The trade-off requires that:Īndroid can no longer ever yield up the storage for the host PC to Unified storage prevents wasted space (no more separate storage for phone / data, and having one fill up first and having confused frustrated users trying to move apps to SD, etc). However, when it comes to the phone memory, there was a trade-off made in Honeycomb. At least Android still supports that, but your Manufacturer or Carrier-ware may still fail you here. If your device has removable storage it should still support USBMS (with a drive letter) for that partition. You can usually choose on the phone between MTP, or PTP (Media / Photo Transfer protocols) for whichever your OS supports better.

Then in the options, turn on the "Remote Manager" option, which will activate the FTP server and show you its local address like "192.168.1.3:3721.
Install "ES File Explorer" on your Android Device. It was much easier with something like a Droid X (Android 2.3), since it would show up as a mass storage device (disconnecting the card from your phone in the meantime), but it's also possible on newer phones such as the LG G3 if you're willing to install 2 free programs, which you probably would like to have anyway.ĮS File Explorer - Remote Manager (FTP Server)įirst, you need a file manager, not only because the built-in one is useless, but also because you need an FTP server.
