I followed this guide to get access to my Android phone from my Ubuntu PC and everything went well except I don't have access to my Android's SD card.



The guide uses the "mtp-tools mtpfs" to browse android phone's contents using Nautilus, by the nautilus side bar, like it would with a USB stick.



How can I now browse my Android phone's SD external card's contents?




usb nautilus android sd-card

Finally I make it with "gMTP".



(The program gMTP it’s intended for managing MP3 players, but it works great for managing devices.)



To install it:



sudo apt-get install gmtp


To connect:



just plug the android via the USB cable into your computer, start gMTP and click “Connect”.



When you press "Connect" you will asked if you want to browse internal memory or sd card.

    Thanks for sharing your solution :-) But as commented by @Organic Marble, the best solution for most people is to use a new version of Ubuntu, which has built-in support for android devices.

  • The best I can get is 12.04 and I think I'm not the only one. (So, I'm "fighting" to use my [only] [old] pc which can run windows7 but no any newer version than ubuntu 12.) :(

  • I see. Have you tried with some light-weight flavour of Ubuntu (Lubuntu, Ubuntu MATE, Ubuntu Budgie or Xubuntu)? Standard Ubuntu may want more modern hardware for graphics, but these flavours have lighter desktop environments, that might work. If there are problems with the linux driver for graphics, the problem is worse.
