Micromax Canvas 4 - Accessing the Internal storage

[shouvik]

Hello
My Canvas 4 got delivered yesterday. Pretty cool phone at this price (Rs 14399) loaded with tons of features.
However, when I connect the USB to my MAC OS X 10, it does not detect the internal storage. In my HTC one V, it used to detect automatically. Is there any setting I need to turn on to access the storage?
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Try this:
Go to Settings > Storage. Then Click Menu to check for options. Some manufacturers may not activate the MTP connection by default. If that's the case, do it.

I have heard that even Nexus devices require a third party software installation on OS X because of the changes that were made in Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 architecture? Or maybe OS X does not support MTP out of the box? Googling might help.

Someone just suggested me to install this software on my MAC OS X http://www.android.com/filetransfer/
Will download & see if it works :numbness:

Considering it is from the official website... Looks safe.

For Mac users only. You don't need extra software to connect your Android device to a Windows computer.Android File Transfer is an application for Macintosh computers (running Mac OS X 10.5 or later) you can use to view and transfer files between your Mac and an Android device (running Android 3.0 or later).

I guess I was right.

Update: It worked after installing that software. Hope this thread will help someone who is facing the same problem.

Thanks guys
