[Bradford] Viewing Files on Linux from an Android phone

[Dick Thomas]

to avoid all this trouble as I have a galaxy nexus that uses mtp too
I've been using/abusing dropbox and dropsync
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ttxapps.dropsync&hl=en
it then allows me to sync all my files on my phone with dropbox. it also
means if/when my phone dies or is stolen
I don't lose any files
