Just root. Or, you could use Nexus Media Importer sans root.

Need root like what listeruk says. You could however use stickmount, then it will show up in your file explorer as usb. Links here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDMsImV1LmNoYWluZmlyZS5zdGlja21vdW50Il0.

how do i trasnfer files to nexus from pc

i have unlocked and rooted nex 7 and now try install cyanogen mod i have zip for lasted version and latest version of gapps but cant put them on sd card on nexus because i get an error how can i do it?
thanks!
You could transfer them using Airdroid: http://airdroid.com/
Same here,that is awesome App。or via OTG function
Airdroid is good. I'd also suggest Software Data Cable since it allows you to drag and drop files between the device and your computer right from Windows Explorer.
What error do you get? That would be helpful for figuring out what the problem is.

StickMount not needed?

So I run a CM10 nightly with franco.kernel r25. My USB drive mounts without the need for StickMount.
This is purely a curiosity question. I can DirectoryBind without issues as well.
So is USB support built in to CM? I didn't see USB storage as a feature of franco.kernel.
Thanks XDA!
Most full featured roms for the n7 will have this built into it. I have never used stickmount with any rom and external sds have always worked

I'm using smooth ROM but when I connect a USB flash drive it doesn't connect even when I try to use stickmount but nothing any help would be greatly appreciated. Also could it be a certain micro USB cable?

Woops, accidental thanks. Freebie to you!!!
Anyhow, youn said micro usb cable. You need an otg cable. Is that what you meant? If so, yes, there are different types of otg cables that work on different devices and not on others. You need to make sure yours is compatible with the n7.
OP- It is called "Automatic usb hotplug" support. It is not really a rom feature, but a kernel feature. M Kernel a24 now also supports this on 4.2.1.

USB OTG

Easiest way to use USB OTG on my XJLo?
Sent from my ST26i using xda app-developers app
If you can find "Mount USB storage" in the storage menu, then you can use it easily with the OTG cable, but if you cant find it,then you must integrate OTG drivers in the kernel to use it.
Nope i cant find it! So Is there any available kernel that can be used on sxj?
