Hi
I'm trying to use my Samsung S3 to copy files from a USB card reader or Canon 7D to a USB hard drive. So far I've managed to get it to copy files but it keeps stopping with the error
Write error
---------------------------
Error writing to target file!
///usb/<DV02LU00P01>500Gb
usb/IMG_0022.CR2!
The point it stops isn't consistent, sometimes it copies 2 files, sometimes 13, sometimes 7 etc
The story so far:
1. Using an USB OTG Hub
2. Using Total Commander and USB-Stick Plugin v1.3.13
3. Phone is Rooted
4. Using a Transcend usb3 card reader
5. I've tried copying from the card reader to the phones internal memory
6. I've tried copying from the card reader to the phones extsdcard
7. I've tried copying from the card reader to the usb hard disk
8. I've used 3 different power supplies for the hub in case there was a power shortage.
9. I've used RawVision to copy directly from my Canon 7D to phones internal sd card
It seems that it is possible but it's very unreliable. I would really like it if I could set it going at night to copy a 16Gb card to the usb hard drive and know that it will do it.
Thanks for any help received.

I am trying to copy an 80Mb file to my card via my ActiveSync connection. It gets about 25% of the way and I lose the connection. I have tried with a card reader and still it fails (and stops my reader responding). I have tried formatting the card but still have the same problem. This problem has always existed but after repeated attemps I have always managed to get the file across - but this time it just will not go!
Does anyone else have problems like this?
It is strange that you cant copy to the card via a card reader/writer. Have you tried formatting on the pda and the pc. There is a good program called storage tools for formatting, it has many options.

I had some issues like that with my Dazzle USB 2.0 card reader when plugged into my USB2.0 port.
I'd attempt to copy a large file over, then it would come up with some error, the drives would then disappear then re-appear but I wouldn't be able to copy to the drive again until I removed the device from the USB port.
I gave up in the end and bought a Shuttle USB2.0 3.5" bay card reader and have had no problems since.
I recently Purchased the Asus External USB and External Card Reader. Both work excellent. My Question when using either external adaptor with a hard drive or sd card all files are easily accessed with the file manager but No Files (Pictures,Music,Movies) will sync with any Apps Like it does with the Micro Sd Card. Am I missing something or is there a walk around for this?
Hello,
New to Android and new to this forum. I have my TF700T two weeks now and I'm glad I bought it. My target is to copy the content of my Compact Flash cards (16GB each - from my DSLR) to a portable hard drive. Therefore I tried to connect both a card reader and a portable hard drive via an auto-powered USB-hub to the only usb-connection of my tablet. I even tried with another hub and even with a third hub. The only result was that my tablet only found the first device that was connected (regardless wich one: the CF-card or the HD) with the hub and not both at the same time, so copying from the CF-card to the drive isn't possible in one step. Sure I can copy the CF-card to the internal memory of the tablet and in a second pass move it to the HD, but that is very time-consuming.
Anyone who knows how to connect more then one usb-device at the same time via a powered USB-hub and do a file transfer between them? Your help is greatly appriciated.
You can use wi fi transfer to do it with a file manager, like file expert.

@tbtaf: When on vacation or on a photo trip I only have that portable hd, my tablet and a powered usb hub. I think a Wifi appraoch is not applicable then. Or am I missing something?
Sounds like you need to setup a second mount point for the additional device - don't know if that can actually be done or not, but I do know that some people who could not even connect the first device were able to manually specify the device by mounting it in a terminal window.
I'm not sure 100% on the code, but let me try to find out.
Or you could copy the 16 Gb CF card onto the pad's internal memory (or external MicroSD card), disconnect it, connect the HD and then copy it out again.

He already mentioned, he doesn't want to do this, he wants to copy straight.
For now, it's not possible since the powered hub or non power hub unable to recognize 2 devices at the same time.
CF, now there's nostalgia if anything. I thought those became outdated over 3 years ago... Fact is the CF is hardly compatible with mobile devices these days.
No, you can't copy from an external cardreader directly onto an external HDD through your tablet. It can only read 1 storage device in the USB port. Multiple devices works, but multiple storages doesn't. Some people have had some success with USB Flashdrives/Pendrives instead of HDD's though. You could try that.
You can copy from an SD to HDD easily though, so you could consider using an SD with a CF adapter if your camera has no SD slot. (SD's have the added advantage that the pins can't bent.)
Hello I an running a Droid Z2 Force. I have several cameras in which store pics/vid on SD cards. I generally use the Samsung EVO Select 32GB cards. I have a USB C to USB A 3.0 adapter. And a USB 3.0 card reader.
I have been using the native File Manager version 4.0.27.
I transfer the pictures from the SD card via the card reader to an SD card that resides in my phone. Also a Samsung EVO Select.
On multiple occasions I have experienced file loss. I perform the file transfer with the native file manager by selecting the folder on the SD card that is in the reader, selecting move to, selecting the folder on the SD card in phone that I want the files, and selecting paste. Occationally once completed the folder with pictures/videos is not on either SD card. They are totally lost.
Also the transfer speed is extremely slow. Painfully slow.
What is the best file manager for USB OTG file transfer like I am doing? I want something reliable that won't loose my pics. And something that will xfer quickly.
Also does it matter if I use Fat32, NTFS, or exFAT for the SD card? Currently I believe I'm using Fat32 but I will have to double check.
If I have left out any needed information please ask and I will supply it.

Use the 'copy' function instead of move, could be damaged sd card, bad card reader or anything.
hi,
I've made an attempt to search this forum b4 posting this. I've a Samsung galaxy s8 phone (unlocked). I've an sd card where i stored quite a few files. i don't have the original charging brick & usb type c cable. when I connected it to a windows 10 laptop to transfer files form sd card to laptop, I am not able 2c files beyond a certain date (8-mar). i can see all other files & transfer them via cable. i haven't done anything on that date or beyond (e.g. screwing up settings) I've taken out & re-inserted the micro sd card. no use. I don't have an micro sd card to sd card adapter. I'll get it & try to insert the sd card directly into laptop & c what happens. in the interim, I'm at loss to understand y files beyond a certain date are not showing up in windows file explorer but can be seen & opened in phone. any suggestions are appreciated.
May be the mentioned files have attribut "hidden"?
In case that there are hidden files on your SD card, it is recommended that you allow File Explorer to show the hidden files. To do so, you need to switch to the View tab and tick the checkbox for the Hidden items option in the Show/hide zone.
