I find that packages mtpfs and mtp-tools are necessary in many cases to talk to my usb devices. Make a directory mtp under /mnt, and then you can simply
sudo mtpfs /mnt/mtp
and see the files on the device. Now you can use file manager to navigate to (filesystem) /mnt/mtp and drag and drop files.

Can you help with this problem?
