How to connect G1 GPhone Android T-Mobile with Computer via USB

This is really a simple task.
Just connect USB with you gphone and you computer via USB cable.
Then in the phone's notification area (on top the screen). Drag all the notifications out and there is a notification about USB. Click it and a pop up will ask you to "mount" or "unmount". Click mount and you can copy things in and out of G1's SD card between you computer and the phone.

Hi,

My G1 didn't offer me a USB device option when I connected.

The way to get it to work is to connect the USB cable, then to wait til the phone gives an "alert" tone.

Then check the notifications (same as you would if you got a text message) and select Mount.

Then and only then can you access it in explorer on your PC.

Hope this helps!

This doesn't work on my Mac. Any clues? I can mount the card but when I connect to the Mac it opens up iPhoto, shows ANdroid, but I can't copy/move things to it from the Mac drive

Which version of android are you using?
I'm using a DEV version, and just on today, I used it as a flash drive to transfer a file from my linux desktop to my Macbook. Everything is fine.
