A program to do what? If your on a Mac use android file transfer. Pc don't require no special program. Just make sure you hit mtp after you attach the usb cord to the phone and computer
OK thank you

AirDroid might be worth a look as a companion for PC and phone but I prefer Solid Explorer to access my network shares from my phone.
Thanks again!

I am using a Dell XPS 15 9550, it has a USB-C port on it already so I can just plug my phone in with a USB-C to USB-C cable

I connect all of my computers at home using my incredible and wireless tether for root. Will i be able to connect a wireless printer to my incredible and be able to have my other computers print to it?

I'm not sure how the phone routes exactly... I'm going to guess and say if you can hop on one computer and see another (ping, file share, etc) then it might work. But I can't tell you for sure.
Tapatalk Pro Sig. Yep, boring.
I have Android File Transfer installed (which works some of the time with my Nexus 4), I have USB debugging active, but my new N7 isn't recognized by my Macbook Pro 17" 2009. It charges, but doesn't show up as a drive, nor does Android File Transfer recognize it.
How can I transfer files over USB?
I use the Android File Transfer utility on my MacBook Air.
Works just fine..

Yeah, AFT works fine with my Nexus 4 but not my Nexus 7 (2013). Frustrating.
Dual boot. Jk lol
Aft works on my n4, haven't tried with my n7 yet

Im using xbmc but would like to add an external hdd

Not possible atm. For now just connect the external drive to a PC on the same network and present it as an SMB/NFS share and add it to XBMC.

It is possible now actually. The root has been released, stickmount now is installable.
That was posted before the root was released. Now anything is possible

This is how: http://www.firetvnews.com/how-to-play-media-files-from-external-usb-storage-on-amazon-fire-tv/
Hi, i have one, and i have buy usb otg cable. I can access the files, from google explorer, not from others, but i can not play files, like films.
I can copy the files to the nexus 5x memory and then play them.
Any way to work from the usb otg?
Do you have something that can play that codec? If you don't have something that can play the file it will not open. Try VLC for example and see if they work.

I think he means that he can't play it in the default built in media applications, on account of it not being cataloged in the media database. But like you suggested, VLC should be able to do that.
I had VLC, i can not play my video files from my USB OTG, i can see then, but i can open then, to play
From others file explorers i can not access my USB OTG, only from android 6 explorer
I don't bother with other explorers when I use mine. Did you check permissions for the other file explorers? They are off by default so you may need to turn on some stuff.

I just tried it and it works for me. I ran the scrubber back and forth and stop in various spots using ES. I had to borrow my coworkers porn collection lol.

Hello just wondering if anyone what's tried to use a USB type c flash drive (otg flash drive) like this one
https://www.sandisk.com/home/mobile-device-storage/ultra-dual-usb-type-c
I'm wondering if the music app will recognize music from a otg flash drive so I can keep music on it instead of the phone? Has anyone tried this?

I just noticed now with the L update none of my file managers can see the thumb drive. I have to use the built in. No apps that can find data can't see the thumb either.

Looks like L does break it. Wonder if M fixes it.

Anyone know how to get OTG to work on non rooted phone?
Sent from my SM-N930V using Tapatalk
Use the USB adapter that's in the box or purchase a third party option. I use the adapter that came with the phone, but I also have this one and it works great. No root is required for either.
Thanks
