After doing multiple searches, it seems there have been a few discussions about phone-chromebook USB connectivity but no real solutions. I recently got a chromebook and now that it is my primary, and only, computing device I am interested in exploring it's full capabilities. I will describe the specifics of my situation but I am hoping this thread will provide a useful resource to discuss all chromebook to phone USB connectivity issues.
Background:
I recently (within past 4 days) replaced both my phone and laptop. My previous setup was an HP laptop with windows 7 and the Sprint SGS4 (rooted with Sacs23 rom on JB 4.3). I am now using the Toshiba Chromebook 2 (stock) and Verizon SGS6 (stock lollipop and unrooted).
Needless to say I am experiencing some serious adjustment / withdrawl issues. I have used a chrome browser for years but there is still a learning curve to a chromebook coming from windows.
Before getting rid of my SGS4 I made backups (TB pro to external SD and dropbox, as well as with Helium backup).
My primary goal is to restore my previous apps and settings. (the Samsung Smart transfer in the store was a bust).
Problems:
Here are the issues I have run into (using the USB quick charging cable that came with the SGS6):
-Phone is not recognized / seen at all using the USB3 port.
-Phone is visible in files app using the USB2 port, but I get constant pop-ups “whoa there, be careful.” The chomebook appears to be constantly disconnecting from the phone.
-Neither the Helium app on my phone or in the Helium Chrome app recognize that the devices are connected.
- I installed the clockworkmod ABDchrome extension/app but it does not recognize that the phone is connected.
-The files app can see the files on the phone. It appears to be able to copy from the phone but not write to it (options for creating new folder are greyed out)
It seems some of my difficulties may be related to my specific phone setup (Lollipop on Verizon). I have seen prior suggestions to use the “three dots” on the storage screen to select USB transfer mode (I don’t have the three dots on Verizon touch wiz). Another possible solution was to select the USB transfer mode (PTP/MTP) on the popup notification when the devices are connected (Unfortunately, again, I don’t seem to get any popup notifications on my particular setup).
Again, my ultimate goal is to restore my phone apps / settings from my old phone, but I am interested to see if this is possible using the native(ish) capabilities of the chromebook (it may not be possible). I would be interested in any thoughts / suggestions for accomplishing this using the following:
Stock chromebook (i.e. Not installing Linux)
USB connection (i.e. not using Airdroid)
Stock lollipop
SGS6 (unrooted)
If there is no workable solution then would it be possible with a rooted phone? (it appears a root solution for the verizon SGS6 recently became an option)
I appreciate any input!
It's the laptop.
The issue isn't with the GS6, rather it's the Chromebook. It's not just the Toshiba Chomebook, it's just that ChromeOS wasn't built to do phone sync and read/write through USB. This is with every Chromebook in existence. Linux should take care of that for you though. Good day.
Update:
- I went ahead and rooted my phone. I can't live without root
- I learned that the SGS6 does not support USB 3 which explains why it wasn't recognized.
- Noob Lollipop alert. I learned that there was a notification item in the pull down shade to select the USB transfer mode. (I was expecting a pop up alert and never looked in the notifications shade).
Chrome beta channel has an enhancement that will allow photos to be transferred via the PTP and MTP protocols. Go to chrome://flags and find the flag Enable MTP support and enable it, and reboot the computer. Unfortunately, this still didn't work for me. I was still unable to write to the phone (i.e. I could only read and the phone contents but could not make a folder, write to the phone, or transfer files.)
Finally I tried just copying the SD card files to dropbox via chromebook. However, the size of the transfer is several gigabytes and it repeatedly fails part way through. I cannot seem to find a chrome app which provides folder comparison so I have no way of knowing which files transferred. If I restart the transfer there are no options to skip files that already exist. Instead it just starts over again and creates duplicates of the files already transferred.
Still looking for solutions:
- a way for the chromebook to write via USB to an external device (SGS6) possibly by getting chrome MTP support
- A folder comparison webapp that allows the ability to unselect files which are identical. Ideally the webapp would also be able to search the external device to identify duplicate files as well.
The simplest way I can think of to do what you want would be to use an external sd card. As far as I know, you should be able to transfer anything on to that, and from there to the cb. Other than that, you need to disable both your hardware and software verification security settings on it, which is not for the faint of heart at all.
Chrome OS and file transfering.

