I don't think you can view all files on your pc... I've seen many m8s and on each one not all folders could be read when attached to a pc. The best way to see all your files is using a file explorer like es file explorer

I have moved a works folder from my pc to my nexus via the USB cable. I dropped it in the Internal storage along with the other already present folders. How do I view this folder on the phone. Should I be doing this another way.
All help welcome.

I would recommend using a file manager like Astro or ES Explorer.

You just need to install a file manager app from the market. Try astro file manager.

All sorted, cheers to you all. Loaded ES File Manager
Hi all, I'm using ES File Explorer. Sometimes when I delete a file by using the Nexus itself and afterwards plug it into my computer and I browse using Windows Explorer, the file that was supposedly deleted would still show up. Does anyone know why this is?
its a ES explorer problem?
does any one know a better file explorer?
thankyou
Root Explorer is my favorite.

Probably Windows Explorer is not properly refreshing file/folder listing of your phone. Common problem with the MTP protocol.

I just tried with root explorer, on my brothers nexus... im thinking its a nexus problem,
try it out,
delete any file using your nexus, and look for it using windows explorer immediately after deleted the file on yor phone.
on ES explorer/Root explorer, you wont see the file, but it will stay there on windows explorer

I'm going to say it's a problem with Android's current implementation of MTP. Other MTP/PTP devices such as digital cameras or media players work fine with Windows, in general.
I don't know a way of getting this fixed. Read the guide I link to in my signature for workarounds/more info.

Hi i am trying to access files inside my rooted device but it appears it cannot, even if i use a third party file explorer android app .
it is rooted and has a memory card as well but unable to access the file contents of it.
it is running the latest version fo cynageon rom as well.
any advice?
Be more specific. what's happening when you try to access files with adb or a file explorer?

Do the files show up in windows explorer if you plug it in and mount as usb mass storage?
no they dont show up . i am going to reformat the folders and see if that works
Any suggestions?
I have a weird problem with the G4 memory showing all files and folders in windows explorer.
It began with Vuze downloads (torrents), everytime I wanted to see a downloaded file on PC I had to move it from the Vuze folder to another one so windows explorer can see it.
Now more files are not appearing in windows explorer, from both internal and SD card, I reinstalled the drivers 3 times but still my Windows 10 can't see all the files produced on the G4, example I copied an app from system partition to external SD, I can see it on Root Explorer on the G4 itself but not on Windows!
What is the fix?
Yes my phone is rooted
Ok I think I have found the problem:
Some third party apps that write on the G4 memory (SD included) like Vuze will not write it with hidden LG ''permission'' so the files are unviewable on PC.
I updated my Root Explorer app to latest one and now I can see the files I cut or paste with it on Windows.
I have found this ''bug'' thanks to the stock G4 File explorer as it was the only app capable to cut and paste in the G4 memory and let it show in windows.
Vuze looks like it needs to be updated by its maker so the files downloaded are visible in windows, until then I will have to move them using the new Root Explorer or the stock G4 file explorer

Do you mean from internal storage folder dcim to a folder on scard ?

I use a file explorer such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nextapp.fx
However if you want to have photos stored on sdcard always then set storage location in camera settings
