[Q] MTP Demo?

---

I've done a search, but I cannot find anything really specific on this.

I think I understand quite a bit about MTP, that it shows up as an icon instead of a letter drive, why it needs MTP, etc.

Some users have said that the folders you can access will be limited. My question is what folders can be accessed/seen via MTP?

I really don't mind MTP, but I want to be able to drag and drop and not have to use some syncing software. That being said, does anyone have some screen shots or a video even of transferring files from WIN 7 to the Galaxy Nexus via MTP? A video, even a shot one would be fantastic.

Thank you in advance.

(P.S. I know I can make all sorts of changes and do arranging with file explorers. My question is more of a "How hard is it to get my pictures, music, Docs, etc actually ON to the device. )

Anyone? Maybe just pictures? Just a list of the folders?

Hi, you don't really need to worry about this at all.

The only folders you can't see, compared to USB like before, are the hidden folders which are usually just folders for application data.

It does show up as a device rather than a drive letter, but drag and drop works exactly the same, no need for extra sync software. I won't bother taking a screenshot because it looks exactly the same as transferring files to an android device which uses the old USB method.

To answer your question "How hard is it to get my pictures, music, Docs, etc actually ON to the device", the answer is - it isn't hard at all, and is effectively exactly the same as the old method (better in my opinion as you don't need to mount/unmount). The only way in which you could have problems is if you use a Mac or Linux and then you need extra software, as you're using Win7 you won't have any problems.

Hope this helps

edit - actually I had time to kill so here are some pictures

You're fantastic. Thank you. VERY helpful.
