Here's how you can access your memory card via wifi even when your phone isn't connected to any routers. It is some form of "adhoc" connection.
On your phone, install "File Expert" from market this allows you to access your files via HTTP or FTP
On your PC, you can use Filezilla or any FTP transfer prog. HTTP is also fine.
Turn on wifi tethering on your phone and connect your laptop to it.
Open File Expert and use either FTP or HTTP and follow the config instructions tadah!
This came about when I needed to access my memory card while I was out without a usb cable and bluetooth transferring a large file took waaaay too long
If your phone supports FTP transfer you can also transfer between phones using this method.
Enjoy!
Awesome!!! Thanx!

I want to connect to my desktop PC and transfer files to and from the XDA with USB and without using activesync. Is it possible?
I think it cannot work without activesync and usb.
You need an intranet connection to your device to put files on it.
The best way for you is to buy a cardreader and a memory card.

is there any method to put the xda in a intranet without any optional accessories?
I'm on dial-up at home.. is there any program or anything I can install on my Hero to download files onto its SD card (through HTTP or torrents) and then transfer them to my computer from there, without having to tether?
Simply put, yes this is quite possible. However, it's a multi-part answer.
From the browser/GMail app (among others) you can download certain file types. Other file types are supposedly not supported, but I'm sure there are ways around that. Perhaps the Dolphin browser would allow you to download any file type, but I'm not sure, I don't use it.
Once you've downloaded the files you want, simply plug in your Hero to your PC, then on your phone, drag the notification area down and click the "USB Connected" notification to turn on USB mode. This will essentially transform the phone and its SD card to a USB drive for your computer, so you can use Finder/Explorer/Nautilus to browse the SD card and copy any files you want. I believe the HTC browser puts files in /downloads/, other apps might use other locations.
I'm using the Samsung Galaxy S T959 2.1 of TMobile
I have installed on my computer samsung drivers for mobile and Kies.
My computer is using Win 7 32-bit
Everyday, I plug the cable into my PC and choose Mount, after that I copy data from PC to Samsung normally
Today, when the cable attached to the PC, then select Mount, also appears that 2 drives H & I but I can't copy data to SamSung. When I copied, the PC alert :
Copying
Discovering items.....
Time remain : Calculating
Data Transfer : Calculating
How then is run from morning to noon without the copy is complete, although I only have a 1MB image file. Reset your computer and the SS, but still the same error.
So my computer is corrupted or SS that you failed? I try to connect your computer with the N95, the copy machine is normal.
please help me how to I can copy data normally ?
i had a problem copying files to my vibrant, I formated my internal 16gb memory and it fixed the problem.
i think its
settings>sd phone storage>format.
I would uninstall kies. I never use it. After you do that plug in the phone and you should then use the top pull down menu and it will have a connect usb icon and button. hit that it will then say connected and it will open 2 folders F and G or something like that one is the internal sd and the other is the external And do what the posting said format the external sd card if it is new or you have not yet. you can do it on the computer it would be fat-32 ONLY
If you have wifi you can use the app Wifi File Explorer. Costs about $1 for the Pro version. I use it all the time for transferring files. Very easy and works great. You access your phones storage using your PC web browser. No cables, no problems.

Thanks! I just tried that App. It works great. It doesn't seem to see my MicroSD card though, only the internal memory shows up (on my Vibrant).......unless I am missing something.

Shows up on mine. Look for the sd folder. If you see "Up To Parent Directory" at the top of the directory list click on it because you're not at the root directory level. From root you should see sd/.
When I hook my tablet up to the PC via USB, I get a drive letter in Windows. When I open that drive, there are files in there- however, I can't find where these files are on the tablet when I look there. There are folders in the PC view like Android, data, DCIM, Download, kindle, LOST.DIR, media, and .android_Secure and .HuffPost. However, these are not folders on my SD card (which would be /sdcard2) or my internal /SDcard folder. I've tried hunting and pecking through the tablet file structure and doing searches on the files in the folders, but I can't find where the location I see on the PC is on the tablet.
Any help? Big thanks in advance. I successfully rooted the tablet using the TNT_Lite ROM, and haven't noticed any other problems.
debug mode....
I've found the same...sort of. Sometime I get that it is in debug mode and I can't access file, and other times it does mount fine and I can access the files.
It's not that. When USB Debugging is on, I can't see the tablet in Windows.
Just to ask while waiting for a better answer- when everyone here connects their G tablet via USB to their PC, what area do they connect to?
Not sure if this is any different from Vegan's setup but I'm assuming it isn't.
The files and folders you listed when you connect your tablet to your pc via usb are in the "/sdcard" directory. On vegan tab at least, it is set up so that your internal memory (the 16 gb or whatever it is that is built into the tablet) is accessed through the folder /sdcard. What you may be confusing this with is either the /sdcard2, which would be an external microsd card, or the root ("/") directory of your tablet.
All of You,

Hi.
I have my Galaxy S3 for some time now, and i want to transfer some music to my phone.
I have an SD Card with 64gb and of course, a computer
now what happens is that i start copying some music to my phone but after a few the phone simply disconnect and connect, which makes the file transfer very hard. (unless i'm gonna move song after song...)
Obviously this is not how the phone should work so this is why i am here.
Try Kies Air or Airdroid which are wireless transfers.

That happened to me too but only one time while transferring 5GB of music from my computer to my SD card so it wasn’t terrible. You can use the tools mentioned by sriram231092, or put your files on any of your clouds storage, then download them to your phone and transfer them to your SD card.
Edit: I found out reading Boeffla-Config Settings that if you have Boeffla Kernel, you can change the USB connection as UMS on demand, which simplify data transfer:
http://www.boeffla-kernel.de/non-joomla/en/bc-settings.html#Overview said:
1.1 UMS Mode
Default: Off
Expected impact: Make external phone SD card available as drive on an USB-connected PC
With Android 4.x versions, Google decided to only use the MTP (media transfer protocol) for communication when you connect your device to a PC.
This prevents the memory to show up as a drive but only as a device.
By toggeling this checkbox, the external SD card gets unmounted internally (not accessible from the phone anymore) and the protocol is switched from MTP to UMS (usb mass storage) to make it appear as a normal USB drive on your PC. This simplifies data transfer a lot.
Please do not forget to untick this again after you finished using the connection, so it gets mounted and visible on your Android device again.
Note: When this does not properly work, it is most likely an issue with USB drivers installed on your PC.
