Public bug reported: MTP is widely used by newer Android devices, and it is a pain to install it manually. This would be nice to have supported by default and should be built in the default file browser for Ubuntu.
It should not be so complicated to browse my Android 4.x files (I have a Droid RAZR M) on my Ubuntu 13.04. I used a work-around by installing "FTP Server" (by The Olive Tree) on my Android phone, started up that FTP server capability, then had my Ubuntu use FileZilla to connect to my Android FTP server using WiFi. I was able to browse and copy the full directory tree (root '/' and such) of my Android phone, which is great, but I really wish my Ubuntu 'Files' explorer (v3.6.3) was able natively access my Android's file structure once I connect my phone via the USB cable. Are there any plans by Ubuntu/Canonical to add such a feature? It seems a bit odd that a linux computer (Ubuntu) cannot fully talk with a linux phone (Android).
