I am trying to load forms offline onto a Nexus 7, which has no SD card
support. When I connect the Nexus to my computer via the USB, I cannot
find a folder with ODK or forms, thus I can't save my form onto the Nexus.
I found the following on the Google Nexus 7 support page:
"Important: Android manages and carefully guards the portion of internal
storage where the system, apps, and most data for those apps are stored,
because this area may contain your private information. It's not possible
to view this portion of internal storage when you connect your device to a
computer with a USB cable. The other portion of internal storage, where
music, downloaded files, and so on are stored, remains visible for your
convenience."
Does this mean there is no way to get forms onto Nexus when offline? Any
advice on this would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I am using a Nexus 7 if fact I use three different ones and once ODK is
installed I have no problem at all seeing the ODK directory when it is
connected to a windows machine and I have had no problems copying forms to
it and testing them. The nexus does not have an SD card it only has
internal storage and will just look like another drive once you connect it
to a windows machine. Are you sure you have installed ODK correctly.

install ODK Collect on your device.
Run ODK Collect
This will create the 'odk' directory and the directories underneath it.
When you connect up with a USB cable, you should then see those
directories.
If you do this while you are already connected, the MTP software on Windows
may not immediately update to show all the directories that were created.
This is particularly a problem on my Samsung Galaxy S III. Very irksome.

The software that exposes the phone's SDCard to your laptop can sometimes
not refresh what is present, and will show the files from the previous
connection.
I don't know how to get it to reliably display all the available
directories and files when connecting to a Windows PC. Occasionally,
disconnecting and reconnecting will correct the problem; often it won't. I
do not know if this problem also exists for Macs.
If the directories do not show within the Nexus 7 device, try to create an
'odk' folder, and, within that, a 'collect' folder, and a 'forms' folder
within that (so you end up with /odk/collect/forms/ on the Nexus 7 device.
If 'testing.xml' is the filename for an XML form definition generated by
XLSForm from your Excel spreadsheet, place that in /odk/collect/forms/ on
your Nexus 7 device, and start ODK Collect. It should appear on the Fill
Blank Forms page.

To be clear: enabling 'Debugging Mode' is not required to make these
folders appear.
However, it is certainly possible that enabling it caused the driver to
detect a change and refresh its display of the available folders (causing
the 'odk' folder to appear).

Hi,
I had the same Problem. I had to enable the "Debugging Mode" and then I
