Can't you just treat it as a normal USB stick?
e.g.
Plug it in
select connect to PC on phone.
then
# mount /dev/sdb /mnt
(get some error msgs)
then
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt
I do it this way and I can transfer files back and forth just like on a
USB stick. Of course, make sure you use the correct device sdb, sdc or
...
If any folders start with a . (dot) then maybe nautilus treats them as
hidden?
BTW, I don't use a DE. So I can help with that side of it.
