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.

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
