Hi Darcy, I tried several transfer programs and it is as you say, I can upload to the computer pics, etc.. from my Nexus-7 but what I really want is, to transfer some books from the computer to the tablet, and none will do that! They all handle media, and one way only. Thanks for all the suggestions from many of you. <div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Aug 3, 2012 at 6:38 PM, Darcy Casselman <<a href="mailto:dscassel@gmail.com" target="_blank">dscassel@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Like the Galaxy Nexus phone, the Nexus 7 (I've got one) doesn't have an option to go into Mass Storage mode. Your only options are MTP (for music and other media) and PTP (for pictures). I don't see the Nexus 7 in Ubuntu when I connect via either, though. I have used Ubuntu One to get files onto both my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7. It works in a pinch, but is pretty tedious if there's a lot to transfer.
