You have to root it and use stickmount or buy nexus media importer.

I have an issue with OTG on my new nexus 7, I plugged in a Microsoft wireless mouse nano transceiver, and the nexus thinks it's a keyboard as well, so it disables the on screen keyboard. What can be done to fix this?

I've been scouring the internet looking for an answer about USB host mode on the 2013 Nexus 7 as well, and I can't find anything about it, other than one stray comment on the Google Play store saying that it does not. I'm still hoping that it will though. I ordered two of them at work, they will be here on Tuesday. I'll try a USB device on one of them first thing, and I will let you know.
If the 2013 Nexus 7 doesn't have host mode, I'll be sticking with a 2012 Nexus 7. That's a dealbreaker for me.
Nexus Media Importer is supposed to work. Otherwise rooting and using an app like Stickmount will give you full functionality.
Same situation with Gen1 Nexus 7.
Got my hands on one. An Apple USB keyboard and USB flash drive works, a USB mouse did not. By default it provides 8 mA, and the Apple keyboard drew 80 mA.
This should work. It's an MicroUSB OTG cable (It came with an Android Stick), and attached to it is one of the little USB MicroSD card readers that are often included when you buy the SD Card.
(The card is shown pulled out from the reader).
I cannot verify that it works, because I just got my N7(2013) tonight, and I have not yet rooted or installed Nexus Media Importer.
For right now, I stuck my old tablet's card in the Micro-reader, and stuck the micro reader in the USB port on my NAS, and I am pulling everything back down with ES File.
I'll try mounting OTG Storage - perhaps from the command line, once I get some time to play with this thing.

The review on engadget says it does support OTG.
http://www.engadget.com/2013/07/29/nexus-7-review-2013/
I have the new 2013 Nexus 7 and the only way I can get OTG to work is to start up the tablet w/ the OTG cable connected.
It's a bummer. Does anyone else have this issue?

I bought Nexus Media Importer and it doesn't work for me either. There's a massage on their website about problems with certain devices under 4.3.
http://nexususb.blogspot.fr/2013/07/android-4.html
the app USB OTG Helper app in Play works fine on mine. My Nexus 7 FLO is rooted and unlocked.
as posted previously by another member, stickmount will also work too, and free from Gplay
Mine works really well with Stickmount. No needing to start the tablet with otg connected, etc. Just plug and play.

Good to know that OTG works, as they still make these things with too little storage and no MicroSD. Thanks for the info.
Have had success on the stock ROM unrooted with Nexus Media importer. Was initially having some problems but it turned out to be a bad cable. Changed the cable and no problems.

Has anybody successfully mounted a 64gb usb 3.0 drive? I have no problems with a SanDisk 32gb usb 3.0 drive but when I try a Silicon Power 64gb usb 3.0 drive it can't be found. I've tried Stickmount and USB OTG Helper and the LED indicator blinks and both programs start up automatically when I plug in the drive but it's not found. My USB OTG cable works for the Sandisk 32gb but not the Silicon Power 64gb.

How's the drive formatted? I imagine here's a good chance a 64GB flash drive will be formatted with exFAT, which stock Android can't deal with.
(That said, I have a 64GB drive here which came formatted with FAT32... and no tablet to plug it into yet...)

The 32gb that works and the 64gb that does not work are both formatted with NTFS. I can't use FAT32 because of the file size restrictions.

IIRC, a stock, out-of-the-box, N7 can not use any USB drives. It requires helper apps, like Stickmount, which usually require, at a minimum, rooting the device. My understanding is that Nexus Media Importer (available as a paid app in the Google Store) does not need root. I have not tried it personally, though.

Thank you for the response.
I have taken a regular usb drive, connected with a micro usb OTG cable to the drive and used "Nexus Media Importer" and it works. My question is if I were to take one of these new Leaf or PQI drives which already have a micro usb connector and stick it into my Nexus and use the "Nexus Media Importer" will it also work? And if so why have Leaf and PQI not mentioned Nexus 7 2013 in there list?
It could be that they have not tested these drives against Nexus 7. So before I bought it I wanted to know if some one in this forum had already tested it and it had worked.

I suspect that it will work and they haven't tested them with the N7. That said, I've never used one so I can't be certain.
HI,
I'm thinking of buying seagate backup plus 1tb external hdd(no external power supply required) to use it for USB OTG with nexus 7 2013.
Will it work? I'm rooted and have stickmount installed with ntfs binaries, works well with a 128gb flash drive.
Heard it works for galaxy s4,as the nexus is a tablet, it should work right?
Thanks
PS: Don't worry about file system stuff. I just want to know if nexus 7 is able to power it up and if anyone's been using it.
So recently I have been reading in forum due to low space on nexus 7 ppl were speaking about this things.
I gave no idea what was that so I Google it but the only thing I understood war OTG (ON THE GO)
If any 1 would be so kind in detail explain me how that thing is working I would be really happy

Hook up the otg cable to your nexus micro USB port, connect a memory stick on the other end of your otg and BAAAAM, you've got more storage

USB-OTG might not work out-of-the-box on custom ROMs.
If its not working you can try these apps to torubleshoot:
- OTG Troubleshooter
- USB Host Diagnostics
If the USB drive is not mounting then try these:
- USB OTG Helper
- StickMount
Both mounting apps and the stock mounting method mount the USB drive at different paths.
Try for the replies can you give me some link to buy one from amazon stable since I don't have idea

I tried all the recommended apps, nothing seems to detect the USB stick mounted. I know the USB stick and cable works, because when I reboot into recovery I can back up and restore from otg USB.
What else can I do to figure out why I can't mount the otg USB?