As it stands with the latest ChromeOS update you can transfer files from your phone to the chromebook. ChromeOS however is unable to write files to the phone. You can do as another poster suggested and use an sd card. (if your phone supports an sdcard)
Chrome has come a long way and maybe sometime in the near future it'll have support to write files to phones.

Right. As I stated in my original post, I can see the files on my phone but I cannot write to the phone. My goal was to get my Titanium Backup files from my old phone to my new phone. The new phone (SGS6) does not have SD card slot so the easy solution is off the table. I eventually found a work around and used the app AirDroid to do a Wi-Fi transfer from the Chromebook SD card to my new phone.
In general, I have settled in to using my chomebook. It is fine for day to day tasks, but it has limitations which can be frustrating - like not being able to write to an external device. On the surface, this seems like an simple and unnecessary oversight. The chromebook could really use a more robust (copy, find duplicates, compare files) file management service/app which would seamlessly work with the sdcard, usb connected devices, and multiple cloud storage locations.

I will have to check out Airdrop. Is that an android app or is it on chrome also? That something I'm interested in. How exactly do you use it on Chrome?
It is an Android app which sets up a direct Wi-Fi link to the chromebook. There are probably others that do the same including file management apps (es file explorer )

Ok, hello, happy users of Sony Tablet S1. This is my first Android and I am simply not sure what to expect. I like it most of time, but sometimes I would prefer my fingers to be little thinner. With mine browsing (especially selecting texts) is nervous.
But that's not the point.
I have bought USB-microUSB cable marked as HTC and connected the tablet to the PC. But... surprise ... first, my computer doesn't see the external SD-card (Windows XP SP3), only the tablet's internal memory. But this is not the worst. When I switch to "Debug Mode", the PC stops identify the tablet and I can't make screenshots (I have already followed the instruction in the topic), DeviceManager starts to mark Sony Tablet with this yellow disgusting exclamation mark. I turn "Debug Mode" off... and that's great, yellow mark disappears and I can copy files from PC to the internal memory of the tablet and vice versa. But without "Debug Mode" I can't make screenshots, right? If so I'm really sad.
What can I do? Can I do anything at all? Oh, you tech gurus, please help me!
friend when I connect I only put music player will not let me even see the memory of the tablet so I recommend you better buy a SD adapter and passes everything that comes with the program and if Anttek apk file Explore with this application can pass things in the phone memory to the SD and viceverze greetings
Bro )), I don't need a SD adapter, I need screenshots. Of course I can wait till Android 4.0 releases (they say you'll be able to screenshot using in-build functionality under this OS). Yet, who knows, when Sony shows up with Android 4 for their tablets.
Problem solved, screenshots taken. Thank you very much.
Another issue.
File Explorer (in Dalvik Debug Manager) doesn't really transfer files from PC to the external SD-card of Sony Tablet, yes, there appears a window of file transfering, but the files transfered actually don't show up on the SD-card. Though I managed to copy a picture, so only certain file-types are allowed to be transferred onto the SD-card or there's a filesize limitation. I don't know I can't copy pdf-files through USB.
Transferring files using USB is too slow. Even on a 3mb mp3 it asks if I want to copy it because it might not be usable. I press ok and it takes another 20 seconds to copy. So I copied 3gb (took about 15 minutes) of music over to the internal hd and then I get a strange error. I close the window and reopen the drive and see that all the music I just transferred is completely gone. WTF IS GOING ON?!?!
I'm getting so many errors accessing the internal drive, creating folders, and copying files. It's almost as if the internal 32gb is useless... I can't use it unless I want to wait 27 minutes to transfer a 1.5gb movie...
Someone reported the same with accessing microSD from USB connection.
Do you get any pop ups on the computer saying that "This device can perform faster if plugged into a USB 2.0 port"?
Also, can I suggest doing a local file transfer over the WiFi?
it's all due to MTP. it is the transfer protocol of the devil.
why google decided this is what their devices should use from 3.x onwards is beyond me.
google's company motto should really be "one step forward, fifteen steps back."

