Hello, i when i connect my iphone through usb otg, the s7 recognises it as an external device but i can only view/transfer jpg photos, raw photos and video files dont show up...and the s7 can only recognise them on the stock photo viewer app... every other file manager doesnt show anything..

I'm having a similar problem to one I noticed in a different post, here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1987102 . I need to save HD video to an external storage device directly, as this guy wanted to do. However, every camera app I've tried, and ursafe media director doesn't recognize my usb otg hard drive as a location. the only way I can browse it is through file manager. Any suggestions? I have a Lenovo S-3000, takes 1080p video, and I want to be able to record directly to a thumb drive with it. Thanks in advance!

looks like you have switched from iphone you just need to "copy" and "paste" the music in the storage and nothing else
the player will automatically detect it from anywhere in the phone.

I haven't switched from iPhone, been a htc user.
When i connect s6 to mac using usb then load up kies i get this pop up
An alternative is you can boot to Windows using Boot Camp. Connect your S6 via USB. Windows will recognize your S6 as a USB drive. Copy and paste all your music files to a folder on your S6. Your S6 will recognize the music files automatically. This worked for me and my macbook pro.

Use Android File Transfer for Mac OSX
https://www.android.com/filetransfer/
You mean on OS X, the phone does not show up as a normal starge device where you can copy your files?
Man, S6 is a Samsung device not HTC. i thought it was an IP 6s, lol. For android, the process is quite simple, just copy and paste music to the Music folder on your phone. Make sure the format is supported by Android, like MP3, WMV, etc... DRM protected music will not work on the device.
Samsung seems to be transitioning from KIES to Smartswitch. KIES does not support the most recent phones.
I took a few photos the other day and they are stored in the Google Photos app/folder on the phone. But my PC doesn't 'see' that folder and says I have no pics to transfer. (yes, One Plus connected to PC USB).
Help, please.

On your PC? Open your browser, preferably Google chrome, upper right corner look for Google photos link, check if photos are synced there. You can then download it to your PC from there. If photos are not there, then check sync settings on your Google photos app on your phone. If you want to copy photos directly from your phone, you'll need to enable file sharing on your phone (check notifications) once you connect it with USB cord with the PC. Until then, phone will only charge and PC woul not be able to see any phone's folders.

The photos aren't really stored in Google Photos. Well they are, and they aren't. Google Photos just scans all the phone's folders for photos, then backs them up to the Google cloud. You technically aren't supposed to be able to access most app data over USB. Which is why you won't find the photos when browsing by USB to the Google Photos app folder.
You're using the stock camera app? Browse to the folder DCIM>Camera, and you should find the photos these. That is where the photos are saved to from the stock camera app.
Hello basically I've sort of made a mess of an external hard drive with photos going back to the 1950's
I used my external hard drive to do a backup of my phone. Here is where I'm at.
If I plug the Hard drive into my pc I have lots of Huawei folders/ 2 pictures folders / steam folder and epic games folder.
I can view my steam and epic games folder fine.
But both pictures folders show up with hidden album ( I've applied show hidden files etc in Windows explorer)
So no luck with my Pc.
But if I connect the USB drive to an otg cable I can view 400gb of photos going back to 1950's up to 2021.
I didn't t want to mess them up so phoned Huawei ( useless)
I can move folders one at a time from the hard drive onto phone internal storage then copy to phone/ repeat.
But I don't know which folder to move them to.
As in move from hard drive / choose another location /???
If anyone knows what folder to move to, so they will be in the right place when I connect phone to PC I can transfer them too.
Thank you.
Solved.
Otg cable with USB ports.
Bought a Nano memory card.
Connected hard drive to Otg USB port.
Transferred photos from hard drive to nano memory card.
Windows now recognises photos and are currently being backed up to a Nvme drive )
