what app can I use to see my android device on my debian 13.0 xfce as another directory / plugable external disk?

when I used debian 12.7 xfce I somehow installed something that allowed me to access my android device as an external disk and copy data there simply plugin in the usb cable.

I don’t know what I installed anymore.

What application do I need?

I haven't used 13/trixie but with 12/bookworm I use jmtpfs but it's also available for trixie.

What version of Android though? Very old ones used to show up as mass storage.

android 4.3

Sounds about right. Check the android usb settings. Also try a different cable.

Maybe “kdeconnect”? It can do that any much more.

Thunar and: sudo apt install gvfs gvfs-mtp

Thunar should be able to access MTP devices when the gvfs-backends package is installed.

This should just work if your Android device’s USB mode is set to Mass Storage, no extra software needed on the PC. It’ll just show up like a thumb drive.
