USB storage is problematic because it just exports a block-level view of
the card to the host - you'd potentially have two devices accessing the
same file system at the same time which is a really nice way to corrupt
said file system.

MTP exports a "file-level" view of the medium, so all card accesses
would be routed through just a single FAT implementation on the
device.

Or you could turn everything around and implement a file-serving
application for the PC that allows the device to access a directory on
the PC.
