A reliable MTP client for Linux, FreeBSD, and macOS with a minimalistic Qt UI similar to the official Android File Transfer app. It also provides a FUSE wrapper, a command-line tool, a library, and Python bindings for transferring files to and from Android devices.
Use cases
- transfer files between linux and android phone over usb
- mount android device as filesystem with fuse
- copy music with album covers to android device
- mtp client that doesn't crash or corrupt files
- command line tool to browse mtp device
- access nintendo switch or zune via mtp
When to choose
- gvfs/mtpfs crashes, freezes, or corrupts files
- you need FUSE mounting with partial read/writes
- you want a GUI plus CLI and library access to MTP
- you need macOS MTP support without Android File Transfer app
When to avoid
- you are happy with gmtp/gvfs/mtpfs already
- you need wireless (adb-over-network) transfers
- you need MTP on Windows (native support exists)
