Nexus 4 - Android debugging, USB file transfer

Trying to do a little debugging on my new Nexus 4. Step 1. enable USB debugging. Where’d it go!? Well, it is hidden now:  http://developer.android.com/tools/device.html

Note: On Android 4.2 and newer, Developer options is hidden by default. To make it available, go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number seven times. Return to the previous screen to find Developer options.”

Second, where can I enable just USB disk? By default it is shared as a media device.

Settings -> Storage -> options -> USB computer connection -> Connect as … check Camera (PTP).

[update]

Turns out that didn’t let me transfer files either on my Mac :/ Had to download the Android file transfer app.
