Astro and ES do not see microSD or USB plugged into dock
Asus file manager is great, but all my files are long and truncated... I can't customize (get rid of size, date columns) ...sometimes literally pisses me off why they have so much white space in there, yet my filenames are truncated.

Actually, Astro sees your Removable storage just fine. You just have to set up the paths in Preferences.
Im in the same boat. Preferences only gives me the internal memory as a path so the shortcut takes me to the same place.

I see what you mean. I had Astro set for /Removable/MicroSD as the external SD card directory,but when I went to check it after your post it suddenly gives me the internal SD path as the external SD. I am guessing that something happened after the latest update to confuse Astro? I can still navigate to /Removable/MicroSD, but I can no longer set it as the default in Preferences as the external SD card.
I am using root explorer. It sees the micro sd card just fine, it gives it the name /removable i think. I have not tried a usb stick though. I use it since it allows me to edit /system files once rooted.
If rooted definitely root explorer.
They all show up under /removable/micro SD,SD,etc.
I have used & owned them all & hands down I think root explorer is #1

I looked at Root Explorer on the Market, but the few specifications there did not mention if it could do Samba. Do you know if it can? One of the reasons I have been using Astro is because it can Samba into my desktop PC's file system.
Ghost commander for file's transfers and File Manager HD for rest. That is my combination.
+1 File Manager HD.

I def prefer root explorer for everything. However ES is great because I can access my book live on my home network. As far as I know root exp does not support this.
yeah I use ES for my sensation and it is great, cant be beat.
But not the same story with ATP.
I recently downloaded FX File Explorer and it seems pretty good. It also allows FTP and Samba connections. Here is a link to the market: https://market.android.com/details?id=nextapp.fx&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5leHRhcHAuZngiXQ..

Anyone else having problems with Astro file manager? After updating to 3.0.203 Astro would not work on my nook, but it works fine on my cell phone. Now when I try to access the sd card I would get this message saying "directory does not exist, create error writing file". Root explorer has no problem mounting the sd. any ideas?
There is a hidden second column, pull it out from the extreme right.
WOW! totally miss that. its like a secret trap door. not sure if i like this update. once again, thanks joe
Yeah, I think I like the older version better, everything is way too blue and bloated now. I liked how lite weight Astro was...
After being used Astro for months w/o issue, just after update to new version, I got FC when running it.
I had the same problem, but i had to set the right path in Astro preferences. Open Astro, go to Preferences and there set "Removable/MicroSD" for External storage and "Removable/USBdisk1" for pen drive. Hope it helps.
*And sorry for my bad English.
Whoa I was having this problem too. I'll have to try the secret 2nd column. I agree, the old version was way better. Every time I open it now I just stare at it confused. I've been primarily using File Expert for a while now.
Does Astro with the SMB plug in work? It crashes for me all the time. That is why I use File Expert.
Is is possible ? I heard there was Camera Connection Kit that helped camera transfer directly photos to iPad.
So, can we do this with Nook Tablet?
You could use something like Google plus or Dropin.

I transfer photos easily. I use a micro sd card in my camera ( with an sd adapter) and just pop the micro sd card into my nt. I use es file explorer to copy and paste onto my nt. I have created a folder in /data just for photos and videos from my camera. You have to change permissions on the /data folder to create the sub folder and then just change them back. I also made a shortcut on my desktop to the folder i made for easy access. The only hitch with this is that the photos don't show up in the gallery app, but when you select the photo in file explorer it will give you app options to open and view.
Doh, I was thinking you were talking about pictures on your phone.

Thank you . Can we use the Nook like a usb host ?

Nope, I mean 2 separate devices and connect them without internet or PC
I don't believe the nt has usb hosting enabled.
The NC allowed for Eye-FI to be used, which is a wifi enabled sd card that beams pics to your pc, phone, or whatever, but I don't think the app is able to be used on the NT...not in my brief attempt anyway.
There is a very good chance this will work with roms in the near future
EyeFi X2 SDcard in my camera works very well with the Nook Tablet and the EyeFi App on the market. The perfect mobile combination to instantly view images on a larger display such as the NT.
So I have a motorola photon and when I connect to my PC the full internals are viewable for me.
With my new prime all I see are transfer folders and limited number of internal folders. I cannot see the storage partition of the prime like I can on my Photon. Is there something wrong with my tablet? Do I need a special app? What am I missing here?
The Prime does not mount the SD card as a drive the way you are used to on your Photon. The Prime uses MTP, same as the new digital cameras. This allows you access to your media folders, but not system folders. A quick work-around is to copy the files you want to one of the media folders, then use a file browsing app like Root Explorer to move it from the media folder to your desired location on the internal memory.

Yea I found the thread on ES File Explorer once I figured out the proper terms to narrow down my search to my problem and used that to transfer over my kindle books and the like.
Why can't I hold all these folders?
Sent from my tablet thing with XDA Premium.
I've resorted to using FTP (DroidFTP Pro) in order to get the files where I want them.. MTP is so annoying.
My new phone works great and i love it.. only my SDCARD has been split up!
i have my root folder and then an /SDCARD and /SDCARD2 while 2 is the original with all my data. Media folder with ringers etc. odd thing is it picks up pictures from the DCIM folder. when i plug into my pc i just see the entire list. i previously had ICS on my Evo3d so i know it shouldn't be this but does anyone have any ideas? This is my first time on XDA since getting the phone, i havent checked the HBOOT specs or anything/Rooting etc yet.
Any ideas please share.
Thanks,
Justin

TBH, I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, however sdcard2 is the one you installed and sdcard is internal to the phone. So your card isn't really split. HTH.
AH-HA~!
So how do i simply move my audio ringtones/notifications easily... my PC only mounts the "SDCARD2" do i need a manual job in ES or ASTRO?

Mount it as Media Sync. You'll get both.
You can use esfile explorer, its what I like to do

Hey there!
So I usually use the magnetic charger I have on my desk. Because of this I've found wireless media transfer to be very convenient.
However, its performance is rather poor and very inconsistent:
- Creating new folders makes it crash.
- Random dropouts.
- stuck in "Awaiting connection"
- The fact that you need to scroll like 3 menus to get there.
So I was wondering if anyone knows about a reliable app that does wireless file transferring (for both internal memory and SD card)?
Airdroid.
i use MiXplorer as my file manager. it allows setting up of your phone as an FTP server, which appears on my pc as a folder, from which i can drag/drop/copy files just like any other pc folder
SHAREit

Tried it, too funky, lots of bugs and files over 10mb require premium.

How do you configure it? I was unable to use it as an FTP server?
I use for every transfer from/to Phone WLAN FTP -> I use FileZilla! Fast an stable.
To build the FTP server on Phone I use Solid Explorer (old version - not 2.x) - Same File Mananger I use anyway.

Sure! Internal and external.
EDIT
I just tried this MiXplorer - And it seams that it has some problems with FTP, indeed.
In my short test I didn't make to show files which are in folders. So browsing through folders and file was not possible correctly. Don't know why.
I'll stay with Solid Explorer. Even if the UI (of 1.x version) is not looking very up-to-date. But there is also an 2.x with Material design.

Bought iOS app when I had the iPhone, then kept using it, it syncs new media with a touch of a button, makes new folders etc.
with xender you can transfer anything you want between phones, or computer.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cn.xender

I'm using an old version of ES file explorer, back when it didn't have all that crap. Transfer is easy as a breeze between devices.
