When I plug my N4 on my Windows computer at work, I can normally transfer files as a mass storage device. But when I plug it to my home computer running Ubuntu 12.04 it will only charge my phone. I did read somewhere that this is just available for Windows and Mac, but is it possible to install something on Ubuntu to enable this?

My immediate solution was installing Dropbox for file transfers, but it's not to good when I need to transfer heavier files like movies or large music playlists.
