I have had my iPod Nano set for disk use for some time under the Apple HFS+ format, and in curiosity, I wanted to see if I could access those files via the Samsung USB connector. I tried Paragon,and the USB Mass Storage Watcher OTG and nothing has exactly happened, but it works automatically and my Mac recognizes it right away. Well with the latter program, it does charge to its credit , but with this also, it shows up as a Blank USB storage rather than with the files. Is there any possible way I could access them on the Note 10.1 [N8013] , or does it require other drivers in order to recognize the iPod Nano 6th gen?
I'm honestly not in much of a hurry concerning this issue , but wondering if others have found why the device is inaccessible to either app.
I know they make the SanDisk dual end android otg flash drive that supposed work without proprietary software ,but I also know that particular one is junk.
I got a sandisk extreme pro and ordered the otg cable separate Will this work transferring files once plugged in or does this otg..a tuff only work wirh a certain dedicated type of flash drive and or app that's needed on top of the flash drive .
My theory once I get it was plug in the otg cable that's connected to the sandisk drive and attach the micro usb end to s6 I should see the drive inside a file manager app .But some YouTube videos show the usb otg dual drive not coming up within the phones settings or storage options .
Has anyone used a regular flash drive with otg cable to transfer and what's the method ?

I've used stickmount pro and a usb otg cable to access usb flashdrives (sticks) for years with no problems. I believe this is the cable I use:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00A...AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=otg+cable
But, I have now messed things up. Now the stickmount /otg cable / flashstick combination recognizes the flash drive - but - no matter the size of the drive it only shows it as having about 800kb. Yes, I rebooted several times.
The flash drives are all healthy and when put into a laptop have 16, or 32 GB of free space.
The troubles started when 2 days ago I used this duo otg flash drive
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00L...SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=otg+duo+flash+drive
to copy some files from the phone to my laptop and then deleted the flash drive files in windows 10. After that the phone could only see the space remaining on the drive as if I had not deleted the files.
Maybe this otg drive installed something or deleted something on the phone causing the problem. I don't know.
Any help appreciated!
I installed "usb otg checker" from the play store and it shows everything checks out.
I'm at a loss.
Solved
USB host check app fixed the settings that had disabled things.
Hope this helps someone else.

Yeah,
I had a USB Type-C Male to USB 3.0 Type-A female adapter. Plugged in a USB 3.0 Toshiba Hard Drive and it worked. Notification popped up and I was able to use it in the built in file manager.
Works very well and is very fast as well.
That's good, official support of otg

Honor 8 supports USB OTG.
Refer the document given for further reference on its usage.

Here are some steps you can take to transfer files from your phone to an external device or microSD.
Connect a USB OTG cable to your phone to access data on USB flash drives, card readers and other storage devices.
- Connect your phone to a USB flash drive with a USB OTG cable.
- Touch [click to enlarge] > Local > USB drive to browse data on the flash drive. You can select and copy data to a destination folder. For more information, see Copying, moving, or deleting files.
- When you have finished browsing, touch Settings > Advanced settings > Memory & storage > USB drive > Eject.
Disconnect the USB OTG cable from your phone and the USB flash drive. (NS)
Stock ROM (not rooted): Huawei built-in Files works very well for OTG USB flash drives. However, if you have X-Plore File Manager installed, do NOT accept the message as shown (see he attached), otherwise USB drive will disappear and neither the Huawei's Files nor X-Plore would be able to access the USB drive. If you ignore that message or "Cancel" it, X-Plore would be able to read USB drive but not write to it.

I wonder if there is any relation between emui5 "android" and the service activation
Recently, I've been forced to start using my Note 10 (Exynos) as a replacement for a PC (long story).
I bought a 3-rd party DeX adapter, and in general it works great. It works nicely with an external 1080p display, and even with my wireless Microsoft keyboard+mouse combo (with a dongle). Not all apps work well in desktop mode/full screen, but overall it's good enough.
The only thing I can't figure out is how to use NTFS formatted USB drives (external HDDs and SSDs, and disk-on-keys) with the phone.
Whenever such a drive is connected to the DeX adapter I get a notification "Issue with ... USB drive". In Settings -> Storage -> Advanced the drive is shown, but with message "The data on this ... USB drive is corrupt". In both cases the phone suggests to format the connected drive.
I also tried with 2 different OTG adapters (including the original one from the box), and got exactly same results, so it doesn't seem related to the adapters.
Also, the same drives work fine with my Sony Android TV, so the issue does not seem to be with the drives.
I found quite a few mentions on the internet that Samsung and Microsoft have some kind of agreement and the default file explorer is supposed to work with NTFS devices. This actually makes sense, since new Samsung phones have built-in integration with Your Phone and OneDrive from Microsoft. However, this doesn't seem to be the case.
I found the "exFAT/NTFS for USB by Paragon Software" app in the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.tcplugins_ntfs_ro) which kind-of works in tandem with Total Commander or X-plore File Manager, but has a terrible rating in the store and I also found it doesn't work with all my external drives. So I'm a bit hesitant to pay the 10-15 bucks for something that doesn't provide me with a full solution.
Does anyone have good experience with using a Samsung phone (preferably a Note) with external NTFS drives?
Any advice (except reformatting all my external drives) is appreciated.
