I am having trouble transferring large files from my galaxy nexus directly to a flash drive connected via an OTG cable. The transfers always fail. I have tried many different file managers and all have the same issue. I am looking to transfer files in to 700MB to 2GB in size. Does anyone know of this is possible or is Android not able to handle this directly? Currently I connect my nexus to my computer and the flash drive to the computer and move the files from my phone to the flash drive. I am simply looking to avoid using my PC for doing this.
What are you using? Android? B2G? openwebos?

I would like to transfer my big video files to my windows 10 computer. But i am tired to use USB Cable, because it needs a long time to list all the files in the folder. Over Google Drive works, but it is not optimal for big files to upload and then download them. My Computer hangs per LAN Cable on the home-router, so WiFi-direct is impossible.
Is there an easy way to send files in my home network to my computer?
I use LG G4 and Windows 10

Your usb stick is not a computer, it does not need to read your phone with MTP protocol.
The phone should provide power to the USB stick, exactly as it is saying, so that your phone can read the contents of the USB stick.
Get a File Manager like FX to transfer items to and from your USB stick.
I have the same problem. It always says usb charging and I could not transfer pictures to my usb using the usb-c/usb adaptor. I tried using file manager app but I get confused with all these asking permissions and I end up unable to transfer anything. I never had this problem with my S7 edge before. I tried connecting the phone directly to the mac using android file transfer but could not connect. I would really appreciate if someone can give us a more detailed steps on how.

I tried that I have ES file explorer like "edsol" said it won't mount the stick because it's in charging mode
I tried several time to switch it off of charging mode but always flips back after a few seconds.
if "edsol" has the same problem then I guess it's not just my phone........there must be a fix for this??
I had the same situation, and I had to format the USB stick in "exFAT" to be able to copy files to it. NTFS is supported only for reading, but not for writing.
So check that your USB stick is not NTFS.
FAT32 and exFAT are the same, the difference is that exFAT doesn't have the FAT32 limitations (maximum file size of 4 GB)

Thanks...but it is exFat......I did a reformat just incase.......still a no go ??
you probably need some file manager to do what you want, Android sucks when it comes to manual file management.
Anyway I have ES file explorer loaded on my phone, so plugged in USB c to USB2 adapter, put in 32 GB FAT32 memory stick, ES file exp. open up and I transferred couple files from stick to SD, just to test it if it works. It did, but you would have to pay me a lot of money to do it on regular basis, so awkward. I just plug my phone to PC and use windows click and drag to move files around. Now I run into problem, when I was transferring my pictures, couple days ago, F???? Android lock my sd card for no reason (F????? Google is messing SD cards on phones since at least kitkat). I had to fix sd and take write protect off, but I'm sure it's Google not Samsung. Anyway, it works like a charm, just watch out for Google's broken permissions showing it's ugly head.
What File Explorer are you using? Some of them can't write to external storage because of Marshmallow permissions.
"My Files" of Samsung worked for me while "ES File Explorer" didn't work (before root)
I used ES File Explorer, I'm sorry I said wrong in my previous post, I moved couple files to phones DCIM folder, not SD, it's so awkward and I just wanted to see if it works at all, it did, I confirmed the files were moved, before deleting them. So actually I don't know if it would work on SD card, but I would never ever transfer files like that: I would use my pc laptop for direct transfer between SD and stick. So the concept I described works, but as far as permissions to particular folders go, they're so messed up and don't even want to test it again against SD. In theory it should work at least for transfer to root directory, since card is not protected, may not work for transfer to folders created by other programs due to permissions. At some point I may have to root this phone just to fix those stupid permissions, but I haven't used Marshmallow until now, so not sure how broken those permissions are here.

I've tried a few file programs including My Files..........but the usb stick isn't recognized because it stays in charging mode
so can't even attempt to transfer anything....this is frustrating !!
I am coming from using a Motorola Photon Q where I never experienced this problem but I am seeing this on Samsung devices so I am hoping someone can explain what is going on and how to deal with it. I have used several different USB drives connected to a S4 with custom rom and a stock S5 and S6. If I try to read a file on the USB drive from the Samsung device the file on the USB drive is overwritten with all zeros (I used a hex editor to check file contents). These are the exact steps I have tried several times:
plug the USB drive into PC and copy files (I have tried MP4 videos, text files, PDFs and Word docs). Verify the files can be opened and viewed from the USB drive on the PC. Take the USB drive to another PC and repeat verification. Everything ok at this point so plug the USB into the phone and attempt to open the file. I get an error and when I return the USB drive to the PC the file can no longer be viewed and is now corrupted (all zeros). I have also tried copying the file from the USB to the phone's storage with the same results: the copy on the phone is not viewable and the copy on the USB is now corrupt. I thought it might be the phone so I have tried two S4's and one each of S5 and S6 all with the same results. I thought it might be the USB drive so I tried 5 different USB drives. Weirdly I did manage to get a copy of an MP4 onto one of the S4's but whatever I did I cannot duplicate it. I have used multiple file managers (stock, ES, etc.) and tried all sorts of USB utilities all without repeatable success. Does anyone on here know what the problem could be? Does Samsung have some sort of super-aggressive DRM?
