While not as good as having an SD slot - this could be of some help. I'm sure you wouldn't leave it hanging all the time and most likely have to remove it to charge if your not using wireless charging.

I opted for the 64 GB version ... just to save from extra equipment. But there is a wireless flash drive option too.

This has been around for a while. I bought one of these more than a year ago for my Note 3.
The model is a older version but it works well.
23 $$ ?? I got 1 for 7.99 at best buy with an otg cable

I promise I'm not griefing but rather curious.... I am extremely satisfied with the 100 gigs of storage you get with OneDrive when you buy the Note 5. Any of my large files I have put in the cloud or if they are videos I either upload them to social media or put them on my PC for editing and don't forsee an issue with the 32 gigs of onboard storage. I guess I'm just wondering what sort of data an SD device like this accounts for due to a lack of expandable memory.

I just came to this phone from the E4GT and I love it. Dont love the 12 gb hard drive though. I have heard on the E4GT that you can get a adapter that alows to to connect usb devices into your phone including a flash drive. Does anyone know if that would work on our phones and what its called? +1 for any help. Thanks

I could be wrong, but this is what I've read:
I don't think anyone's tried it yet. You could be the first to try it and report back!
I bought an OTG cable (this is the adapter you'll need, it's a pretty easy google search) for my HTC Jetstream, but that's still running HC 3.1, and doesn't support this feature yet. Hence, the cable has wound up in an unknown box/drawer/under my bed. If I can find it, I'll test this out with the One X and give'er a shot.

Yeah, that really pisses me off. Everyone does it though. It's the same on the HP Touchpad. 32GB my a**, only 25 is usable. On the One X actually, even 12GB is misleading. 2 of that is dedicated to apps, bringing your "sdcard" down to 10. (9.93 to be more precise.)

It doesnt work. Tried it last week when i got the phone with 3 different usb keys and even a USB 360gig drive on a powered hub A custom rom will be needed.
The international One X just got a custom kernel with USB OTG enabled. Who knows when they'll release the source code for the S4 1X kernel so we can get the same though.

Ok. Its just that unlike Samsung galaxy s3 (onwards) the nexus 5 cannot power mechanical drives through its USB host port. I expect you'd need a powered USB hub to power and use a mechanical drive.

Would a third party Rom like cyanogen make the drive work? Or is it a hardware issue?

Hardware as far as I know. The S3 was the first that could do this without external power. Not all devices follow suit. Mechanical parts require a lot of power compared to flash

Its built-in all ready. After rooting all you need is an app like stickmount. Or if you change rom most of them have the software you need allready in there.

Is your drive in NTSF format? Android only recognizes FAT32. Try a drive formatted as FAT32 and see what happens.
I am using my 1TB WD harddrive(ntfs).
It works fine with StickMount. I never needed external power source.
But it eats the battery extremely fast at almost 1%-2% per minute.
But the USB-Y cable should work fine for powering usb hard drive.

Use Superbeam..
Upload it to an online storage (Google drive, dropbox, box, etc.) and send her a link.
Or there are probably some apps in the play store that will transfer files over WiFi.
Folders and files can't be sent with NFC. It's mainly for smaller things like photos, links and contact info.

Well good luck with that. Depending on how big the files are, you will most likely need some kind of internet. Bluetooth will be slow or have errors.

If you like to have multiple backups, OTG is recommended indeed as stated above. Can also keep one compress backup on your phone for emergency, and place the rest on cloud.
Switch out your music for those music apps...tmobiel mobile freedom = no data penalty.
Photo on cloud. clear out download folders....should keep you good.

It basically is the missing micro SD card option in the phone. Whatever you could do with it in the phone, you can do with it outside the phone.
