I have an old Android device running version 5, it's a tv box Minix U1 and I want know if it's possible by regular configuration or by using any app/root/etc to customize which folder is going to be mapped to the Mass Storage functionality once this is connected through USB?
IE:. I have the folder ABC on my internal or SD storage and I want that One to be the main folder on my mass storage.

Hi
I bought a TV Box the other day it had an amazing feature I love the most. Once I attached my external harddrive(NTFS formatted) via USB cable I could go into settings>storage>select default storage and i selected my 500G Harddrive. So my TV BOX had 500G internal Storage.
I returned the box because it only got a single core and it was laggy and such.
Now I purchased a dual core TVBOX (not the same brand) and its flying compared to single core.
Now I am missing the feature of choosing my Default Storage....
Is there any way using busybox to mount my external harddrive to be my internal memory?

Update v5.3.1316M of Google Play Music introduced using external storage for your music data. You go into Settings > Downloading > Storage Location and it will show external storage if you have it. It works on many devices with SD card slots like the S4.
I have a USB key over OTG with my Nexus. Using Stickmount or the latest ES File Explorer; the key mounts, I see it at /data/media/0/usbStorage/sda1/, /sdcard/usbStorage/sda1 and /storage/sda1, I can read and write files, it doesn't show up under Settings > Storage, and I can't select it in Google Play Music. I'm assuming something like the Meenova would show the exact same issue.
Anyone know why this is a Nexus issue? Anyone know where the sdcard is mounted on working devices? Has anyone used a ROM that works with Google Music and OTG?
It's because stickmount mounts it in sdcard. You need a rom or Kernel with automount built in.

Can i use usb-otg as a external storage to move apps and app data
Like we used to that in memory card option available phones(link2sd etc)
Thanx..
I'd like to know if it's possible to map a simple shared folder or network drive from my Windows PC onto my Android device to act like a normal folder accessible from any app designating a storage location.
An example of this in action would be downloading something from the android Google Chrome browser and having it saving directly to the Windows PC mapped storage drive and not the phone's internal or external storage.
I am aware you can use ES Explorer and the like to access a shared homegroup folder from your phone but it doesn't work as a normal folder so you cant store files directly to the PC from the phone's apps.

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 )
