[Bug 1181859] Re: Any plans for native Android MTP access?

I think you'll want to have a look at bug 903422 as it contains
information regarding how to add support for specific devices.

Title:
  Any plans for native Android MTP access?

Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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).

  Thanks,
