You can, without any additional software, if you have Samsung tablets/phones, and maybe HTC. I'm not sure about other manufacturers (like LG, etc.). If you have a Nexus device or a Motorola Moto X I know that USB OTG is not there out of the box. You must install an app, like "Nexus Media Importer." I have a Nexus 10, Nexus 7 and Moto X and I use that app to access/write/read from the USB drive. However I have one friend with a Samsung Galaxy S4, another with the Note 2, and another with an HTC One M7 and they're all able to write to the device straight after plugging it in because there is a built-in software that lets you access and read/write to the drive.

I have a Samsung Galaxy 4 phone and it works with an earlier version so I don't see why not.

for any phone/tablet, NO. It purely depends on the device actually. OTG (on the go) hardware and drivers should be there in the device for it to access this flash drive or any storage device via the usb port. If it does support, then file explorer will work. To check if your device does support, i think there is an app in android called USB OTG checker or something like that. If the device is not running android and there is no app, buy a cheap OTG cable, plug in your portable hard disk and see if it reads. although, be careful with the OTG cables as they can easily damage the device's usb port.

Android 4.4 only blocks 3rd party apps from accessing your microSD. You should be able to transfer files between your microSD and this dual USB Drive.

That's really more of a question of tablet and cam support. This cable is meant to configure your mini usb normally a slave and turn it into the host instead. If you're not sure you need an otg cable you might not. I used this to attach a mouse and kb to my android via usb hub. Works like a charm.

Yes and no, any usb flash drive or sd card will work. But plugging in a tablet of smart phone using usb won't work. They only work through aux cable.

Question for all - does anyone know if the micro USB supports reading/copying of files from a thumb drive? If appears from the other responses that there are a number of ways to move files onto the Nexus 10. However, I have an application that would require me to copy files from physical media. This is supported from the Samsung Galaxy tab through their micro-USB. If anyone has an answer, would appreciate your input.

Maybe someone with more hands-on experience could help, but this typically won't work. The connection with the slimport cable and the usb port on your device needs to be a straight path without splitters. Will work fine with a flash drive and charging if your device rom supports OTG charging.

As you say, Nexus 4 doesn't support USB OTG. It can if you use a special kernel AND an OTG connection that can provide power. The device would not work on the Nexus 4. It should work on the Nexus 5 but might need Stick Mount (requires root) or nexus media importer which requires no root. I don't own this device but have used OTG connections on both devices.

You can move files to and from the tablet or use it as extra storage. Put personal data that you need on the use and not on the table for better security. Ps get a file explorer app. It works great

I just use a usb-attached cheapy. Works great for me (which is rarely). The brand is LG. Portable Super Multi Drive. Had it quite a while, so it may likely be no longer available

Yes -- you can freely move files to and from a flash drive and the Cinepad AT208F. I have done so to move media from a flash drive to the SD card in the tablet for trips.

You can use file manager apps to transfer files to an external card or drive, but I haven't found a way to do the same with apps and still be able to use them. Even with my tablet rooted, I can't change the path so that apps transfer to the external sd slot, instead of the internal partition. You can use ES File Explorer, or similar apps, to transfer downloaded movies, music, ROMs and other similar files to the external sd slot (or a flash/external drive with a usb adapter).

It works perfectly with my S4 (GT-9505). If you are copying data TO a phone, running kitkat, you should use the build-in file manager - not 3rd party.

There are problems with writing from Android 4.4.x devices to a USB stick. Reading the USB stick works ok on Android devices that support it (but needs an app). There are workarounds published on YouTube. The Total Commander app plus its TC USB Stick plugin is supposed to work, but I have not yet tried it. I am not familiar with your particular tablet.
