Hi
Is that possible to mount root filesystem to Windows or access it via ftp protocol? (using whichever cable, WiFi or BlueTooth)
This had helped me too much. I'm having additional fonts and ringtones so I might easily update the phone content with my PC.
Try airdroid.

Thanks dude
Does it support root access?
I have tried this long ago and I think it only supports access via web interface.
Yeah I found it in description
"Enjoy below features after installation from the comfort of your favorite web browser on Windows/Mac/Linux computer or other devices:"
I need it as ftp or mounted filesystem (eg. as network drove)
ur right,it it only supports access via web interface ...personally i use Samba Filesharing for Android ... this is by far the best way to access phone storage as i can mount sdcard as network drive....and it's free.have a look at it.

Yup I have this app installed but tho it asks for root access it never offers root filesystem only sdcard
Just a while ago I found this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=berserker.android.apps.ftpdroidpro
so does this app support root acess?
No, none is working for me (

Can any tell me if their is an app. like Bluetooth File Transfer where it connects to your pc/mac but shows the computers files on the phone not like all the WIFI apps. I have found that you have to access via a website on your computer.
I want to be able to transfer my file to my computer and from my computer using the phone.
Is this not possible with WIFI???

You can try phone explorer (need desktop client too) or <web sharing> (search in the market)
the file sharing app can use your browser to log in to your device storage to upload and download through wifi, however free version can only download and upload one file at the time.
the phone explorer got more function, you can send SMS through it, mod your calender and contact and so on, can download and upload multiple file through wifi to your phone and vise versa.
i would recommend phone explorer, but it quite unstable when your wifi strength is not good or too much traffic on your wifi. So you can try to use web sharing as backup but the function will be very limited.
i use this it works pretty well.
Download "ES File Explorer" from market it works perfect. I'm using it and never failed...

Thank you all, alex.under this is exactly what I was looking for, they others just having me sitting a the pc/mac the whole time but es file explorer lets me be away from the computer and still transfer files directly from my phone.
Is there any way to browse and/or transfer files via wifi from a windows 7 pc to the G Tab. I am using File Expert to root browse, and it does have a tab for network drives. How do I get them connected. I have several drives on several machines on my network that are visible to each other.

If you use a custom kernel, and you add the cifs kernel module, then cifsmanger (in the app store) can mount shares.
Wifi File Explorer:

Simple, gets the job done
You could also use Samba to make your G-tab a network share on your computer. That is what I do and when I need to access the g-tab, I just open my network on my Windows 7 computer and it is just like any other network share. You can't access the external sdcard (sdcard2). This will not allow you to access the root of your g-tab but I find that that is a good thing... can't delete system stuff that way!

EStrongs File Explorer (Free on the Market).
From your GTAB you can connect to your Wi-Fi LAN to Browse directories, Copy, Move, Edit files, Folders etcc.. that are shared or visible on your network.
It even supports Bluetooth and FTP protocals.
Drawback.
Even though you can see network files from your PC via your GTAB you wont be able to see files and folders that are on your GTAB via your PC on the network.
There is a method for that capability but I've yet to tinker with it since the blog I found it on is from November 2010.

Ive always just used File Expert even on CM7. Its pretty easy to set up a Windows file share over wifi.

Or you can just turn on MTP in settings and plug in like usual.

Yes you can use mtp unless you have a win xp system like mine. I have an Acer aspire with win xp sp3. I have tried all the fixes posted as well as modifying the inf files but cannot get mtp mode to work. Airdroid works just fine and it is a small issue to work around. I love ICS on my TP and I am sure the small things will get ironed out in time. Everyone involved in this work has done a great job and I see great things to come for this dead device.

This app is still great if you don't want to have to mess around with pluging it into your Pc I will give it a try thanks !
Samba File sharing (on the market) works fine, you can then map your TouchPad as a network drive in windows (makes it easy to put stuff on it, take stuff of) Just install it, set a password, and enable the share, and then map a drive using the info on the screen. Super easy. (Needs root and working SU)
If you install the Bricks kernal, you can use CIFS manager or Mount Manager to map a network drive to the TP, which allows you to then access files directly over WiFi without having to copy them to the TP first (a normal network share). I found it finicky to get set up, but was able to access my Windows SBS server and Win 7 systems.
Moshe5368 have you tried enabling mtp and disabling debugging? I'm using winxp and that's how I got it working.

