I've got one; OTG works out of the box on my first gen Moto G.

Yes, you dont need to do anything extra to make OTG work.

No more OTG needed

Did anyone check this out!
No more OTG needed!!!!
The pend drive connects directly!!

"There is also the free SanDisk Memory Zone app that allows for quick backups either to the memory card or online storage services like DropBox allowing you to free up your Android device’s internal memory."

Meenova do this too - but smaller & better
Agree on the meenova solution, plus it comes with a micro USB to full USB adapter to be able to plug in a full size stick right into the phone.

My mistake here. I looked again and the adapter is micro usb that plugs into the phone with a exposed USB A. A lot like this:

I got a Iball hybrid pen drive. Great for storing all movies and music.

micro usb on the other end and a full size usb on the other, a microsd slot fits on the mouth of the full usb head.

[Q] USB Memory Stick.

Hi.
Can someone tell me what the maximum size memory stick I can attach to my Note 10.1 via a OTG cable as I would like to take some ripped DVD/Blu Ray films with me on holiday, just in case the weather intervenes.
Thanks
I dont think there is a limit as I can connect my 2tb portable hdd with no problems. Have tried a 128gb memory stick and that works with no issues.

Thank you very much indeed.
I've tried a 1TB HDD and it worked just fine. It isn't a flash drive (AKA USB Memory Stick), but if it worked, then I'd say that the only limit you have is the limit of the max capacity that the manufacturers use.
Just be sure that whatever you use is formatted as FAT32 or else it won't read.
NTFS won't read for certain.
Good advice on the formatting of the HDD. Personally I use ExFat. Better for handling larger capacity disks and the note is perfectly happy with it.

USB OTG Mod, Imation, 2-IN-1 MICRO USB + SanDisk, Cruzer Fit USB

Hello people, I just want to share my new USB OTG mod. My aim is to have a smaller size mini USB OTG for my Moto G. Since I cannot find any in the market, i decided to just make some modifications.
As a result, I got 3cm USB.
See attached images.
Good idea. I just got a Moto G couple weeks ago, already purchased the short 90 degree OTG cables (one with external power connector). Looking to get the Small Sandisk FIT (maybe 32Gb or 64Gb size).
Sandisk should make an OTG version with only the microUSB connector. It could then only stick out a small amount.

If you want something with just the microUSB connector, you can always get a Meenova
I just ordered a meenova yesterday, looks like a great little device. I also spotted something similar in target last night. I forget the brand, but it was about 1.5 inches and was micro usb on one side and usb on the other with 16GB of storage for $19.99

Micro usb memory like this?

Someone knows if exist a microUSB memory like those wireless chargers
http*://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41CSlqqW5CL.jpg
(delete * please)
like this but instead a small memory or what is better option for moto g without memory slot
Regards
It seems that the motog has an OTG micro usb port, so it's possible that such a device exist. However haven't seen one so far. But if you're good at DIY stuff, it's not a very bid deal to make your own ! Just buy a male micro usb plug and a micro sd car, solder everything together and there you go
It may not look as clean as your picture, but should work like a charm You could even add a cms del to see when the phone is using it !
OTG
The moto g suppots all the usb memories incluides the micro SD to USB adapter if you have the micro USB to USB Host.
anyone knows how these .sandisk dot com/products/usb/dualdrive (sorry , cant post the full link ) work with the moto g ? (1st gen)
can for example be used to record video from the phone cam directly there or only move the file to there after being saved in . the phone memory ?
Dual usb port drive does not work in my KitKat 4.4 moto g 1st gen. I tested. The phone switches off itself when plugged in with USB stick.

I just bought microusb to usb adapter cable and that worked fine. If you attach a flash drive it works like an external sdcard. I believe there are microusb to sdcard adapters as well.
Solved. The problem was with mounting and unmounting. Once dual usb fixed firmly and mounted problem resolves.

Biggest Flash drive?

I have the Samsung galaxy tab s 10.5 and I would like to know if a 256g flash drive will work? I watch movies and TV shows on the go, 64g is not enough (the Simpsons season 1 - 25 needs about 100g) I don't have a computer anymore just my tablet. I bought the seagate wireless plus 1tb and I couldn't get it to work, don't want to order a 256g flash drive and have same trouble. Any help would be great
Sorry no I am not rooted and due to the fact that I use my Samsung allshare cast hub daily and root items can't use the hub
Anyone?
Don't you mean SD card.? Some people say the highest you can go is 64 or 128gb
128 GB is the highest you can go

He probably means OTG cable with a hard drive. Simple drives tend to work the larger drives need more power to work via USB.

There is an available of cable that's a "y".....one leg is the USB and the other is another female micro USB for your charging cable. Can't remember where on ebay I got mine but it does work for my external hard drives with my GS5
128gb sd card is not big enough so I thought k would try a 256gb OTG flash drive. Has anyone tested?

This question left me extremely curious, so I have just purchased an OTG cable which will arrive in a few days. I will test out a few different EXT HDD sizes and post what the maximum my OTG will allow.
I do however forsee an increase in the discharge of the battery for larger storage devices, but we shall see.
Can't wait to see what u find
I'm gonna buy a sandisk ultra 64gb microUSB otg and I was looking for a bigger one but this must be the biggest one they have, can't wait to test it out. What I'll do is if my shows or movies won't fit I'm gonna have to erase the ones I've seen then try to make them fit. I suggest you get a 128gb micro SD card plus a big sized flash drive then you should be okay.

So I bought an OTG cable off ebay, and it arrived. I didn't change the format of any of my external drives as I don't have the space to store anything currently anywhere else. The tablet registers there is a drive connected however it can't mount the storage device due to an unknown format. The externals I tried were 2 portables (1x 500Gb usb2.0 and 1x 1Tb usb 3.0) and 2 desktops (1x 1.5Tb and 1x 1Tb both usb 2.0). Over the next few days I will attempt to reformat the 500 Gb and 1Tb portables, and the 1Tb desktop and see if that produces any results. Due to work constraints this may take a few days, so thank you for patience. Results will be posted as soon as possible. Current format of all the externals is default NTFS.
Another Option
There's another option in which would require multiple devices unfortunately due to the limited storage. Its a product I currently use myself called "Toshiba Duo 2 in 1.
http://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/...flash-drive-toduo64grd?searchTerm=Toshina Duo
Unfortunately I am still working on my other drives. There's is a lot of moving data around (limited to USB 2.0 speeds), so please keep posted on my other externals.
