Copy/paste from wifi - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys. Is there a way to access via wifi files and folders of internal sd card to perform operations like the usb connection?

You can easily do it with this app.

thank you, very useful app. But I was searching for an app that let copy and paste from windows folders, that turns the phone in a wifi pen drive. Is it possible?

I just found my killer app! That's it! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nuriara.pendrive&hl=it
It works as an ftp server i think

Transfer files to Nexus S via usb

Sorry, i have searched all over. Am I missing something? Is there no ability to transfer files from my phone to my tab? Using root explorer I cannot find the directory for the sdcard on my Nexus S. Please dont tell me i have to transfer the files from my phone to my windows machine and then to my tablet... any insight would be helpful.

You could just set up an ftp server on either (or both) of the devices, then transfer via WiFi... That's what I do, also for transferring data between my tab and my computer (which runs linux).
Before you ask: there are plenty of FTP server and client apps... just search the market.
Thanks I'll try that. That's really freaking bogus if there is really no connectivity via USB between two android devices...
Edit: got it working. Who would have thought you'd have to enable USB storage on both devices. I had just done it on my phone. Now i feel like an idiot... haha

USB MTP connection

Does N7 only have single partition and that's why there is no USB mass stroage connection option and have MTP instead? Does this also mean when flash a custom rom, the wipe option will also wipe the entire "internal storage" folder?
My main questions is actually about the MTP connection with limited access. For example, I have GTA game installed but after connected via MTP, under andoid/data I don't see the com.rockstar.gta3 folder along with many other folders. If I open up any file browser on N7, I see all the folders showing but In my windows 7, I only see 9 app folders. Is there a permission setting somewhere so I can gain access to see all the files?

I'm also very interested in this, I made a nandroid but due to our limited space I'd like to move that onto my computer, however the clockwork mod folder doesn't show up via MTP and it does when connected via wifi FTP server.

Use custom kernel with usb-otg, connect a flash drive, then use root explorer to copy paste. In theory, haven't tried.

You could use adb if you're shell-savy.

Would transfer file over WiFi do it?

yes but usb is allot faster then wifi, so transferring movies and backups sucks via wifi.
I'm trying to copy across Titanium Backup files but only 2 files will transfer. My Nexus 7 is showing up as a Portable Media Player and using MTP. I don't want to use this method. Is there a way to see my Nexus 7 as a USB Mass Storage Device? I have tried the PTP although that limits even more files to view.
With the limited space on offer for the Nexus 7 I don't like being limited in what I can and can't transfer from it. I don't want to use WiFi either, it simply isn't as fast as USB and I don't want to have to upload all my information to DropBox or a cloud in general
Wait until you try to put a lot of photos on the Nexus 7 that must retain their timestamps. Due to the filesystem used and MTP all the timestamps get changed to when the copy procedure occurred. My Nexus 7 is going back because of this major design flaw.

That's only for getting photos off the Nexus 7 not for putting them on it. At least, that's the way it works for me.

[Q] Transfer files FROM Nexus 7 to pc ?

Hi All ,,, Is there ANY way that you can transfer files ,, mp3's ,
photo's , downloads ,,,, FROM the Nexus 7 TO a computer ?
Is there ANY way to do this , or APP to use
that can do this ?
THANKS for all replies ,, KZ ..
yep. just connect your nexus 7 to your computer with the included micro usb cord. when your computer recognizes the nexus 7, click on it to see all of your pictures, music and the like. other options include google drive for written stuff, or evernote for the same. anything you download on the nexus 7 is located in a folder called download, accessible once you connect it to your computer.
Connect the Nexus 7 to your computer with the supplied USB cable and it will show up as a media device, at least on modern operating systems.
I either use Dropbox (installed on both the PC and the N7) or the app ES File Explorer over our home WiFi, connecting to a folder on my PC I've named Nexus7 and share with anyone who logs onto as me. You just have to know the local IP address of your PC (and username and password, of course) for when you connect via the LAN view of ES File Explorer. ES File Explorer remembers the connection for subsequent accesses.
I don't really use the cable for anything more than charging.
try out airdroid.the best remote control&transfer app i have seen.

i like samba server from funky fresh
is allows you to see your "sd card" as a network drive over wifi
Look on playstore for an app called WiFi transfer

I'm partial to WiFi File Explorer. It's in the Android Market. It temporarily opens a web server on your device allowing you to navigate the filesystem. DropBox, Box, or direct cable connection all work as well.

[Q] Downloading to external OTG storage?

Hi all,
I'm on the verge of getting a N10, just holding off a little longer to see if the 32GB version becomes available in the next few days (praying the 16GB doesn't go out of stock in that time).
I'm just wondering if when downloading files etc it gives you the option to save straight to the external otg storage? I don't mind getting the 16GB and using an otg cable for additional stoarge, but would be very handy if this is possible, ie does it show up in file explorer apps like solid explorer?
I believe you need to root the device to write to external storage, my N10 isn't rooted and reads USB storage fine. It just appears in esfile manager like any other but I cannot write to it.

I don't mind obtaining root, just wondered if it was possible

Hi!
What specific app are you using for this? Do you use Nexus Media Center?
I've rooted and use stickmount. USB drives show up at /sdcard/usbStorage/sda in es file explorer and bs media player with full read/write access.
Edit
------
As for downloading, I can't say I've ever tried to download something with a browser to anywhere other than the default 'downloads' folder, but I have downloaded straight to USB with atorrent
Hi, I'm using Nexus Media Importer.

Transfer files to nexus4 on MAC

I have a MAC and to transfer files to the nexus 4 its a nightmare with the AFT(Android File Transfer) every time it crash or doesnt transfer so im looking for a different way to transfer,another program or without a program,someone here now an alternative?
*sorry for the english mistakes
Thank You!
No one??
Im looking for a method to use on my mac just like i used to use with my galaxy s like a removable disk.
Not a s fast, but you can use FTP with a program like ES File Explorer and copy over your wireless LAN.
AirDroid has been pretty effective for me. There are a couple other ones in the store as well, but I don't remember them off the top of my head. Sadly, there doesn't appear to be a way to just mount it as a disk like older phones
im using airdroid but to heavy files its bad....
i wonder what changes that now need this F***** program!?
