Nexus 7, Ubuntu 12.04, Eclipse Juno

Nexus 7 has been set developer mode. And in Eclipse I can see lists in "File Explorer" for Android.

I can see storage/emulated/legacy

But I can not see storage/emulated/0/ folder

I have had the same problem as well. Found the answer in a comment on a seperate stack overflow question so credit goes to the author.

everything is a link to /storage/emulated/legacy anyway, which itself is a link to /mnt/shell/emulated/0 which contains the file. – moonlightcheese Dec 7 '12 at 13:55

So check out that directory through the Android file explorer, and you will have your files.

Edit: Here is a link to the original comment: Nexus 4 not showing files via MTP

    this works, but is not very satisfying. when I call Environment.getExternalStorageDirectory().getPath() I expect to get a path I can work with, but this path is not available via adb (shell, pull, push). I don't like it :/ . I might have to create a dirty workaround for nexus 4 and 7. – user1772710 Jul 25 '13 at 15:47

    I have found a (not that dirty) solution to get the right path via shell command: adb shell echo $EXTERNAL_STORAGE – user1772710 Jul 25 '13 at 15:56
  • Can you link to the separate question so I can give props to him too. – Tony Chan Sep 24 '13 at 22:36
  • @Turbo There you go, thanks for mentioning that. Link to the actual comment is much better than just copy pasting it and giving cred :) – Andrew T. Sep 25 '13 at 01:03
  • Another solution is rebooting the device. Doing this the folder appears to me. It's not so satisfying too, but it works. – mathias.horn Sep 06 '17 at 11:59
