format it and try to make sure it works with another device to confirm its working then double check you have all the right stuff enabled in yout moto g.
eg usb debugging, root status, busybox perhaps., ect.
I have tried with 2 pen drives. Both working perfectly on pc..
My phone is not rooted. What is usb debugging??

Don't need root, busy box or usb debugging set.
What file system format are the drives? You need FAT32 for best compatibility between devices.
I have formatted the pen drive in fat32.. When I connect any pen drive in moto g, it is showing ' Damaged USB storage'
And in the notification area 'USB storage is damaged. Try formatting it'
When I try to format from moto g, screen goes black for 2 second and nothing happens..
Really fed up... I have not rooted my phone.. It is running kit kat
Please help me

Not 100 percent sure but i beleive someone said that you need to boot the device with the usb plugged in for it to recognize some drives?

It should be listed as usbdrive using your favorite file manager. Usually under
...
...
sdcard
sdcard2
usbdrive
Its not like windows. It doesn't pop up with a window when you plug it in. Flash drive must be formatted fat32. Android doesn't like ntfs

I do see the USB drive bit it's always empty. USB drive is fat32 formatted.
Using a USB mouse works great. I don't get a popup which notifies me about a connected usb drive like my archos 101 did.
Did a little discovery:
When connecting the tab to pc with a usb cable only then a "mount usb" message pops up.
Then a usb drive will work.
Now how do i get the gtab to mount the usb drive ?
I don't think any of these roms are gonna give you a popup when you load a usb drive. I just plugged one in on tnt 3.1 and it reads it thru file manager. I was on vegan beta4 and did the same thing yesterday
Edit: usb disk not usb drive
When you connect a cable from your pc to the tablet the pop up is to allow the tab to unmount the internal sdcard so your pc can read it.

I do not understand...what is location of the usb files then ?
Open iFileManager and hit the icon that looks like a house. Scroll down and you will find a folder named usbdisk. That is your usb drive. Open the folder. I'm assuming the usb drive is plugged in

/usbdrive is empty.
It becomes populates when i insert a mini usb cable and connect it to the pc.
This give me the mount option and only then i see files under /usbdrive.
idk then, I never had a problem reading the usb drive on vegan beta4. Sorry I can't help
OK, found it.
I have to unmount the sdcard first. Then the usb drive shows with files.
Thanks.
Cool....You may wanna drop a note in the vegan thread on what you did. Maybe others have had the same issue.

Hey. I just got a USB Flash Drive and tried connecting it to my GTab but no dice. I am running Vegan 5.1 and using ES File Explore. I navigate to the root directory and see sdcard, sdcard2, and usbdisk. Sdcard and sdcard2 has my internal storage and my micro usb storage files respectively. But nothing pops us in usbdisk. I tried removing the microsd, rebooting with the USB inserted, and unmounting the microSD but no dice.
Any hints?
Thanks,
Scott
Update: So I tried going to settings and unmounting the sdcard and now I can see the USBdisk. Odd. If I want to transfer data from one drive to another, I cant accomplish that because the SDcard is unmounted. Also all my appdata and stuff are not present. Any way to have both of these drives mounted at the same time?
Thanks

I have tried about 3 of them but nothing happens.
Is there a certain format it needs to be ? (Fat32) etc.
Do i need a special kernel?
Which cable did you buy? I'm about to buy an OTG cable as well.

Try to connet usb mass storage into recovery so might get to know that it is a software or hardware problem
Sent from my LG-P690 using xda premium
I have already tried it. Nothing :/ is there any way to fix this?
Install the new LG USB driver. No need of any suite. Check cable and ports.
It will work.

I want build my own OTG hidden and attached to a case, but I don't known how can move the data aplication to an usb and run the games or apps? Exist something like link2sd or app2sd for USB???
How you are going to charge the device when all the time there is an OTG device attached ?

Y USB cable?
??? give me a hint. To charge it, You will need to unmount the ext drive (disconnect usb device) and plug in the usb charging cable.

Nice ! Where do you think to put all this including the mass storage in the case ? I'm very interested in your mod. Post some pics when you are ready plz.
HI guys, I am very satisfied with this phone when I got it a week ago. However, I was facing sometimes my phone unable to mount USB OTG storage, I mean the USB drive won't lit at all / detect by phone, I have to reboot the phone then it only gets detected. Any other way round to solve this without rebooting?
I haven't had trouble using my OTG usb stick so far. Have you tried using Nexus Media Importer? It lets you mount/unmount on demand.
Does it show the USB drive as unmounted in the Storage menu?
Also, did you try a different thumb drive with a different filesystem on it? I cannot reproduce your issue at all.
Ok after my investigation, the USB OTG still works but just the USB port of my phone unable to supply power, if I use a power bank + USB hub then connect to my phone, my phone detects the USB drive. Similar to somewhat my phone requires external power to mount. But if I reboot my phone then the USB OTG work properly again though. Until I remove and remount it next time, then the problem occur again.
Currently my phone setup as my signature. No custom kernel but just recovery.

Ok I know whats the problem now. You can try during deep sleep insert in your USB OTG. It can't detect at all even if you remove and reinsert. Have to reboot the phone. So my guess is right I think. The phone have to screen on to insert USB OTG or else it cannot detect.

few older phones supported 500gig portable hard drive too but did not support 1tb, my phone will be delivered tomorrow I'll update here then.
Fingers crossed.
I just tried a 16GB USB drive through an OTG cable, and it didn't detect it. My screen was on, and I was running stickmount as well.
I had to restart the phone to get it to detect.
I have the same issue with my N8010. Have to restart to get it to recognise the USB.
Hopefully, there will be a simple solution to this.

Awesome, so my 1TB is working with the one no problems whatsoever.:thumbup:

Well it seems in my case it's rather random, sometimes USB drives (or HDD's) will mount, other times nothing happens at all, while some drives refuse to mount at all.
Maybe it's faulty cable don't know?
I have problem
I was able to mount USB 3.0 64 gb without any formating, and it shows in settings too, but now I can't see it in settings and in El file explorer it is very slow.. What should I do, I can't format to fat32
Same Problem
