Media Device or as a Camera: "You can't save here."

I'll try that. But even if it works, it means I've got 64 Gigabytes I can't

easily use.

Does this mean everybody else just plugs this phone into a windows box and

uses it like a jump drive without a problem and this is unique to me?

No being connected as media you should be able to move files/folders like dcim. Is it the other file types that say "can't move here"? Should be just like other androids

Thanks tbo, in testing your theory I was able to pinpoint my problem. I

can't save anything to the phone but I can copy and paste files, or drag

and drop. I can create a text file with notepad and if I try to save it

there, it fails. But I can create it elsewhere and move it. With my droid 4

I could treat it as any other drive. I could sync my password files back

and forth at my home and work computers. It never occurred to me that this

would be different and it's not until now that I've tried everything.

I can move files around, I can see some of them. I can't see psafe3 files

created by the phone but the phone and the computer can see the files I

move there. I can open the files but can't change or save them.

So, it will work as storage. It's going to be extremely frustrating

managing my work and home passwords now but I'll manage. I can't save them

to the cloud because my employer doesn't like that.

Thank you very much for the help. I believe I have a handle on what's going

on. I'm not exactly happy but I think I can manage.
