The Nexus 7: Google ships a tabletThe Nexus 7: Google ships a tabletPosted Aug 1, 2012 3:46 UTC (Wed) by JoeBuck (subscriber, #2330)Parent article: The Nexus 7: Google ships a tablet The switch to MTP is annoying, but I found I could work around it by installing an SSH server (say, SSHdroid); the device can then be mounted as an SFTP filesystem, no cable required. I don't use my Nexus as an ebook reader; I would agree that the (original) Kindle works much better for that.

"The switch to MTP is annoying"
Even more annoying is, no option to choose the good old bulk storage mode. Though it would have been easy to do that, Google, in its infinite smartness... oh well.

Providing bulk-storage mode is actually NOT trivial. It requires unmounting of sdcard and exposing it as a block device over USB.
More and more apps now use the internal sdcard all the time, so it's becoming progressively more complicated.

check out AirDroid if you want a quick & easy way for adding/removing/managing various content on the device

I was really interested in this program when I searched how to copy files. But I could not find anything like that that is free software, so I finally used ssh or smb.
It's really a shame that it's so hard to find the licence for most android application. Just telling if it's free software or not would be enough.
