When a Jolla phone is connected to a PC it would be nice to access the SD card inside the device as a mass storage device, this would make transferring files to and from the card much much easier.

You can make a symbolic link of sdcard directory to your home directory via Jolla Terminal. All you need to do is enable developer mode, open terminal and run commands:
cd ~
ln -s /run/user/100000/media/sdcard .
This it what shows when Jolla is connected via USB to Windows 7:

This works great for me except Windows doesn't show correctly files and folders that have Finnish/Swedish letters (äöå) in their names. It shows folders as empty and also seemed to create duplicate dummy folders. There is no problem if the card is connected to PC via card reader.

The MSD card is mounted on /run/user/100000/media/sdcard, you can use scp to send files o directories to it :
scp [-r] something nemo@ip_addr:/run/user/100000/media/sdcard
scp with Linux/Unix or putty on Windows

I'm surprised this isn't actually the case, it's so much easier!

tiemen ( 2013-12-28 20:19:29 +0300 )editHi tiemen, I've seen them but none of them asked for a mass storage mounting of an SD card. 2 of them are bug reports and other 2 ask for file transfer to phone they mention nothing about the SD card.
