I found it initially difficult to achieve what you're talking about as of
version 4 Android will not mount as a "mass storage device". It uses the
MTP system which is completely different from my little understanding of it
all. To be honest I don't do it much these days so I can't recall the exact
method I used to install it all but the program "Go-mtpfs" is what is
sitting in my launcher that I use when I do connect it. Sorry I can't be
specific on setup but it was something to do with installing that to mount
it at a location that you can then transfer as a normal SD card would.

Again apologies for the very sparse information but hopefully a program
name helps you track down the answer.