It's so they can unify app storage with data, apparently:
With the unified storage model we introduced in Honeycomb, we share your full 32GB (or 16GB or whatever) between app data and media data. That is, no more staring sadly at your 5GB free on Nexus S when your internal app data partition has filled up -- it's all one big happy volume.
However the cost is that Android can no longer ever yield up the storage for the host PC to molest directly over USB. Instead we use MTP. On Windows (which the majority of users use), it has built-in MTP support in Explorer that makes it look exactly like a disk. On Linux and Mac it's sadly not as easy, but I have confidence that we'll see some work to make this better.

http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/mg14z/whoa_whoa_ics_doesnt_support_usb_mass_storage/
Although I suppose there's no reason they couldn't offer a special Mass Storage mode that locks out running programs. The link also suggests that the external microSDHC card should support mass storage? I don't have a HC/ICS device to know yet, though.
This whole storage "issu" is so not a big deal at all.
It's that way on every honeycomb tablet and it works okay overall.
Sure maybe it's gonna take a while the first time to transfere all your content to your empty device but once all your **** is inside, you don't use it that much and never for such a big amount of data.
The thing with Android is that you can actually directly download the stuff you want on your tablet, no need to plug it into your computer 95% of the time.

which begs the next question,
How easy is it to set up file transfer over the network between Prime and a Windows PC?
Setting up a network with a windows PC is hard, whatever the other device is.
But aside that I'm pretty sure it's fairly easy. And I think Asus software (myNet) can help you do this (never tried)

I used file expert.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda premium
On my desktop PC I have a directory browser setup on my PC that I use any device that accepts IPs as input.
It's a Window's feature that has to be installed separately.
Internet Information Services
I use ES file explorer on N1. I connected it to my Windows PC over wi-fi once and it remembers it. I usually copy files back and forth using my phone only. It is pretty handy.
On prime, I have just installed it but not used it to transfer files, so cant comment on the speed.
DropBox if you're using Windows, SparkleShare if you're not.

+1. After my Prime charging cable fell apart when i tried to unplug it, I had to resort to network transfers and ES file explorer did the job rather painlessly. The only little hurdle I had to jump over, and this might have been user-error on my part, but it asked for a username and password to the machine I was trying to connect to. So I had to add a password to my user account which previously did not have one to get it to connect.
Same here. ES file explorer is great stuff. Just put in the needed IP address for your PC + username/password for the user account, and it gets you in and loads directories pain-free.
I don't intend on connecting my Prime to my PC until a one-click root is in the works =)

Because transfer over WiFi + ES has been significantly faster with every Android device I've ever connected to my laptop.

swift ftp server on the prime and filezilla client on the pc is fast and straightforward
slow as hell
Loading music is a pain but I can deal with it. I dont have internet I tether everything with my 4LTE verizon at 18MB a sec which Iam loving so much I turned off my home internet just use laptops and this now.

NICE! Using SwiFTP now and it transfers a lot faster than before. Thanks
Easiest way I found was, pop the MicroSD in my PC load it up. Pop it in the prime, use a file explorer and move it over fast and easy.
Hello there,
I recently bought a rooted Android media player and I'd like to use it (among other things) to run a torrent client 24/7 so I don't need to have a PC running and I can start and manage downloads from the office or my smartphone.
I've accomplished most of that, but the problem is no torrent app allows me to use a external HDD connected via USB as downloads' destination folder, making me use the device's internal memory (which is less than 3 GB) so I can seed/download just a couple things at a time. As per what I've found out on-line, this seems to happen due some Android's permissions, do anyone know a way to solve it?
Best regards!