We have a filesystem at work which I use very often. On my Windows laptop I simply mount an NFS drive (map network disk). Can I mount an NFS folder in ICS? If not, is there any other way of accessing network disks?

I've used File Expert to connect to network drives. Works with windows and Mac networks just fine.

Like Windows you'll need NFS software installed to do that, and Android doesn't come with them any more than Windows XP did. So few people if anyone have tried an NFS mounter, people usually use CIFS/SMB - which is what Windows networks usually uses for file shares and maps, not NFS.
Samba File Sharing in the market for anserver to make your prime accessible to other systems.
Any app that can deal with SMB/CIFS shares, like most big name file managers or CifsManager (maps network drive[sic]).
SSHFS is also possible if you have a SSH server and the right software on the client wanting to mount. I have both on my tablet. SSHFS is like mappig a network drive but more secure.

Yes, you can mount a network drive to your device if it is rooted. See this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1442928
Or you could use this tweaker to load the cifs and md4 modules (by checking their boxes in the app), then use the cifsmanager app to mount your drive.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1473520
sigh, people need to realize CIFS(SMB) is NOT NFS ...
For the OP, it looks like the kernel has NFS_FS enabled, but you'll want/need nfs-utils built in order to mount (and you'll need root). (note: NFSv3 and NFSv4 are not enabled in the kernel, but a dev could probably build those modules easily enough).
Thank you for your comments. I have mixed up things in my original post. I use NFS from my Linux box, but I mount Samba share from my Windows laptop. I have found an app called AndSMB that allows my accessing Samba shares from the Prime. However, it doesn't mount a proper network folder, it only allows browsing network folders and downloading network files.
I believe CifsManager can mount a network directory, but it needs root access. Is it true that every software mounting a drive/directory would need a rooted system? I don't really want to root my Prime...
Dear all,
I had been using an old HTC Glacier with Android 2.3 until last week and just the I've got a new S5. Android 4.4 is very new to me, so I am sorry for the newbie questions.
It's my understanding that Google changed permissions so that apps cannot access the external card. Can rooted devices and/or custom ROMs allows that? (I plan to install the Project Infiity ROM soon.)
With my old phone (using CM 7) I could connect it via USB and have it recognized as a Mass Storage Device. Do custom ROMs allow that still?
Thanks!
Luis
#1. you can use foldermount app to link internal sd's folders with external card
#2. since 4.3 USB mass storage have been removed in favor of MTP. I have not seen any new custom ROM with usb mass storage. However you can still browse your internal and external sd when you hook your phone to a computer, just know that MTP has piss poor speed.

MTP is where your device shows up as a "media player" or camera and is not assigned a drive letter. You can still access your files, but is much more restricted to where you can only copy, paste and delete. In order to modify or even rename you must copy them first, then do your modifications and then push them back. They did it this way to better protect the Android filesystem.
Now, with your S5 it is still possible to mount as mass storage. You will need root. If you have root, get terminal emulator and enter in su (to get su privileges) and then type "setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage". DOING THIS DOES THE JOB BUT CAN POTENTIALLY MESS UP YOUR DEVICE. DO NOT USE THIS METHOD WITH MAC DEVICES. ONLY WINDOWS/LINUX. Windows XP recommended. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the fast response! I was also wondering why MTP has such a lousy speed?

Because MTP hosts a virtual filesystem, where the internal sd is secured and protected from the computer, whereas mass storage is a direct.

Understood. Also an app called WiFi file transfer has awesome xfer speeds for moving files to and from the PC.

Have you tried this last "hack" with the GS5? That sounds great, although your remarks scare me a bit. (I'm virtually always on Linux, though, and own no Mac.)
Thanks again!

I have not tried this with an S5 but I can confirm that this works with some S3's and S4's (doesn't work on Verizon/Sprint versions, got it to work once on at&t, however it would be logical to assume it's processor dependant as these devices come in multiple processor variants; my guess is it doesn't work on ARM and does on Exynos.)
Idk, it's worth a try, you will only mess up your device if you don't "safely remove hardware" during write.