Fixed!!! I finally got otg working!!!
So here's what I did. I'm running cm11. I flashed elementalx kernel but one thing I did different was I did NOT enable usb fast charge.
So from what it seems if you have USB fast charge otg doesn't work!
I hope this helps others...

If you have problems with otg and a custom rom you can flash the Bulletproof kernel.
Since there has been no mention of drives I'll add some info.
I can use otg with 2.5 inch drives without external power. (both fat32 and ntfs formats). 3.5 inch drives require external power.
I use stickmount pro (requires root).
I'm running stock firmware and kernel. - KOT49H

To get drives to work I had to install stickmount pro but mice and keyboards do not need any extras. *Here is the cable I use. *I retested my setup and everything works as previously described. - Nexus 7 (2013) 32gig. *I'm running the stock kernel but with custom roms I use Bulletproof kernel.
I'm guessing you mean ES Explorer as I can't find EZ Explorer. *It works for me mounted as usbStorage/sda1 using ES Explorer, etc.
Note: stickmount requires some extras placed in your sdcard root.

Well I just found out the turbo 2 doesn't transfer from the device to a USB but it does transfer from the USB to the device. This sucks I need it to work the other way. I hope they fix this with marshmallow or a small update. There is not reason a device should not support this in today's day and age.

I know that this was last posted two months ago but I'm pissed that this function has been turned off by Motorola. I tried multiple otg's and thumb drives. And nothing, doesn't even recognize the otg. Downloaded a app off of play store to run a check on it and it come back like the turbo 2 doesn't support otg. I use it for Movies and transferring files between devices. Has anyone found a fix or at least heard anything from Motorola about it?

Went on Motorola forums and Mark was useless. Told me he would look into it and never got back to me. I did find a work around. Download USB otg file manager for nexus from the play store it works on the turbo 2. only issue is its slower then having it native in the OS. It can take 5 to 10 minutes to transfer a movie depending on size.

Its taken me awhile to get back on here. I work non stop and forget about things. I've tried multiple otg apps and this is what i got the last time. It's ridiculous. My wife has the same phone and it wont work on hers either.
Ok, this is my last post about this. I plugged the otg cored in with a wireless mouse and it worked. I have 4 different brands and sizes of thumb drives and non of them work. It seems like the phone isn't pushing out enough power through the otg cord to read the thumb drives. Any ideas?
Moto X Force here, just plugged my CorsairVoyager Go 64Gb , read and write ok
Did you grand USB Storage permissions ? If not you can read but not write
Just install ES explorer, the first time you'll try to write on the usb storage a permissions pop-up will appear and guide you through to accept sd-card write or usb-storage write
-->
if storage permissions don't work maybe Verizon disabled some OTG functions that are enable in the international version (Moto X Force) (((((((
My Turbo 2 has worked fine with OTG since day one... using a Meenova Dash Micro, shows up under "Storage" in Settings and can be accessed by any app...
Ok, im not going to let this go because it bugs me. I have four flash drives of different brands and sizes. My wife found a 2gb PNY flash drive from about 6 years ago and have it to me yesterday. I said to hell with it and plugged in the otg cable and put the flash drive in. Hell froze over quickly because it worked. It's the only one that has worked so far and I do not understand it because it's old. It's formatted in FAT. The rest of my flash drives are formatted FAT32. Anyone have a clue because I sure don't. I was going to re format my other flash drives but I shouldn't have to because my nexus and my s5 read them just fine.
If you want to copy files without changing time stamp you should use Root Explorer ou ES File Manager, works fine for me
Ok, just for a update... I gave up on this for awhile. I had been trying to use Toshiba, Sandisk and PNY usb 2.0 Flash drives and none of those would work. I had ordered a Sandisk usb 3.0 off of Amazon a few weeks back and i had forgotten that i had gotten it. I found it in my drawer and tried it with the otg cable and it worked. I tried it on my wife's turbo 2 and it worked on hers. So I've found a brand and usb type that will work with my phone so I'll stick with it.

I am using Es file explorer pro and it works with any USB device. From what I can tell you have to grant permission to the file explorer. Not all ask for permission so the transfer fails.

I thought I'd add my experience here. I bought an X Force, and on day one tried a 64Gb SanDisk USB stick. It worked fine, and I started watching a movie. On day 2 I took the Marshmallow OTA, tried the USB stick again (to finish watching the movie) and... no joy. After a bit of research, I believe that this is because the USB stick is formatted as exFAT, and it looks as if Moto dropped support for exFAT in Marshmallow.
I have the Droid Turbo 2, USA Verizon - and the Sandisk USB 3.0 with the dual port. The thumbdrive worked on my Kindle Fire 7", and my buddy's Galaxy Note 5, no problem. It even worked on my kindle fire when formatted to NTFS. It doesn't work on my Droid, with the MicroUSB plug, or when the normal USB 3.0 end is plugged into an OTG cable. However, if I plug the sandisk thumbdrive into a Sabrent USB 3.0 hub, plug that into my OTG cable, and plug that into the Droid Turbo 2, I can read everything just fine.
Then looks like that Turbo doesn't provide enough power to usb device or doesn't provide it at all.
But, I have Oppo portable headphone DAC amplifier HA-2 (and PM-3 headphones, awesome sound) and works out of the box with Force. Even indicate charging if I use generic OTG cable. With Oppo cable, amplifier is not draining any energy from the phone.
I'll try USB stick with Force...
