About PS MTP Explorer
Plug an Android phone into the PS4 with a USB data cable, unlock it and pick File Transfer (MTP) in its USB options. No app is needed on the phone. iPhones don't work.
Files and whole folders can be copied, moved, renamed and deleted between the phone, a USB drive and the internal drive, and you can make new folders. On the internal drive, stick to writable places like /data. Highlight a .pkg and press X to install it. A package on the phone gets a temporary copy on the internal drive first, so leave room for that copy and the installed content. Keep the phone connected and the app open until it finishes.
Controls:
- D-Pad: move around
- X: open a folder, install a .pkg, or show a file's properties
- Circle: back or cancel
- Triangle or Options: options menu
- L3: grid or list view
- L1 / R1: previous or next page
- L2 / R2: switch between the phone's storage areas
- Touchpad: refresh
nueex has run it on firmware 9.00, 9.60, 10.01, 11.00 and 13.52 with GoldHEN.
