I'm using StickMount with a 8GB drive, but I'm wondering if there's a way to get it under External Storage under settings?

Its likely it will show up in root explorer or root browser as ext. storage or sdcard something of that nature just a guess tho could even have factory label like scandsk

Yeah, I know it does, but I was hoping I could get it under settings too, to see how much of music, apps, etc are taking it up.
Or maybe a way I can even mount it as a SD card.
Ahh I see then I have no answer

Pick up a USB OTG Cable and get a flash drive (flash drives are preferred over actual external hard drives, unless the hard drives has external power).
Buy the Nexus Media Importer app ($3 or $4, cant remember).
Done!
If you only need to read to it, then having the USB drive as NTFS is fine. If you need to write to it as well, it'll need to be Fat or Fat32 (keep in mind, it's a little tougher to format anything over 32GB to Fat32. Usually need a 3rd party program)

If you use Nexus Media Importer, no root required. If you are rooted, you can use Stickmount (free I believe).

You must have root to use Stickmount, without root your only hope is Nexus Media Importer, and it does not really mount so much as access.

Then why were you trying to use stickmount? That has nothing to do with what you are doing, it is used for otg.
Just plug the tablet in, install the drivers, and that's all there is to it. If that's not working, then you either have a driver issue, or usb ppt or cable issue.

If you mean mount the internal at / to your PC, I think what you're wanting was removed, you may have to find an alternate method. You can also use adb push/pull.

No worries.
Hello! I've got a 64GB USB C drive I'd like to use with my bone stock Nexus 5x. It's formatted through the phone, and I get the notification to explore the device storage. Unfortunately, just about no other app can see the device storage. No file manager except for ES File Explorer can see it. Most importantly, I'd like an app called LocalCast to see the device storage for casting media from the drive to Chromecast and other DLNA players without copying to device storage first. But like I say, they don't seem to see the drive.
Is there any way to get this to work? I'm open to rooting if it would make it work, but this is my first experience with OTG, so thought I'd ask here first.
64GB Sandisk micro-sd, formatted to FAT32 with the phone. stickmount(pro) installed and the card is recognized by every app on Nexus 5X MM 6.0.1. Poweramp & MX Player both do auto scan of the card when inserted. I also have a 128GB card formatted to exFAT, it doesn't get recognized by anything other than SolidExplorer's USB plug-in.
Just go with FAT32 Format and get Stickmount app should do the trick.

Yip as stated above stickmount is required for nexus's if rooted.
Otherwise try a play store search for "otg" if unrooted

I see! I kind of thought it would work out of the box with marshmallow but this is very helpful. I just wanted to make sure it would help before I pulled the trigger on root. Thanks guys!

What format is the HDD in?
It's just a seagate external hard drive that I used to plug in and transfer files super easy

That wasn't the question what format is the HDD in like NTFS or FAT32?
I would assume fat 32

Ok well you can try two apps one is to mount the drive and the other to read it both are on the play store.

I think it had something to do with debug settings in development options. I had installed Andromeda and left it checked. All working fine now. Thanks for your time :good:
Hi everyone,
I see connecting USB via OTG to Firestick 4K doesn't allow it to be converted as internal storage unlike other Android devices.
Which is obviously every firestick owner must be looking for to expand the Internal storage.
A humble request to all the Android Developers here.. Could you please find a solution to this?
Thanks in advance
I was able to get it to work by following this tutorial, it allows you to have part of the USB as internet and another part external. Apps seem to run a little slower, but still work fine.
After formatting USB correctly I used the app2sd app
to move apps to adoptable storage, as the firestick doesn't have a migrate option built in.

Can you please provide a step by step guide ?
In apps2sd , when you select a app to move, it just takes you to the firestick --- settings --- manage apps section. There is no option there to move any apps to USB.
Can you link the app you used please ?
Sent you a PM as well.
Thanks[
In app2sd you click on link apps to SD card. Then click on the app you want to move. Then click the menu button in the top right corner, and click move to adoptable, or move to SD, I'm not sure which it was.

That's not for adoptable storage, but this might work - > https://forum.xda-developers.com/fi...firetv4k-ntfs-f2fs-ext4-t3991981/post80737367
Apps2SD is working pretty well for me if I only use the file linking option, not Adoptable stoarage. My device has more room and feels faster than when using adoptable storage. I also don't like that it changes your default install location to external.
*On a rooted firestick 4k, flash this kernel to get f2fs access.
*Backup your files to a computer disk drive.
*Format your USB drive into 2 partitions: 1. Storage (fat32) 2. Extended (f2fs).
**I used Gparted while booted into the FireISO USB drive I made to unlock the bootloader and root the Firestick. You can also do it in Apps2SD but I had trouble with it.
**I made my first partiton 105Gb, and second 10Gb.
*Attach the USB drive to the Firestick and install Apps2SD apk. Open it and go into Settings. Change dev/block option to say "/dev/block/sda" without quotes.
*Back out of settings and go to the top optioin: Link Apps to SD. Then open the icon menu in the Left corner. Choose Recreate Mount Script. Say OK and Yes to all prompts. Wait until the script is successfully created. Reboot.
*Last link some apps to your SD card. I don't suggest system apps or anything that accesses system apps like Titanium Backup. For apps that slow down a lot (your browser), link everything EXCEPT the Data folders. This is often the largest folder, but the performance hit is not worth the space you save.
Hope this helps someone.
does Pretoriano80 kernel work with "Stick Mount" or do I need to remove this ?
2nd gen firestick
Does the app2sd work with a 2nd gen fire stick? Any info is appreciated. FYI I have a USB thumb drive not a sdcard. Will a sdcard work if using a sdcard on a USB sdcard reader?
