This has to be the most weird problem with any tablet.

Post by Eduardo »

I use my tablet to read many pdf files, I created a folder named ebooks and I transferred some pdf files into this folder from my windows 7 computer and now whenever I connect my computer to this tablet I can't see any of those pdf files or folder using my windows 7 file explorer but I can see them from the table and they are there and I'm just wondering as to why I'm not able to see them from my windows 7 computer, I had never had a problem with something like this before with any other tablet running android 4. Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

The Archos tablet appears as a media device to the Windows machine, and therefore it thinks it knows what it where on the device - but it can easily get confused, especially if you move things around using the file manager on the tablet. Try rebooting the tablet and then reconnecting it to your Windows machine: can it see all the files now?

Just some further info...

Windows XP has even worse problems with that than Windows 7 does!

You may need to disconnect the tablet and then shut down and restart BOTH the tablet and the computer before you connect the tablet to the computer again to clear things up.

I really wish manufactures would just quit using MTP (or at least make it optional) and have devices connect (by default) as MSC (mass storage) type devices (like USB thumb drives or hard drives do). MTP has been nothing but a royal headache ever since the very first day Microsoft invented the idea.