If you have not found a solution by now, try ADownloader app. You must be on Android Lollipop 5.0 at least.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.AndroidA.DroiDownloader
Device:
ZTE Grand X (Bell Version) - Model Z933
Android 4.3
Kernel 3.4.0+
No root, stock everything.
I recently bought this ZTE Z933, and I've had some photos, videos, and music stored on the phone's storage for a while, and it worked fine.
Just in the past couple weeks, I put more videos, photos, and music onto an SD Card (4GB, FAT32) and put it into the phone, and now very often (almost daily) all of my picture browsing apps and music playing apps suddenly (and temporarily) are not able to detect ANY media on both the SD card and my phone's storage. But, if I browse my media through ASTRO or any other file manager, all the files are there and they work perfectly fine.
Rebooting the phone does nothing to fix this issue, and neither does accessing the storage through USB or unmounting and mounting the SD Card. For a while, the only fix I found was sometimes if I opened up one of my photos through ASTRO, and then closed it, about half the time it would temporarily fix the issue.
After a bit of searching, I found some threads on different sites about restarting the Media Scanner service (or something along that line) in Settings > Apps. I do not have this, but instead what I do have under Apps > Running > Cached, I have something called "Media", which, when I stop it and restart the phone, fixes the issue temporarily, but it works every time. The annoying thing about this is having to reboot, and losing all my ringtone and notification tone settings, and my playlists every time this happens.
Can anyone give me info on things to try? Or does anyone know of an app that will get me around this issue? (the phone has been reset pretty recently so I don't think that would solve it)
Any help would be very appreciated!
Hey how's it going? I to picked up one of these nice little phones and have yet to find anything as far as development on it, i.e root or any roms and ZTEusa has nothing on this phone. Every time I google it it shows another phone.
Its a great phone large screen and has quad core, if enough people post a wanted new thread on the request a thread forum we can get some help. There is a boot loader its just can anyone get root threw it. Also someone needs to try all of the towel root modstrings which are a lot and you might get it rooted. I really enjoy mine have had no problems with media, might be your sdcard is it an old one or a new one what class is it class10?
http://www.xda-developers.com/users-beware-zte-root-backdoor-found/
I just picked up this phone too.
Seems like root acess is simply password controled..
Maybe ztex1609523?
Anyone wanna jam that into an installer?
Hello all i have the tab s6 that i got primarily for photo editing using lightroom. Unfortunately it seems i cant access any form of external storage through lightroom in order to view pictures and then import them into lightroom to edit them. It seems that I first have to transfer the pictures into the internal storage of the tab, in my case 256gb, and only then i can see the pictures in lightroom prior to importing them. By doing this i would essentially end up with duplicate photos and then reducing the storage even further.
The only way i can access the external storage is via the files manager app installed. Is there any work around this? In ios i can see the pictures from the external storage through lightroom prior to import.
What Android version? Scoped storage is fully active in Android 11/12 and it's a mess.
Unless the app has special permissions like that file app, scoped storage will puke on them and limit their access. You may be able to do a adb edit work around, not sure as I refuse to deal with these OS versions.
Maybe try using a OTG flashstick as a work around.
Running Android 11 and no new update available. And lightroom app permission under files and media it says “allow access to media only” dont see other options
Any app that allows full access to external drives where i can see the full size picture thats stored?

Lightroom developers need to modify it for it to work most likely. Not a trivial task.
Do some searches to see if you can modify this behavior with adb edits. Yeah, now even bloody iPhones are easier to use than Androids, thanks for nothing Gookill...
I would just download the whole file copy onto the PC. You need to back it up anyway...
Last thing i want is too root the tab and gave things go wrong. Havent rooted an Android device in years and always more of a hassle than what improvements where promised

I prefer using stock. Adb editing is just modifying the user partition, a factory reset will undo the changes if you goof up.
If it came loaded with 11 you can't flash it back to 10 because of the boot loader version.
Try some Google searches ie something like "scoped storage workaround adb". Add xda to it to find threads about it here. Maybe Package Disabler could help but I doubt it as scoped store is a core feature.
There's a lot of pissed off Android users right about now... you're not alone.
Share your wuv and give Google some feedback.
I have to N10+'s, one is running on Pie, the newest on Q. Both behave almost identically, however Samsung added dozens of small system apks to do that... Samsung went to a lot of trouble to do that.
You confirmed my fear Samsung couldn't or wouldn't be able to do the same with the models running on R and above.
The culprit is Google not Samsung.
It's the game that moves as you play it.
Something so simple that they are alienating photographers and are forcing them into ios, maybe I should have gotten an ipad pro

