I want to back up all the files on my LG G2's internal storage.
I used to do this on my old phones by plugging in usb and the Sd card would be mounted as a Mass Storage device that I could copy and paste from.
The LG G2 only connects to the computer using MTP (Media Sync).
When I went to copy from the MTP storage, I get to stare at "Calculating the time required to copy the files."
Its been doing this for about an hour.
How can I get my Internal Storage to my computers Hard Drive?

The MTP protocol is a bit buggy and what you've described isn't uncommon. A lot of the folders on the internal storage are actually unnecessary so best suggestion is to only backup what you truly need (personal files, photos, music, 'Android folder', etc) which has a higher chance of working than copying absolutely everything.
Your best bet is to grab a OTG cable and a large USB drive and transfer the contents using a file explorer app like ES file explorer. That has always given me the best and quickest results.

Just upgraded my X2 to R3AA05, but when I connect X2 with Windows 7 using USB & Windows Mobile Device Center the storage card is not showing any files inside, bit it is detected.
The disk usage and free space of storage is showing but not showing any files inside and i cannot transfer files from storage to computer and so reverse, both import and export. I can install any application inside storage card and working very well, but still if i connect the storage with computer it shows nothing files inside.
I able to see my storage files only in File Explorer, but not in computer
I was trying to transfer files into it, the Windows 7 error message said: "The devices has either stopped responding or has been disconnected | Stop copying | Skip this file"
Appreciate any solutions. I only able to transfer files from phone memory..
Thanks!

all i have to do is format the storage card using adapter card reader on my computer, turn off your phone, insert your storage, turn on your phone, voila!
I'm trying to get some accidentally deleted files off of my old (SCH-i760) phone, but it appears as a phone, and not HDD. Though I can browse the files, I cannot use any software to scan it. Is there anything I can do to make it appear as just a plain HDD?
EDIT: Nevermind. I don't know how but I got all the files.
Help too.
I have the same problem i want to know how to mount my internal phone memory as a drive on my pc i cannot find the solution to this anywhere.
Help please
You can't do it.
If it is on a storage card you can connect the card directly in a USB card reader, and mount it as a drive on your PC, but the program and storage memory of the device is another story.
Windows Explorer through Activesync, or Visual Studio's remote file Viewer (ccfilevw.exe), are the only ways to access the storage memory. Both go through Activesync to get to the device, but you do not have the ability to undelete files.
man i must sound like a real noob but how in the hell can you transfer files from a sd card or usb drive to the iconia they both show in applications tried drive mount they wont mount tried es file explorer see usb drive and sd storage when i open them there isnt anything in them i have clockwork installed and rooted with iconia root i can install other roms if i put sd card in a card reader to tranfer files wont even see in my computer i see storage but nothing in there either any help is appreciated driving me nuts only in xoom rom can i see storage on computer actually shows 2 drives
In file managers you'll find them under /mnt/ The sd is actually under "external_sd" and the usb is something similar like "usb_drive"
If you have been saving things so far they are most likely in the internal storage which is actually mounted as if it's an internal sd card (/sdcard/ or /mnt/internal_sd i think).
Help!!
I am running stock 3.2 unrooted and when I connect to pc and browse to internal storage, I can't see the files/folders created on tablet.
Any idea how I can get computer to see all files on internal memory. This is driving me nuts!!
I'm having problems transfering files to my S4 (M919) on both internal and external SD, the issue is when im transfering files bigger than 1GB just before it finishes I get the messeage "the device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected", I looked for someone with a similar problem here in the forums and found that maybe enabling mass storage instead of MTP could solve this and it didn't work, I was trying to copy a 4.3GB file to my external sd in mass storage mode and now a message pops up saying that theres not enough space and file cannot be copied when there is 29.3GB free on the SD and only reads my external and not the internal memory can someone please help I'm getting tired of this I can't even copy a file to my phone, thanks.
Also the phone is rooted with clockwork touch 6.0.3.2, I have tried different USB ports and different computers and its all the same, I'm also using the stock cable.
