1Here's the explanation from one of Google's engineers, BTW, which is the original source for my description: reddit.com/r/Android/comments/mg14z/…– eldarerathisCommented Jan 25, 2018 at 21:02

1@eldarerathis I'm aware of why they think its a good idea. It has it's down side though. For example usage in Windows. I'm sick of it warning me every time I copy a file that it's format isnt compatible format for my phone and that I should convert it when it's fine. Also it's just slower and you can't multitask copy operations. I have an older android phone that I like to use just because it has USB Mass Storage Mode. Well I don't want to be forced to just use that forever for my needs.– LateralTerminalCommented Jan 25, 2018 at 21:04

1Also, the answers here are probably applicable: How can I use my Galaxy Nexus as an external USB storage drive?– eldarerathisCommented Jan 25, 2018 at 21:05

2@eldarerathis I understand. I agree it has benefits. Thank you for elaborating on google's decision. I'd still like a solution though to use USB storage.– LateralTerminalCommented Jan 25, 2018 at 21:33

1Thank you for clarifying why MTP is bogus. I understand it's benefits, but it's useability is close to none.– neverMind9Commented Mar 20, 2019 at 1:36

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. google-play-store), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
