Hi,
I think you are trying to connect via the USB cable right? I don't have
an android tablet but I've a phone and since I updated the OS to
lollipop I lost the capacity to write on the device from my fedora.

Something has changed or a bug is arisen with the new version I don't
know but simple-mtpfs doesn't work anymore. I didn't try with
marshmallow yet.

I transfer my files through Bluetooth (I use bluez). You can also give a
try to KDEconnect but it never worked for me as well (it can't see my
phone).

This is a change in the security model of Android and has "broken" tons
of applications. In kitkat, apps are limited to writing to their own directories and not to any other apps' directories. Incredibly stupid
decision, IMHO. I never agreed with the change. It's my device, let me
put data where I want. You can move stuff around using the file manager,
but you absolutely should NOT have to do that.

Supposedly this is being relaxed in Android V5 and things should get better, but I'm really starting to hate Apple and Google.

Bonjour,


I would like to plug a tablet running android with a computer running
fc23 and copy files from the tablet to the computer and conversely from
the computer to the tablet.

I installed simple-mtpfs and gvfs-mtp

I can mount the tablet using the command:  simple-mtpf android

I can see the content of the tablet, I can copy a file from the tablet
to the computer *but* I can't copy a file from the computer to the
tablet and I have a strange error message: I right click on the file (on
the computer) and choose "copy", then I go to ~/android and choose
"paste", the message is: "/home/me/android/file does not exist"

Of course it does not exist because I want to copy it in the directory
/home/me/android/

What can I do to tranfert files from the computer to the tablette?

2nd question: is there a way to automatically mount the tablet when it
is plugged to the computer? I use xfce and thunar as file manager.

Thank you.
