Hi!
How to use, a pen drive for example, in G6!
You need a USB OTG cable, a explorer, in my example I used Root Browser, but can be E S File explorer and with him you can create a short cut in main screen for usbotg folder that you can find in storaged , together with sdcard0 and sdcard1.
Plug the USB Pen Driver in to the phone and the phone will install it, and done!
Now just explore, copy, etc., between folders as usual, at the end we have to go to Settings -> Storage and disable the Pen drive, or the phone get a error and only with the restart you can connect again the Pen drive.
Dont delete the folder LOST.DIR, phone created and need it to connect to pen drive.

This is a new problem that just starteted happening.
When I connect my phone to my laptop by either USB or bluetooth activesync. I am unable to open any files. For example when I double click on a picture or pdf file that is on my storage card or phone memory it pulls up the properties windows. When I right click on a file my only options is to cut copy create shortcut delete rename and properties. I can however copy the files to my desktop and then open them. Also I can't view the pics in thumbnail view...
Any ideas? I am stumped....
I also remember the storage card would pop up under a drive letter but now I have to go through mobile devices in my computer to get to it...
When I plug in the gtablet to USB on PC I can't see sdcard only the internal memory. I notice that when I first connect gtablet to PC it tried to install some Nvidia Harmony driver but it fails. Any ideas why I can't access the sdcard? It is mounted in settings. I also tried formatting it again but no luck.
The Harmony Driver failing is more than likely just the ADB Driver, the super thread talks about setting ADB up, but that won't fix the SD card thing. Someone said something about a wireless FTP app that will access both, it's in one of the other can't access SD threads but I'm not sure which, just saw it last night.
precy76,
Usually when I use USB, I set the G-Tablet on a little stand where I can see and use (touch) the screen. Then I plug the miniUSB plug into the tablet.
Next I plug the standard USB plug into a working USB port on my PC. When that happens I get a message on the tablet to "Turn On" the USB. I touch to OK that on the tablet and it usually repeats a confirming message and I touch to OK that again.
Usually there is a delay on the PC. I keep the main screen clear because after several seconds it will pop up a message asking whether I want to open a Window in Explorer to look at the files. I click on the PC to do that and it opens up a Windows Explorer window showing the usual PC drives, network, etc. on the left and there is an entry for the G-Tablet listing the sdcard drives and folders in it.
When I want to install an .apk, I put it in the "Download" folder (an then later us the stock ES File Explorer program on the tablet to go to and open/install it).
If you can access the sdcard as above, you actually can load the "Recovery Folder" and "Update.zip" files from your PC to the tablet sdcard directory. Then if you do the Power Button/Volume + startup, it will find and load the update.
Or if you edit the "Command" file in the "Recover Folder" to change the address from the sdcard to sdcard2 (while it still is on your PC using NotePad or the like) you can put the modified files on sdcard and when you re-boot it will load the files from the microSD chip in the sdcard2 slot.
Hope this helps.

P. S. -- When you finish working on the G-Tablet, you need to go to the USB icon on the PC Taskbar (lower right hand corner of the screen) and tell it to close and eject the tablet USB drive. It will show up there as "Harmony."
When it is ejected, then you unplug everything and go back to the G-Tablet.
when i connect my htc desire via usb to the keyboard dock and i select "mount as removable disc" i cannot then find the phone's sd card in either the stock file browser on the transformer or in ES file explorer.
the card appears to mount as i lose access to my sdcard only apps on the desire but there is no popup screen on the transformer like you get with a usb flash stick for example.
any help getting the sdcard mounted via usb (i definately dont fancy removing the card from the phone just to copy a few files).
i know there are bluetooth options to workaround this but they are slower and less reliable than a usb cable.
thanks in advance!

I'm wondering the same thing
I don't know if you tried this, but I use dropbox to move files around between devices.
yeah i use dropbox but obviously a direct transfer of the files with a usb cable will be much quicker and simpler. with dropbox you have to upload files (for example 2gb of music) which would take hours, and then download it again taking a long time.
to transfer 2gb with the usb cable takes 5 minutes max!
i suppose i could use a pc in the middle, so mount the phone's sdcard and then mount the tfr itself as and use the pc to copy paste between them but thats a pain as i dont want to need 3 devices for these things.
bluetooth is ok for small files like apps etc but not for anything larger
Have you managed to mount the Transformer to a PC with a drive letter assigned to it? The Transformer always shows up as a Portable Media Player, which doesn't allow me to mount it with a drive letter.
I am trying to sync some files to the Transformer, but need a drive letter for my sync software to work.

If the transformer properly finds the removable device it will go in /Removable/ The phone SD cards don't seem to trigger the transformer to mount external storage. You'll see the popup for like a split second. My guess is that it has something to do with the file format. I'm not sure though.
Any solution to this?!
I succeeded to mount phone's microsd properly but not my Internal sdcard.
If you still can't figure out how to mount your external sd just plug your phone into the dock, go to settings > memory > scroll all the way down and then mount the storage .
Oh, I think that you've to be on Honeycomb 3.2 btw
This allows you to mount your external mocro sd but not your internal.
Everytime I plug in an external pen drive with the USB OTG adapter, the stock file explorer. It takes a long time to open since I have quite a lot of files and datas in my internal as well as external sd card. What I would like is for the pendrive to be detected but not the "my files" to be opened. Is there a workaround for this cos it's basically such a waste of time waiting for the files to be opened when I could easily explore them with any other file expolorer easily and faster?
So no one has a solution for this?

Hello all, let us start.
so i planned on using my OP5 as an USB drive (it is rooted, with usb debbuging on and switched to "USB for file transfer") on my corporate PC (on which I cannot install nothing new) so I could sync the files I use to "Google Drive" more easily than going back home and plugging the real USB into my own PC and rewriting all the files over and over again. What I found out today was that I cannot save files (they are 99% office and pdf files) directly to the folder I created on the phone because all the files are "read only" so I can only save them to the desktop and then copy them to the phone using basic copy/paste. So what I need is to be able to use my phones "internal shared storage" as an fully functional USB Drive. Hope someone can help...
