Running Linux Mint, with the latest updates on both my iPad and my PC. And it just worked. Needed to put my password in to trust my device, but duuude! It just works. So nice.

    Why would you not be able to access the filesystem of a device you own and are in possession of? Is this some kind of walled-garden thing I’m too Apple-free to understand?

      In most non Apple Desktops, the most you’d get from connecting your iPad/iPhone is access to the photos and videos. You’d need to use iTunes to access the music or device documents.

      On Macs it “Just works” and gives you full access to music and files.

      While I can’t access my iPads videos and music in Mint. It’s nice to at least get me access to the documents, along side the camera videos and pictures. Not as good as I’d like it to be, but a lot better than what you can do with Windows… without installing iTunes.
