Well,
The point is when I select MTP on my android phone when I connect it to
laptop, and debian mounts android. But all folders that are there in my
phone are not seen in the explorer.
Whereas if I connect the android phone to windows it shows all my
files.
Only 10 folders are seen on debian, whereas there are many others!
