Mounting Nexus 7 on Debian
For some reason, the newer Android phones do not use the "usual" USB mass storage. They use something called media transfer protocol or MTP.
Read here:

Anyway, to mount your new Android device (Android 4 and higher), you need to install jmptfs, which itself is based on fusermount.
See here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MTP
Do these steps after installing jmptfs.
Create a writeable mountpoint: eg. mkdir ~/nexus
Connect your device and type:
$ jmtpfs nexus/
Copy stuff or whatever into the mounted device.
To unmount:
$ fusermount -u nexus ¶ 9:58 AM 0 Comments
