How does one use the OTG connector on the box? What happens when you connect it to a PC USB port? Can you use an On The Go (OTG) to USB adapter?

You can connect to a pc and share files, but more importantly, you can connect to a usb hub (preferably powered) and plug ext HD, Keyboards, anything and it will see and use it.

Does the toshiba 8.1 use a micro-usb 2.0 charging cord? If so, this otg (on the go) adapter will work. Though I'm not sure why you would need it. Nearly everything uses microusb these days. I got this for my note 3 which uses the fat 3.0 mini usb-b. If toshiba tablets use the mini usb 2.0 and you want this for memory exoansion, I would highly HIGHLY recommend the Silicon Power Mobile X31 16GB USB 3.0 OTG Flash Drive for Android Smartphone and Tablet, Silver/Black (SP016GBUF3X31V1K). Its just $9.99 on amazon right now for the 16gb and just a pinch more for the 32gb. Its essentially a flash drive for phones and tablets. Now as my note 3 phone doesn't have the mini usb hole, I needed the 3.0 version of this adapter before I could stick a flash drive in; but tablets with a mini usb are good 2 go! If there's some reason you needed this other than jump drive access the simple answer is yes, the 2.0 fits. PS me personally, I'm strictly a Silicon Power man, but if you prefer other brands (kingston, sandisk, sony, etc) simply search amazon for: (brand) otg 16gb (or 32gb or 8gb, you get the point) but if you want quality+great prices, use either: "silicon power/kingston otg usb 16gb" and take your pick from amazons great selection. 1 end of the jump drive is mini usb for toshiba tablet insertion, the other end fits into your computer or other device to transfer files. Perfect. Hope this helps and you were looking to expand memory; if not, hopefully someone who is will see it and my answer won't be totally useless.

yes, with an OTG (on-the-go) usb cable plugged into the tablet's USB port, you can then connect a usb keyboard, mouse, flash drive, external hard drive, etc. to use more than one peripheral, connect the OTG cable to the tablet then connect a small 2 or 3 port usb hub to the OTG cable. you can now use a usb mouse and keyboard at the same time, plus another usb device, depending on the size of your usb hub.

I have a 1TB portable Seagate Backup Plus. It works fine plugged directly into the OTG.

It has micro USB OTG (on-the-go) port. If you need a USB port for transfer you can use this kind of cable, which one side is the micro USB and the other is the regular USB. http://www.amazon.com/SANOXY%C2%AE-Right-Angle-Micro-Adapter/dp/B005QX7KYU/ref=pd_sim_e_3

I can not recommend the item! It has never work with any of my tablets micro USB ports using a thumb drive. My conclusion is that this is NOT an OTG adapter but just a plain USB adapter.

Using the USB cable works fine, but using the OTG adapter is necessary to remove the cover.

No it will not, Windows phone OS does not support USB OTG (on the go) which is required for this product to work. Windows mobile phone forums hint of support in future releases but don't hold your breath.Judging from your question, appears that you want to read and write files from external storage media. Seeing as the phone OS is not OTG compliant, you do have the option of connecting the phone to a PC and transfering files as you would a USB thumb drive.

I bought a USB 2.0 A Female to 5-pin B Male Mini USB Cable OTG Host Extension Host Cable. It must be an OTG cable or it won't work.

Your flash would get detected if you connected it to the OTG port, using the OTG cable that came with it. OTG stands for On The Go. There are two micro USB ports that you can connect your Flash drive to, one of them will work which is marked as the OTG port.

Yes as long as you use a little 4 port powered hub. you have to have power on the OTG Adapter Cable...

I bought item number 7395064 Micro Connectors USB OTG Cable from Frys.com. It allows you to connect On the Go capable USB devices such as a flash drive, mouse, keyboard, etc. directly to your Smartphone or tablet via Micro USB port. They say it's compatible with latest Android phones & tablets. I picked it up in-store because I needed it right away. But shipping is only $1.99. The adapter has a very short cord and works great...as does the keyboard. Amazon also has a wide variety of USB 2.0 A Female to Micro B Male Adapter Cables too...all with short cords. Read the reviews and pick up the one you like best. All are pretty reasonably priced. I bought item number 7395064 Micro Connectors USB OTG Cable from Frys.com.

Turn it on , Use the cable sent within the box , plug the USB to your computer and the other end into the line in/5v slot .This worked for me ,

With an OTG adapter, I was able to use this with my Dell Venue Pro and add my external monitor and wireless keyboard. The drawback would be that it does not charge the device when connected. Also, you would not get any USB 3.0 speeds from the USB 3.0 ports since the USB connection on the Dell is only 2.0.

I bought this for my 7 year old daughter as a training aid and it did not live up to her expectations. I don't believe it came with the OTG cable. I don't remember seeing one. There is an input for headphones, a pin charger and the mini usb. It cannot be connected to an external keyboard without buying an adapter. The tablet is okay for internet and simple games but not for watching internet videos or movies. It's battery life is about one hour without the charger being connected.

One side is a small USB that inserts directly into my Dell Venue the other side pulls out and inserts into a standard USB. No OTG required. I love mine. It allows easy data transfer between my main computer and my "travel" computer. The 32g is the way to go

I'm not sure what OTG is but. If you mean can you connect to your computer thru the usb while the case is on then the answer is yes.
