Cool, thanks, works too.
Yes, I did search.

I'd like to get the files off the camera, but the tab will not have enough space for the transaction. I need to dump the files directly onto a portable drive.
Can the USB host a camera and a 1TB drive with a USB hub?
Thanks
Short answer.. yes probably, but will have to work at it.
I'm assuming it already recognizes your camera and allows you to access the files. If not, then you've got a whole other problem.
Using a usb hub, first plug in the camera and let it mount to usb_storage.
Then plugin the other drive. If it's NTFS Formatted, you can use NTFSMount (search these forums for it) to mount the hard drive. If it's FAT32, you'll need to use a terminal emulator to mount the drive manually.

You can also use an ADB shell to mount the drives. No need for extra software on the tab if you don't want.

Hm...I may have to try that. I haven't used the ADB shell, but I can't imagine that being too hard as long as the drives are recognized.
Thanks.
I use Ubuntu 64bit as my desktop.
I can mount SGT7.7 as a mass storage on my WinXP.
But it doesn't work on my linux machine.
Any solution?
Thanks
How can you mount SGT7.7 as a mass storage on WinXP?
I wanna do that too.
My 7.7 can mount only as MTP >.<

It only works as MTP.
The only way so far to map it for easy file transfer is to have an adb-gui-wrapper that does file transfer and query.
Like the great QtADB, available in windows/linux/macosx flavour:

Do you install Samsung kies?
After I installed Samsung Kies,
when I connect my SGT7.7,
I can access the internal storage and external storage through file explorer.

I believe he meant Mass Storage as in , like a card reader, it assigns a drive letter.
No, unfortunately, SGT 10.1, 8.9, 7.7 and 7.0 plus does not allow the unit run other than MTP mode, so no Mass Storage.
That's why the micro SD slot and/or USB OTG adapter is so useful. If you ever want to copy stuff over to your device, that you otherwise wouldn't be able to via MTP, you can just put it directly to a micro SD, or on a USB device and then copy from there to the 7.7

Hi kazuni,
May you connect to SGT 7.7 with adb in linux?? The adb devices command just gives me:
List of devices attached
???????????? device
My PC is installed with Ubuntu Linux 64bit. I had add an udev rule with the following content:
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="04e8:6860", SYMLINK+="android_adb", MODE="0666"
TEST=="/var/run/ConsoleKit/database", \
RUN+="udev-acl --action=$env{action} --device=$env{DEVNAME}"
But it does not work.
Can copy over files

yes you can. I am using backtrack5 and ubuntu, both works with adb push and pull.
Good news for Mac users, Kies Mac works with the GT 7.7. Although the Samsung website only lists the Tab 10.1, it works perfectly with the 7.7

Any other way to connect the GT7.7 to Mac with USB connection?
I really hate Kies (as everybody I guess ) and hoped that Android Files Transfer worked but unfortunally not!
It works only with my Galaxy Nexus
Need to mount Galaxy 7.7 as Mass Storage
I'm having same problem. Need to transfer my itunes library via Easy Phone Tunes but not being able to since it's not mounting microSD card and if I just transfer the media files then it doesn't get all the track info like artwork and such.
Hey guys,
seems like mtp tools are not working in the newest Ubuntu 12.04. I didn't manage to get it to work. Google confirmed what.
Since I cant't get it to work, i am always booting to windows 7. MTP works great there.
Greetings
Daniel
I dont know about Linux, but For Windows users, add this to Totalcommander plugins, itt will apear as mediaaudio in the network connections in Totalcommander!
True, this is not mass storage, but close
I rooted my N10, then installed some Apps for OTC Mass Storage detection. These Apps are detecting and mounting the USB drive.
With an explorer i can copy files form the N10 to the USB stick, but i cannot see these files on my Windows PC.
And when I copy from my Windows PC I cannot see these files on my Nexus.
Does somebody know what's the problem here?
Thanks!
Strange. Are you using Stickmount with ES File Explorer?
Just flash Craiggomez's ROM and you'll have native USB support. It's so much easier.

Exactly, I am using these two Apps....
My Windows is also not mounting the N10 storage via USB... kind of weird...

It works good. But I cannot copy files onto the usb storage.
Is your N10 storage recognized by Windows when connected to the USB?
Hello,
I'm trying to mount my cellphone as a mass storage device in my Nexus 7, in order to listen the music I have in its sdcard.
Using an OTG cable and StickMount, I can mount pendrives without any problem, but I can't read my phone's contents.
Obviously, I enabled Mass storage mode in my phone (it's running Android 2.3) and tried to mount using 'mount /dev/sda' without luck.
Thanks!
I think you've got the wrong subforum.

Thanks, I wasn't clear. Fixed.
I used the OTG cable I use in my S4. Unfortunately when I connect it to an HDD it couldn't find it. You guys have better luck than me?
I used Stick mount and OTG helper, it still would not find/mount the HDD.

If your HDD is formatted as "NTFS", it will not be recognized. I've tried several apps, but none works. What you have to do is to format your HDD to "ExFAT" format and it will work.
