Mass Storage

This phone has only 3 options to charge , media device (MTP), Camera (PTP),

Is there a way to "mount" this phone as mass storage device like we could with the c771?

Is there an apps that do this?
 
If you are using a Windows XP then you will need to download the MTP driver from Microsoft. If you are using Windows 98 then it's time for a new computer. The newer versions of Windows all support MTP right out of the box.
 
All modern Android devices starting Android 3.1 use MTP instead of "mass storage".
You should enable MTP mode in the device when connected.
In Windows 8 or later MTP should be there by default (I think so, I don't remember installing it and it worked for me out of the box (well, I did installed the C811 driver before that)) and the device should appear just like any USB drive.

In Linux you have to install jmtpfs and mount it like

Code:
jmtpfs mountpoint
where mountpoint is the directory you want to mount to (must be created beforehand).

And unmount it like
Code:
fusermount -u mountpoint
where mountpoint is the directory to which you've previously mounted the device
