[Q] Problems with USB Drive

Well, when I connect the device to my PC in order to transfer files to it, it shows the contents of the SD folder, which is fine. I transfer my files inside, which is also fine, but when I disconnect/change the connection mode to 'charge only', I attempt to access the files on the ES Explorer, only to find that the file is not there.
If I connect it to the PC once more, the file is shown (on the PC, the Android doesn't show it).
So for now, what I do, is reboot, transfer all the files in wm, and then boot Android. But I don't think that's a solution.
I have this rom
Thanks in advance.

[Q] How to transfer files FROM Nexus to Computer

So my last Android phone the Samsung Captivate had USB Mass Storage support, and the phone would show up as a drive on Windows Explorer. This Nexus has only MTP and Photo transfer support.
Both seem to show up properly on my computer, however, when I try to transfer an entire folder to my computer (Titanium Backup), it will only transfer the folder and none of the contents. If I try to do a select all, it will only transfer one or two of the backup files in titanium backup. This is very annoying, what am I doing wrong? Is there a way to get USB Mass Storage support?
I also tried mounting it through TWRP recovery but this doesn't work at all.

Android File Transfer has never worked for me on Mac going back to several of my android devices as far back as the OG Epic/Epic 4G/S3. The only Android phones it ever worked with for me were oddly Nexus devices, Nexus S 4G and Galaxy Nexus (could have something to do with those phones not having external SD and the way the internal NAND is set up).
Anyway, i'd suggest you just use your memory card to move things back and forth or do what i do which is use FTP wireless between phone and Mac. I use Transmit on the Mac and ES File Explorer (file manager) and SwiFTP (FTP server) on the phone. Never have to plug and unplug USB or take out memory card. My Mac's I.P address is mapped to ES File Explorer and i just browse it and copy back and forth whatever i want OR i run SwiFTP on the phone and browse it from the Mac.
Of-course there are tons of other FTP apps out there you can look into that work just fine as well.
I do find it odd that even mounting via TWRP does not work for you. At least that works fine for me but who wants to turn off their phone anytime they want to transfer a file..

USB OTG - Is USB storage Read-only?

So I've got the Google USB-C OTG cable to go with my Nexus 6 and have connected a 32GB USB Flash Drive. It gets recognised by my phone and I can read all of the contents that I put on there using my PC, however if I attempt to write to the USB at all from my phone, either by creating a folder or copying files/folders onto it, using ES File Explorer, I just get an error, "The operation is not supported".
I also get the same error on my Pixel C.
Is this an issue with ES File Explorer? Or do I have to root my devices to write to external USB storage? (Both are currently un-rooted and I don't wish to root them)
You can try Nexus Media Importer. It works with my 6P. If it doesn't work for you, you can get the refund.
Looks like ES File Explorer was the problem. I tried USB OTG File Manager for Nexus and that worked.
I suppose ES needs a few updates for proper OTG Support

USB Files transfer

Hi, I have a trouble with my G6 since I buyed it a year ago, I've never be able to transfer files to my pc, allways crashes my pc when I try to transfer the files from the internal storage.
Also I have tried to transfer the files to the SD card in the mobile with ES File Explorer but also I cant do it. Any solution?
You can always start with installing the drivers. Most times windows can handle it just fine, but if there are crashes, installing a driver pack can solve the issue
Also, use Driver Booster to update other drivers, you may be having problems with more internal stuff such as SATA controllers

Seems like your pc has some kind of problem. Try using the asus file manager for now: It creates a ftp server. You type the ip adress shown (on your browser) and then you get a file explorer. It's a good way to transfer files without having to connect the phone via USB
