Android USB "Disk Drive" disappeared on HTC EVO V 4G (Virgin Mobile) I'm not sure if it's a result of the recent upgrade to ICS 4.0.3, but when I connect my USB cable to my Mac, I no longer see the "Disk Drive" option on the Android. My only choices are:


Charge only
HTC Sync
Media sync


Is something broken? How can I transfer non-media files?

I installed the HTC Sync app, but the "Files" menu option is disabled.

(Yes, I have rebooted both the phone and the Mac and have tried different USB cables.)
When connecting to a Mac, it's no longer a direct option, but there's an easy workaround.


From the Mac, download, install and start this app:

http://www.android.com/filetransfer/

The Mac app will prompt you to connect your Android.
Plug the Android into a USB port.
On the Android, select “Media sync” mode.
On the Mac, the file transfer app will show a window with file/folder selections.
On the Mac, open a Finder window, then drag and drop files back and forth between Finder and the Android File Transfer app.


Unlike the old “Disk drive” option, the Android File Transfer app does not provide access via a mounted volume.
