When I connect my Nook Glowlight 4 to my Mac, I get a pop-up window on my Nook asking me if I want to enable USB mode. When I turn on USB mode, my Nook appears as a drive on my Mac. When I open the Nook "drive", I see only two folders, Nook and android. The User's Guide instructs me to place any sideloaded ePub and pdf files in the Nook folder. I do not see a My Documents folder! The older Nooks had a My Documents folder, but not this one!

PS - This may or may not help you, but I discovered a hidden way to access developer options and then I installed a launcher and a file manager app. What the Nook is set up to do when it is connected to a Mac or PC by USB is to open a folder in storage called spsd. Only the contents of this folder show up on the Mac or PC. The Nook folder is located in this folder. The device has a separate Nook folder outside of spsd for B&N purchased books.
