I've tried FAT 32 and exFAT - regardless, the drive shows up on my Nexus 7 with "Other" taking up like 26gb. If I connect the same drive to my S3 or to my PC, it's fine. I also have something I got from Kickstarter that lets me connect microsd cards using a usb adapter and that seems to work with Nexus. Not sure why the Corsair won't work though
I have the 64gb USB 3.0 flash drive on my keychain, and it works perfectly on my Nexus 7 running Pac-Man

Has anyone used a USB 3.0 memory stick (via adaptor) with the Note 10.1 or are these considered "high powered devices". I know USB 2.0 sticks work, but just don't know about USB 3.0.
Any recommendations of any that work.
Thanks
Might also depend on size.
None of my usb 3.0 devices work for me. They are 16gb corsair drives.
Thanks for the feedback.
@jzone323: Did you get the"high powered device" warning or they just didn't mount?
If they didn't mount, have you tried Paragon NTFS & HFS+ to the mount the USB sticks.
I was hoping to buy one, but since no one has successfully used one then it looks like I have to stick with USB 2.0.

I want to use a 1TB WD My Passport portable USB HDD on my Galaxy Note 2
I have managed with an OTG cable and portable card reader, to connect with a 4Gb CF card but but the same rig (substituting the card reader with the HDD separately powered with USB Y cable) won't . The drive was reformatted to FAT 32 even though I'd prefer it as NTFS.
I've seen mention of rooting etc etc. It's above me at present and a bit scary as it's new territory and a new phone.
Any help please?
The device can only read Ex-FAT and FAT for the external volumes
Install thst

I have been trying to get my N7 2013 to mount a usb stick and SD card to no avail. All my sd cards and usb sticks are formatted as fat 32, different OTG cables and connectors have been tried and stickmount installed. I have tried various alternetives to stickmount with the same result. I can mount the same SD cards, USB sticks and OTG cables on various Roms and Kernels on my 2012 N7. I am wondering if there is a setting that I am overlooking. Has anyone with a similar problem tried a dual USB stick, micro and normal USB connectors, this would eliminate the OTG cable. All other functions of the N7 USB port are working. Any help would be appreciated.

You need an app for that. Try Nexus OTG file manager

Thanks for replying Gotham. I tried your suggestion and it didn't work, I have tried various USB OTG Apps with no success. I am able to connect keyboard and mouse I can also connect an old Huawei E160 modem and my N7 2013 reads the micro SD using Nexus Media Importer.
Thanks
It works or it doesn't work?

I had already tried various apps Stickmount, the one that you suggested and others none worked with my OTG cables and USB pen drives or with my micro SD card and my USB drive reader. As stated before, I tried an old Huawei E160 USB HSDPA stick modem and it worked using the same OTG cables that I had tried before. I found an old multi card reader and that was recognised by Stickmount and Nexus Media Importer.
This means that it depends on the card reader used or the USB sticks. The USB pen drives that I was using were both 32 GB Kingston DT Micro drives.
Once again thanks for answering, I have pressed the thanks button.
I've had no issues with my SanDisk dual USB stick on stock rom and kernel.
Hi All
I had a frustrating 10 days or so with my new Nexus 7 2013 no being able to read my USB sticks. I had 2 OTG cables and 1 OTG connector, 2 USB micro drives and a USB reader for SD micro cards. All of these worked fine on my old N7 2012 in various combinations. I tried various mounting apps as well to no avail.
USB mouse and Keyboard worked fine.
I found an old USB modem (Stick) with an SD slot the N7 Flo mounted this with stickmount, I then tried a multicard reader and this also mounted and all files were read.
The conclusion of course is that some card readers do not work with the Flo and some USB sticks also.
My USB memory sticks are Kingston DT micro
The card reader was a cheap generic one.
The multi card reader that worked was a Kingston FCR-HS219/1.
It might be a good idea for the moderators to start a sticky where eqipment that works or not as the case may be, can be documented.
Nexus 7 2013 and the nexus 5 DO NOT work with USB otg natively. With root you can use what I use which is Stick mount or another option is to flash a ROM like Cyanogen which has the feature built in.
I know it's bs but it is what it is.
Frankly this is why I do like Samsung as their products support it and other features which you will need root for on the nexus line
I have the Samsung galaxy tab s 10.5 and I would like to know if a 256g flash drive will work? I watch movies and TV shows on the go, 64g is not enough (the Simpsons season 1 - 25 needs about 100g) I don't have a computer anymore just my tablet. I bought the seagate wireless plus 1tb and I couldn't get it to work, don't want to order a 256g flash drive and have same trouble. Any help would be great
Sorry no I am not rooted and due to the fact that I use my Samsung allshare cast hub daily and root items can't use the hub
Anyone?
Don't you mean SD card.? Some people say the highest you can go is 64 or 128gb
128 GB is the highest you can go

He probably means OTG cable with a hard drive. Simple drives tend to work the larger drives need more power to work via USB.

There is an available of cable that's a "y".....one leg is the USB and the other is another female micro USB for your charging cable. Can't remember where on ebay I got mine but it does work for my external hard drives with my GS5
128gb sd card is not big enough so I thought k would try a 256gb OTG flash drive. Has anyone tested?

This question left me extremely curious, so I have just purchased an OTG cable which will arrive in a few days. I will test out a few different EXT HDD sizes and post what the maximum my OTG will allow.
I do however forsee an increase in the discharge of the battery for larger storage devices, but we shall see.
Can't wait to see what u find
I'm gonna buy a sandisk ultra 64gb microUSB otg and I was looking for a bigger one but this must be the biggest one they have, can't wait to test it out. What I'll do is if my shows or movies won't fit I'm gonna have to erase the ones I've seen then try to make them fit. I suggest you get a 128gb micro SD card plus a big sized flash drive then you should be okay.

So I bought an OTG cable off ebay, and it arrived. I didn't change the format of any of my external drives as I don't have the space to store anything currently anywhere else. The tablet registers there is a drive connected however it can't mount the storage device due to an unknown format. The externals I tried were 2 portables (1x 500Gb usb2.0 and 1x 1Tb usb 3.0) and 2 desktops (1x 1.5Tb and 1x 1Tb both usb 2.0). Over the next few days I will attempt to reformat the 500 Gb and 1Tb portables, and the 1Tb desktop and see if that produces any results. Due to work constraints this may take a few days, so thank you for patience. Results will be posted as soon as possible. Current format of all the externals is default NTFS.
Another Option
There's another option in which would require multiple devices unfortunately due to the limited storage. Its a product I currently use myself called "Toshiba Duo 2 in 1.

Unfortunately I am still working on my other drives. There's is a lot of moving data around (limited to USB 2.0 speeds), so please keep posted on my other externals.
