Hello,
I've recently purchased my Nexus 7 and it's a great device, except for an infuriating problem.
Yesterday, I was able to copy files straight to the tablet from Windows. Today, every file hangs at 'calculating' and then proceeds to crash windows explorer and require me to pull out the usb cable.
I have tried usb debugging on/off, renaming the files to give different extensions and still nothing copies over. Only tiny files manage to, at around 600kb each.
TL;DR: I was able to copy multiple file types to my Nexus 7, now I can't copy anything bigger than a tiny photo.
Thanks!
Isn't MTP "great"? Wish Google will get it and bring back to USB Mass Storage.
We all remember how bad file-copying by ActiveSync was and that's why UMS took off as a much more robust solution.
Do you know how to fix the problem though? I can RAR my files and then copy them, but that is impractical.

I've tried using bulk file copy programs, but it says the destination is invalid.
I wonder if that is because the PC reads the Nexus as a media player, and not mass storage.
Has anyone fixed it yet?
Same problem here. WiFi Explorer works to copy the files. Not as fast but worked for me. I use the Pro Version, here's a link:

Have you tried simply renaming the file extension to something different until you get the file transfered over?
I'm stuck at work or I would take a look at it myself.

Have to agree with you, MTP is hopeless. I've tried to copy a Titanium Backup folder numerous times and it never does a complete copy. How pathetic is this!
I've had to resort to using SMB with Ghost Commander and that is very slow! There must be a better way! Help!
mtp is horrific...

Same here. It copies about 70% of the files from the Titanium Backup folder in Nexus7... and then stops (as if completed). But when I check the destination folder on my PC, 30% aren`t transferred. How can we have such pathetic file transfer, in `this` day and age?

Has anyone figured this out yet? I have about 1 Gig of TB files...
Currently copying the files to a separate folder on my computer then cutting those files onto my nexus
7 works for me but is bothersome most of the time.
I just copied a 350Mb folder of files to the N7. It took 30 seconds. Then I copied it back to my desktop and it took 21 seconds. I'm stock, rooted, 4.21, usb debugging on with MTP, using the original usb3 cable plugged into a rear usb port. There must be something else going on with your devices.
I also noticed that problem. But discovered that it only show up when you start "Play music". If you have started the app and would copy something just reboot . works for me!
Nexus 7 32G, European stock rom
I have the same problems as stated before. But i also noted this: when i add a new folder anywhere on the devices memory with Astro, for example a folder with pictures and shortly after i want to copy that folder to my PC. The created folder is missing and nowhere to be found while browsing the device via usb in windows explorer. Even after rebooting the pc and nexus7. Its like the index of files doesn't get refreshed often. When i tried again a few days later, the folder appeared in explorer just fine.

Only time I have seen this problem was when I tried to copy files directly to the root of the storage directory. Try copying to an existing folder on your nexus and see if it still fails.

I shut off my Bluetooth and the problem went away.
Had greater luck with this renaming or, zipping the files. It seems if the file extension isn't recognized as being handled that it will be denied after it finishes copying.

I had the same problem two days ago ... ijust ignored it and the next day everything was working fine ... i guess try restart PC and Tab both
Try this
If you have wifi, try Airdroid! Worked for me! & when the cheapo charging port gets loose, get a "Qi" charging station. Lay your device on it and it charges right through the case, wirelessly.

That worked for me. That's really strange...
when trying to transfer files from my mac onto my N4 using android file transfer (im on a mac) at first the device will load and then maybe after 5 seconds or less it will disconnect and reconnect for about 1 second on and off. it makes it really annoying to put roms onto the devices storage because i am able to start the transfer then after the 5 seconds it disconnects and the transfer fails. i know the usb works and everything because adb works fine. this happens on every rom/kernel i have tried. any ideas?
Hello,
since i install CM11-M4 (before i have original Rom from LG installed) the USB to my Win7 PC lost while i copy .mp3 files onto the LG-G2 after 5-10 files. After disconnect and reconnect the USB connection i can copy again 5 to 10 files and then the connection lost / freeze again. Windows "says" it is not able to copy the file and abort.
The Problem also happens as .jpg files. But what i observe is, that the connection is only lost, if i transfered files are bigger then ~4MB. If i use ~2MB files the problem not occure
In USB setting of the LG the "MTB" is enabled,
Is this a know problem and is therfore a solution ?
Thx for help !
Best regards

Hi,
I make on more observation.
If i copy the files one by one, then i can copy infinite files. So thats hard, if you want to copy a few albums to the phone . But if i try to copy more then 10 files in one procedure, then the USB connection hangs.
The same probleme occures on a second PC with Windows 8.
regards

I have the same issue here, I don't know how to fix it, I'm running last cm11, from 0324
win7 or win8.1, same issue
Try putting all your music in one folder and copying them like that. If that doesnt work then upgrade your drivers
Ok, this i an weird problems.
Connected via usb. I could see my Note 4 on Windows Explorer.
Could see Internal Storage and SDCard.
Could access both Storage.
However when i try to view the Folders contents. The crash error popup and Windows Explorer is restarting.
When i try to copy or move out the folder. Windows Explorer just froze. Can see mouse icon on busy mode. Can move the mouse. But cant minimize or close Windows Explorer. Need to shut it via Task Manager.
The process continued. Tested it with iPad. Same problems. I wouldnt hope that to happen on External HDD though,
:crying:
Try using a different port, preferably one directly on motherboard, and of course try a different, high quality cable. Good luck.
On my Nexus 7 running Android 6.0.1 build number MOB30X, I cannot detect files or folders using a my File manager or when connected to my Win 10 PC. Another Nexus 7 usng the sames lead connects to PC perfectly and File manager works fine. the problem arose when my grandson broke screen on his Fire tablet and I wanted to transfer his Minecraft files to another tablet. I managed to get the files off his old device and uploaded to Dropbox The Tablet I wanted to transfer to works perfectly on all the games etc. but I cannot get to the relevant folder. I have got hold of another older Nexus and was able to transfer the files. why wont the other one allow access to the folders?
