adbfs
A FUSE filesystem that uses goadb to expose Android devices' filesystems.
Features
- Read access to Android device filesystems through adb, without root. Of course, this is limited to files that are accessible to whatever user
adb shell
runs the shell as on the device. - Experimental write support (run with
--no-readonly
). Notably, on OSX, Finder can't copy files into mounted directories (issue #34). - Automounter daemon that detects when devices are connected and mounts them under a configurable directory.
- Communicates directly with adb server using goadb instead of delegating to the adb client command like most adb-based filesystems.
Quick Start
Installation
adbfs depends on fuse. For OS X, install osxfuse. Then run:
$ export GO15VENDOREXPERIMENT=1
$ go get github.com/zach-klippenstein/adbfs
$ cd `go list -f '{{.Dir}}' github.com/zach-klippenstein/adbfs`
$ ./install.sh
Let's mount some devices!
The easiest way to start mounting devices is to use adbfs-automount
to watch for newly-connected devices
and automatically mount them.
$ mkdir ~/mnt
$ adbfs-automount
You probably want to run this as a service when you login (e.g. create a LaunchAgent on OSX).
For example, on OSX, paste this into ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.adbfs-automount.plist
(substituting "zach" for your own username, of course):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">
<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
<key>Label</key>
<string>com.adbfs-automount</string>
<key>ProgramArguments</key>
<array>
<string>/Users/zach/go/bin/adbfs-automount</string>
<string>--adb=/Users/zach/android-sdk/platform-tools/adb</string>
<string>--adbfs=/Users/zach/go/bin/adbfs</string>
</array>
<key>RunAtLoad</key>

<key>StandardOutPath</key>
<string>/Users/zach/adbfs.log</string>
<key>StandardErrorPath</key>
<string>/Users/zach/adbfs.log</string>
</dict>
</plist>
then run
$ launchctl load ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.adbfs-automount.plist
$ launchctl start com.adbfs-automounter

Usage
Devices are specified by serial number. To list the serial numbers of all connected devices, run:
adb devices -l
The serial number is the left-most column. To mount a device with serial number 02b5c5a809117c73
on /mnt
, run:
adbfs --device 02b5c5a809117c73 --mountpoint /mnt
Example:
$ adb devices -l

$ mkdir ~/mnt
$ adbfs -device 02b5c5a809117c73 -mountpoint ~/mnt

adbfs-automount
adbfs-automount
listens for new device connections to adb and runs an instance of adbfs
for each device to mount
it. Most arguments are passed through to adbfs
, but there are a few arguments specific to the automounter:
--root
: the directory under which to mount devices. If this is not specified, it will try to figure out
a good path. On OSX, ~/mnt
is used if it exists, else /Volumes
. On Linux, it tries ~/mnt
then /mnt
.
--adbfs
: path to the adbfs executable to run. If not specified, will search $PATH
. The executable must be built
from the same SHA as adbfs-automount
, which will exit with an error if this is not the case.
--on-(un)mount
: a command to run when a device is (un)mounted. Can be repeated to run multiple commands.
E.g. --on-mount 'say $ADBFS_MODEL' --on-mount 'open $ADBFS_PATH'
will speak the type of device and open it in Finder.
