To access Ubuntu Touch storage from the PC I've read that I need to act on settings > storage. I feel like I'm missing something stupid, but I can't find storage in my Ubuntu Touch 14.10 settings scope (BQ Aquaris 4.5)

Edit: my goal was to expose the content of the SD card via either usb-storage or MTP over USB so that application on the desktop PC can act with them. I could use some kind of internet-based rsync to /media/user/something, but that sounds like hunting goldfish with a harpoon!

The MTP export works by default (no need to enter development mode) as long as the phone is unlocked.

If you have 14.04 you are probably missing the fuse rules, so to add them follow this guide (my BQ Aquaris 4.5 UE product Id is 2a47/2008), you see it at end of dmesg after plugging in the phone. Still working on a way to expose it as usb-storage

There is Settings > About this phone > Storage but this is just for statistics.

I think what you're looking for is External Drives from the Apps screen. I don't have an SD card though so can't be a 100% sure.

You don't need any storage button: Ubuntu Touch will detect files on an inserted SD card and show them in the correct scopes...

That's it!

This answer does not require any cables and will provide you with wireless access to your phone's file system without developer mode.

You may want to consider enabling SSH Service. Follows the link in the answer and then proceed with its instructions to be able to toggle the SSH Service. This is on 15.04 though.

Once you have done that you can sftp into your phones file system, rsync with it or even mount it with sshfs.

To have your SDCard appear in your home directory, simply follow this answer.
