sdcard not visible through mtp
-
Hello,
I have configured the camera to store images on the sdcard, but when I connect the phone to my computer, only "internal storage" is visible. As a result, I cannot browse or transfer my photos through the GUI (I have to use adb pull from a terminal, which is a pain). On my previous UT device (sony xperiax, running 20.04), the sdcard was accessible through mtp, alongside "internal storage".I'm currently running 24.04-1.x daily, dated 2025-10-14. Am I alone to experience this problem? Is there an easy fix?
Thanks in advance.

I still don't know how to make the sdcard appear directly on my desktop computer when I connect my phone, but I have a workaround : symlink the sdcard mount point in the /home/phablet directory ( = "internal storage" on the desktop computer).
This is easily done using the terminal (or adb shell). Find the exact mount point of the sdcard using the command
mount; it is something like /media/phablet/XXXX-YYYY. Then enterln -s /media/phablet/XXXX-YYYY ~/sdcard
