Hello if you are not able to find the usbStorage folder in the My Files Application on the android do the following. .
1. Open the My Files Application.
2. Click on your options and select RENAME
3.You will see the usbStorage folder now and just make the first letter Capital.
You should be all set. The My Files app will see it now.
Good Luck.

instead of USB try MTP mode and see
same in MTP as well
Try ticking "USB debugging mode", that will make your phone storage recognisable by the computer as actual drives instead of virtual drives. If that doesnt work try mock locations, I heard that can solve some problems if theyre on the computer end.

Me too having the same problem ...Is it solved or yet to be solved ??
Are You rooted?
Give full info about phone...
Problem could be with your Cable or USB Port.
Try changing USB Ports.
If you are Confident about USB Port working well.
Then Try changing a Cable. Always Use original One. And Dont use large cable as it would just Decrease the data Speed.
Hope it helps, Cheers
Peace
Hit Thanks & It will Disappear

I am not quite sure but if you are on a custom rom sometimes some problems like this exist. But if the stock firmware donno whether its the Software error or the cable. So just try update cable with another one.
To help you more I need some more details. So that I can help u

USB alimentation, UMS, country version...

Hello,
I just got my i9100 (and surprisingly not a G neither P..!) and i have few questions. It's running on ICS LPW firmware. First I'd like to know how i make sure this is a phone from my country and not another.
Next i'd like to know how to know how to be in UMS mode (mass storage transfer) when i connect the device to the computer, without having to go in settings, plus, usb, mass storage...
I've had a Galaxy Note before and when pluging USB, i just scroll down notifications, select usb and then just switch to UMS... Here selecting USB in the notification bring me to choose either MTP or some photo mode...
Last thing : Is there a way to make the i9100 able to power on some 2'5 external hard drive (i have Western Digital Passport) just like the Galaxy i9300 (SIII) can do? I just tried and nothing happened... Maybe with some other kernel..?
Thanks.

To connect in UMS mode,
Go to Settings > Wireless & Network > USB utilities and click the button > then (and ONLY then) plug in USB cable

You might not know it's been removed forever since the 15th. I have my copy anyway, and of course i installed it before asking... Still having missing plugin icon.

[Q] Trouble with MTP

I searched on the web and found some similar problems but not an answer to what is happening to my phone.
My GS3 is running CheckROM v5.5 android 4.1.1 and I cannot connect it succesfully to any computer via USB.
Inicially, after I got CheckROM, it was working, but I don't know what I did that made it stop working.
I've tried to connect it to a PC and a Mac, tried with Kies and without it. On the mac also tried with and without the Android File Transfer.
I tried with USB Debugger on and off, too.
I am almost certain the problem is in the phone, because when I plug it there is no message about choosing MTP or Camera mode, or anything like that, it's just like I am charging it on the wall.
Also, I am able to sync it to Kies with Wi-fi connection on my PC.
What I really want is to be able to transfer music and larger files to the phone via USB.
My phone does not have an external SD card, just internal memory. Is there something I'm missing that can fix this?
Sorry about any english mistakes ;}

The phone won't be detected by the computer. It does not appear on windows explorer.
Then you have no drivers install drivers see sticky on page one of General .

[Q]cant connect

hi. the problem im having is that i cant connect my phone to transfer files such as music and photos. i can use apps like airdroid and kies but want to discover the problem and have an easier way off organizing my files from computer to phone.
i recently flashed cm-9-20121209-NIGHTLY-galaxys2.zip then installed gapps-ics-201204929-signed.zip from internal storage.
thats the only two things i have done.
a window used to pop up when i plugged in the usb and it would also appear on 'MyComputer' folder. but neither happen now. I still get the connected sound when i connect the phone. I have tried different usb slots on my computer and have tried turning my phone off and on and rebooting it.
do i need a special driver for the cyanogenmod rom? thats the only thing i can think of!
anyone have any suggestions?
thanks

broken screen and touch :(

hi all,
I broke both display and touchscreen on my galaxy s5
I need to recover the photos I have on the phone, can anybody help?
I have both a linux and a windows computer, and the stock samsung firmware on the phone (probably android 4.2)
I was reading online that an option would be flashing the firmware to allow me to enter recovery mode, but wouldn't I lose all photos and the whole content of the phone if I flash it? - I haven't got a Sd card in the phone: all images are stored in the internal memory.
Needless to say I can't get anything by simply connecting the phone to a PC:
- on a windows PC, the phone gets recognized and mounted, but it's seen as empty
- on a linux (mint) PC, I tried with mtp but it tells me "couldnt parse extension samsung.com/devisestatus:1"..
any suggestion on how to proceed? Thanks!

If your screen doesn't turn on after a disastrous fall, don't worry, there is a solution:
Look for [Vysor].
This is a Google Chrome extension that you can download from the internet, really easy to use, just install it on the browser and connect your phone to your computer.
Good luck :good:

Nope. That requires Debugging mode to be activated. And I can't activate it as monitor and touchscreen don't work
