Strange RAM usage on File transfer.

I mean drivers from here.

USB debugging should be disabled from the device (in the developer options I think) before connecting it.

Anyway, it appears that the device in question does connect only as MFT (media file transfer) that on my android devices sucks as both speed and resource use, although it does free the RAM it used once finished. (I usually switch them to MSC mode, that unmounts the "external SD" from the device and turns it in a USB flash drive for the PC, possible only if you have an "external SD", a mini-sd plugged in the mini-sd slot of the device)

I suggest to make a shared folder on your laptop's drive and access it from a filemanager on the Nexus, then transfer data inside the folder from it. This article. ES file manager is what I use on my devices as well.

It should perform on par, or slightly worse, as long as both devices are connected to the same wifi router/hotspot.

My nexus has only internal memory, and I have two modes: MTP and PTP.

Ok, then try using one or the other and see if it is better. Otherwise the suggestion above is still going to work.

PTP is for camera only
