In some topic i found information that sd card accessible via mtp. Is It true for current release? In my case i can't and very sad about it. Are there any plans to implement that?

Some do some don't, I've discussed about the matter with a few Linux users and some have the internal and external memory mounted automagically - some don't. For me, it works and I can see both. It has something to do how each distro handles the mtp mounting and which libraries are required. So basically for now its trial and error.

I don't see sdcard-content on any OS but I have it formatted as btrfs though.

On real host with Windows it is worked as expected, both storage accessible. On linux side don't, if even pass usb to virtualbox with Windows guest, i have same behavior.

On my Linux Laptop with KDE it works fine. I have access to internal memory and SD card. The SD card is 16 GB and formatted with FAT32 (originally, I didn't change the file format). My distro is Debian Jessie, version of libmtp is 1.1.8, Version of kio-mtp is 0.75+git+20140304-1.

I use simple-mtpfs to mount MTP devices, because it gives me proper paths to the files (like /home/user/mnt) instead of

mtp://[usb:002,007]/

which I get with whatever Thunar uses to mount Jolla. Anyway, with both metods I always see both internal phone memory AND the SD card:

Of course, I use Linux (and only Linux) installed on my real hardware. It just didn't come to my mind to install Windows as a host and Linux as guest - it's usually the other way around, for a lot of reasons...

I found where was my problem with detect sometimes only sdcard, sometime whole storages. Last time i written systmed unit for bind sdcard mount point to ~/android_storage, it was worked, but affect to mtp export functionality. After remove that unit, my Ubuntu host detect storage as expected. Last time i installed from openrepos "Mount sdcard for android" by Shturman, and problem come again. Both storages internal and sdcard not exported at all. After remove this tool i can use both sdcard and internal memory.

Nice screenshot. :)

But regrettably mtp isn't working perfectly on all linux distributions. Both Fedora and Mageia seem to have problems mounting both the file systems. Possibly other distros too.

I'm on Fedora 21 and never have I had any trouble accessing the SD card via MTP and Nautilus.

Mageia 5 RC mounts both filesystems, internal and SD card, reliably with MTP without any tweaks needed.
