About:
SimpleMtpfs is a FUSE-based driver that mounts Android devices with MTP support directly to your local filesystem. It enables standard file operations like copy, move, and delete without needing a dedicated client application. This tool provides a lightweight and scriptable alternative to GUI-based sync tools.
Key Features:
  • FUSE-based mounting for direct filesystem access
  • No dependency on Android File Transfer or other GUI clients
  • Supports standard file operations (read, write, delete, rename)
  • Command-line interface for easy automation
Use Cases:
  • Transferring files between a Linux/macOS host and an Android device via terminal
  • Automating backups or file synchronization scripts
  • Integrating Android device storage into a local development workflow
Alternatives:
  • go-mtpfs – A similar FUSE driver written in Go; SimpleMtpfs is often noted for its C++ implementation and stability.
  • gvfs-mtp – The GNOME Virtual File System MTP backend; SimpleMtpfs offers a more direct, lightweight CLI alternative.
