I have issues when trying to transfer files (mp3) from Stretch KDE to Samsung Galaxy A5. I correctly set the Samsung as a storage device, but then whenever I try to access it via Dolphin, Samsung asks me if I want to allow Debian to access its files. I then enter this loop where I can't access it, but the phone always asks if I allow Debian to access it, and over and over again. And then, when I get an option to copy files, I can't, the 'paste' option is greyed out, ctrl+v also doesn't work. Is there any other good way to mtp on Debian? And an option that would allow me to transfer folders, not just files.
MTP is bollocks - I'm pretty sure google's reason for embracing MS's crap invention is that it is so flakey it pushes the masses to instead sync via their "easy cloud services", clipping your ticket on the way through.
I connect my Samsung phone as a media device. From Dolphin I can see all the files on the phone and can perform any action on them. On Jessie, but that shouldn't make any difference.

I gave up on MTP last year. This is the best explanation for it I have seen so far.
Nobody would ever ask questions If everyone possessed encyclopedic knowledge of the man pages.
Try KDE Connect, easiest way I have found to connect and transfer. It also has some other cool functions like using phone for media control, as an input device, or send/receive SMS from your PC.

Just came in to say this. Don't know how I managed to miss KDE Connect, it works great! Thanks sunrat!
