Do I need to be rooted to use it ? And I know I have to download an app to use it but which app free preferably? If I have to root it can I stay on my stock ROM ? Because I love my nexus the way it is.

No. You can use Nexus Media Importer, and it should work. There should be a couple discussions in the Accessories forum that you can search out for people with actual experience using that app. Personally, I'm stock rooted, and I use Stickmount with my Meenova card reader. It works flawlessly for me using my SanDisk 64GB Ultra Micro SD Card. Also, for full read/write compatibility, your SD Card needs to be formatted to FAT32. I believe exFAT and NTFS are supported, but only for read and not write compatibility.
Nexus Media Importer will work if you are not rooted. However It's not free. I'm rooted and I use this soft anyway because I love it

If you use CyanogenMod, CyanogenMod has built in USB-OTG support so you can just browse the files on the MicroSD using any regular File management utility, just like the built in File Manager in CyanogenMod.

Check out the Play Store. There are tons of apps out there that will allow you to transfer apps to your SD card. Titanium Backup has a batch setting to move all user apps to SD Card (not sure if you need PRO or not)
You are very confused about my question huh

Is any one else having this problem?
Can it read other SD cards? My wife has received three 64GB microSD cards in a row,all from different stores, that were bad and wouldn't mount in hers or my phone. But we can mount any other SD card fine. They do have a high failure rate. You can see it all over the forums here.

I've had this problem with a 64 class. 10 sandisk. Card. Recognizes fine in my wife's s3 but mine it doesn't. Her is stock and I'm rooted and rom'ed. Going to try and Odin stock with it installed and see if that fixes it. Then just reinstall cwm and rom

Most custom roms won't recognize a card formatted with exFat. You will need to format the card with fat32 to use it...

Formatted with dos cmd prompt app I found online and now my phone reads the card

We need to compile a list of ROMs that support exFAT. In this day and age of huge capacity sdcards and the ability to rip movies, the lack of exFAT support is becoming a major liability.

You cannot do that with ICS and above versions of Android, there is app called App2SD which will swap your internal memory with SD card but you need to be rooted and install Intd to make the app work.
Again there is no easy way
Got other way without root the device ... now I ran out of space ..

Use exynos exploit to root. Search forum for it.
Once rooted search for link2sd and it will let u move game data to sd card. Search forum for it. Only hard part is how to partition sd card.
App2sd does not work for note 10.1.

You got link2sd working... I can't get bit to work. I only tried on cm10 tho

To get it to work you need int.d (not exactly sure what it is) but it wont work until you have it or do it
I have an external hard drive that supports FAT32 and would like to get it to work without rooting and without buying an app.
I would like the best possible solution for reading and downloading files from the hard drive to the nexus 5.
Thanks.

Install Total Commander: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ghisler.android.TotalCommander and then
Install USB Stick Plugin: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.hechler.tcplugins.usbstick
Open Total Commander and click on usb stick and do what you want
But its only a free trial I need something more permanent. Can I use the commander as a standalone app or do I need a plug in ?

The free trial gets extended as and when the app gets updated... I have used it for ages!
Total Commander is a file manager and it needs USB Stick Plugin to enable USB OTG!
If you don't want to pay that's the only option if you're fully stock.
If are rooted, then you can try out different roms/kernels which have native support for USB OTG.. I can confirm that AICP with ElementalX works great! I just use ES File Explorer to browse my flash drive!

It's a paid app and OP has clearly stated that he doesn't want to pay. If you're telling him to use cracked apps, it's against the forum rules m8!
I've got this 64GB sd card that I've had problems with.
Can anyone recommend an app that will analyze it and check to see if it's fraudulent?
What's the best filesystem for an sd card anyways? Fat32? More info the better!
Thanks.

you can check it using (ChkFlsh) it's a tiny applicaton runs on windows that will check the card by filling it and read it so you would know if its okay
regarding the file system i think you can only go with fat 32 , as exfat and ntfs are not recognizable by all roms
