How to download pictures from Google Nexus? With T-Mobile myTouch 4G and T-Mobile's default Android 2.2, I can download the camera photos by pairing the phone with a computer through Bluetooth, and using an integrated file browser functionality of the computer (e.g. the Browse Device option on OS X).

But Google's Galaxy Nexus with Google's default Android 4.2 doesn't seem to support file browsing over Bluetooth.

How do I download the photos from the Nexus, without using any questionable third-party tools?  (Don't you find it ironic that a vanilla Google Nexus device doesn't have this rather standard functionality&nbsp;&mdash; file browser over Bluetooth&nbsp;&mdash; that all the old phones do have?)
Bluetooth is a rather slow choice when it comes to transferring bigger files: to transfer 10 MB, you'ld need...


BT 2.* (2.1 MBit/s) ~ 40s
BT 3.* (24 MBit/s) ~ 4s
WiFi g (54 MBit/s) ~ 2s


And with BT, the range is quite limited as well. Most devices probably still use BT 2 standard.

How to transfer your files then? You might want to check the most frequented questions of the "file-transfer" tag for that. The usual method (if you don't want any "questionable third-party tools" involved) is to connect your device to your PC using the USB cable -- which then should mount your device storage like a drive. You could also use some third-party tools (they are not all "questionable") to manage your device via WiFi -- AirDroid would be a good choice for that.

For transferring data between Android devices, you could use wifi-direct. Again, there are some good 3rd party tools to help, as e.g. SuperBeam or WiFiShare.