There are work arounds but you shouldn't need to do this. At this point Android is more iPhone than Android... a tard wannabe iPhone that is.
Return if you still can.
If you get a Samsung running on P or Q it will function normally and still have sufficient security.
Be wary of buying devices as they may list P or Q as the loaded OS when in fact they've been updated or factory loaded (depending on manufacturered date) with R.
Tried to look into the scoped storage but seems to be too much of a hassle and not really working possibly depending on what you need. There doesnt seem to be a definitive answer to my particular issue in regards to having lightroom (adobe) have access to external storage. I might just have to bite the bullet and get a 1tb microsd card although thats a huge expense.
On another note, Adobe should make it a requirement to have access to external storage, its possible in IOS and windows and tell google to allow it.
Test a small sd card first to make sure it works as you want with scoped storage.
Get a V30 rated card, Sandisk Extreme works well.
Take a look at this thread.

Thanks but not really what i am looking for. Will test out and old microsd card i have from an old android phone and see how that goes
So some positive news to report. Tried an old microsd card. As expected it automatically displays the photos in the photo app just like the built in storage. So tried to copy a picture that i had backed up in the external ssd, did this via the file manager app. Then the moment of truth, opened up Lightroom and i have access to the additional microsd card, the picture that i copied from the ssd along with all the other old photos showed up in lightroom. So, as much of an inconvenience this is, it seems that for my needs and workflow, i would need the extra microsd card.
So here would be my work flow after taking pictures
1-Backup all the pictures taken on a certain date into the Samsung T5 SSD.
2-Also copy all of the pictures into the extra microsd card (1tb)
3-Go through all the pictures on the microsd card using lightroom to decide which ones to edit and then import them into lightroom.
4-Do all my edits then save those edits into the built in storage, upload to Facebook, instagram, etc. then save those final edits into the Samsung T5 SSD.
5-Format the 1tb microsd and repeat the whole process when needed.
Extra steps but it seems this is the only way. Thanks Google
EDIT: after thinking about it I think a 512gb would be more than enough for my expected workdlow and would be a significant savings vs the 1tb
Yay This will be a better setup than you had.
I always build dual drive PCs; the OS, apps, DCIM folder and the temporary download folder go on internal memory.
All critical data goes on the data drive. This is then backed up redundantly to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC.
Do Not use DCIM in the name of photo folder on the SD card; there can only be one folder with that name.
I'm having the same problem with this scoop storage issue that Google has handed us My 1tb card is full of music that I can't access it worked fine on my Note 8 but it doesn't work hardly at all on my new Note 10 I can't even get a playlist to function right people have talked about editing Android manifest in Android studio Man that's so far above my ability but I wouldn't just format my card I know I bought the best one I could buy and I still have the problem and I've had my card for some time I hope someone comes up with a solution

Scoped storage is a mess. Back up the 1tb card's data at least twice on 2 different hdds, more backup is always better.
Or use a different SD card in the device.
With the test SD card format the card with the device (all data will be lost, etc, etc), then doing the data transfer through the phone load the data. See if that works.
Regardless it's best practice to leave the SD card in one device and not "share" it with other devices. Having other devices write to it can lead to card corruption.
Don't know if this will help or not. I'm still running on Android 9 and 10. Gookill sucks elephant balls bad now... no way I'll upgrade my N10+'s to 11 or 12, they're running too good as is.
Thank you for getting back with me I have a real hard time keep you track of stuff nowadays but I don't need the aggravation of this scoop storage stuff as it is I have to pay someone to root my phones anymore because I just can't do it.
I used to be fairly good at it but not anymore so dr.ketan is promising updates in April and unless the issue is addressed by him I'm going to go ahead and downgrade my Note 10 Plus to Android 9 or 10 wherever that point is I can avoid all this crap
I think I read on one of the posts that they didn't really see any speed difference between 9 and 12
I think 9 was what was on my phone when I bought it in December.
And it was my phone guy that brought it up to 12 and put on dr.ketan's ROM. But I am so used to backing up stuff to SD card that it's driving me nuts. And isn't that the idea of TWRP anyway to be able to back up to your SD card and restore if you screw things up? Anyway thank you again for getting back with me and if you hear of any news about a fix or patch that someone like me could put on to fix it other than having to have the skills of a developer let me know I appreciate it I'd even be willing to be a beta tester.
Take care Rick
