though. Maybe the terrible screen, poor placement of headphone jack, and battery life though... Lol

So, I think it's just a problem linked to your Gnex. When I plug mine, I always see it on my pc like a removal memory.. And this should happen if you are rooted or not, it doesn't depend on it.
Inviato dal mio Galaxy Nexus utilizzando Tapatalk
18 months of updates doesn't warrant buying a nexus anymore, I just buy a better hardware non nexus phone an install the latest google stock on it using a custom rom.
Uninstall mtp drivers from drivers management and install it again
Remove all drivers related to gnex and install again
Just download latest USB drivers zip

And follow istructions

Don't know how but I never faced this issue. I use file manager.
***SOLUTION FOUND! I CAN NOW ACCESS THE FOLDER. SEE POST BELOW.***
Android File Transfer was working great up until a few days ago when it started to bug out, only for when trying to access the Camera folder on my exSD Card.
I can access everything else except when clicking on this folder the message pops up, which makes no sense because my screen isn't locked. (Screenshot attached.)
Could it be that the amount of pictures/videos on the exSD card is too much to handle for AFT? After all, it is a 64GB card...which is a lot of land to cover and load....hmmmm
I've tried this, but no luck.
Note: I'm aware of AirDroid etc...Personally I prefer to be plugged in direct via USB.

Not really a theme Or app question but I'll give it a swing.
Can you access it on your phone fine?
Did you try using a card reader an see if you can access it that way?
If it's stating locked, it may have set permissions on your folder that inhibit access? Check those in a root explorer an see what they say too

Mod, can you move this over to the proper forum. Thanks.
Possible causes / Things I've tried:
I do have some pictures in an App called: KeepSafe, where you have to enter in a pin code to access those pics, so then I was thinking maybe this was causing the problem. So I entered the App and tried connecting, but darn...same old thing. Doesn't work and I keep getting the same error message as the pic I have attached to the original thread.
I have also tried to reboot in Recovery (twrp) and tried to mount the exSD, but still nothing. Here's the message it gave me:
E: Unable to mount '/usbstorage'
This is driving me crazy. Anyone?

Can you access it on your phone fine? - Yes I can access it just fine through ES File Explorer. I've also checked the permissions.
Did you try using a card reader an see if you can access it that way? - I'm sure it'll work fine with a card reader, but that's not my preferred method. It's just frustrating for something to have worked and out of the blue stop.
If it's stating locked, it may have set permissions on your folder that inhibit access? Check those in a root explorer an see what they say too - I've uploaded a screen shot of the message that I'm receiving.

Try moving the KeepSafe files to another directory.

Update 6/30/14
SUCCESS!
From the gallery on your phone, you can create folders and move (not copy) over pictures/videos and it'll be default save it to your phones internal SD card.
I didn't want to move all 4,000+ pics/vids so I just did it in little batches of 20 here 50 there and made just a few folders.
Then I connected the phone to my computer and accessed the Camera folder and....bam there it OPENS!
My theory:
If you have more than ~50% of your external SD card filled up then chances are your computer (Android File Transfer, for Mac users) will have a hard time trying to access that huge folder that is < 30+GB's ...
Therefore, you just have to lighten up the load on that folder so that it can be accessed with ease...
Pretty straight forward and simple.

It is more likely that they thought it very unlikely that there would be more than the old limit of 2,000 files in a directory so they didn't allow for it in the program code.
