This might allow you to, among other things, add files to the emulated 'storage device' that the server sees, on the fly, in case you forgot a driver or something.
Um, no... That can't be done at all, whether you're using USB or anything else. If you change the structure of the filesystem on a storage device without the knowledge of the computer using that device, by adding files for instance, the filesystem will get hopelessly scrambled.
The reason this sort of thing works with NFS is because NFS isn't a storage-device protocol, it's a file-sharing protocol.
And for the record, folk who want MSFT-interop in this area could implement the "PTP" (Picture Transport Protocol, not Peer-to-Peer!) protocol in a Linux-USB device. I understand that current versions of Windows bundle PTP support, in the same way they bundle USB mass storage support.
PTP is a basically a file sharing protocol, which despite its name is not restricted to JPG, MOV, and similar file types.
