About USB OTG File Manager for Nexus
USB OTG File Manager for Nexus allows you to open and copy files from any USB mass storage device with a FAT32 or NTFS filesystem using the USB OTG port of your device, tablet or phone.
With a FAT32 filesystem, you can copy files to any USB mass storage device and manage your files on it (edit filenames, add directories, delete files) too.
You can also manage your files in the internal memory of your device.
This application has been designed for Nexus products which have an USB "OnTheGo" port, as the Nexus 5, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, and the brand new Nexus 6 and Nexus 9. But it could work on any device with an USB OTG port Under Android 4.0 or later, including the last Android 5.0 Lollipop.
Root privileges are NOT necessary!
For now, FAT32 filesystem is supported for data read and write, and NTFS filesystem is only supported for data read. You can use USB sticks or SD card readers with any compatible USB OTG cable.
*** NEW FEATURE ***
You can now play playlists (m3u and m3u8 files) and multiple audio files (mp3, aac, m4a, flac, ogg and wav files) at the same time from your USB OTG mass storage device. For that, you need to install my new app Simple Music Player which exists in two versions:
- Free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kyuudroid.simplemusicplayer.free
- Paid version to support my developments and get some additional features in the future:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kyuudroid.simplemusicplayer
Once Simple Music Player is installed, select the files you want to play on your USB device, push the open button and select the Simple Music Player app.
This is a brand new feature, so if you have any issue, don't hesitate to send me an e-mail! Your feedback would be appreciated too.
*** FEATURES ***
USB OTG File Manager for Nexus allows you to open your files directly from your USB device! You just need to have an app that can handle it. For audio and video, I advise you to use VLC.
The new Network Access authorization is only here for local use to be able to open the files. The app NEVER send or receive data to/from Internet.
USB OTG File Manager for Nexus supports devices with multiple logical units (like a GPS with an internal memory and an additional SD card) and allows you to choose which logical unit you want to read.
USB OTG File Manager for Nexus now includes an "Advanced Mode" which allows you to access to all the files of your device. You can now create files and directories outside of the official Android public directories. This is for advanced users only!
Before buying this application, please try the free trial version named USB OTG File Manager Trial for Nexus to be sure that this application is working with your USB devices.

After trying several apps for managing files on USB otg flash drives, I believe this is the best one. The UI is very pleasant and easy to navigate. This is also the only USB otg file manager I've found that shows you how much used/free space the connected device has. There are a few other USB otg file managers that are free but they have annoying ads and don't tell you how much free space you have. If you want to manage files on your USB otg device without root, this app is well worth the price.

Temperamental, after copying 4 files to a USB Stick, some were 0 byte files, they seemed to copy over fine without any errors but when read on another device they were corrupted.

I will not play any video files outside of the .mp4 I wish I was more on the line of a more powerful vlc player. Sad. Don't buy. There's a lot of other free versions out here.

You can't copy large numbers of files simultaneously. The app crashes or they get corrupted. I have to copy in small groups of 20 or so and that really sucks. Nexus Media Importer is much more reliable for large copy jobs and backups. Nexus 5.

Are you able to provide a preview of what is being stored between the thumbdrive and phone. Have to keep remembering the file name on what has been stored and what not. Also a cut and paste option will be great rather then just copy and paste.

Works perfectly on my Nexus 6P, root is not needed. I can copy/paste either direction from the phone to the SD card, or vice versa. I don't understand why file manager apps can't do this, but the interface here is super easy to use and being that most people will only plug in an SD card to transfer some stuff off their phone and then uplug the SD card, this app is perfect for that.

Does what it should. Clean and simple. I've always been upset that devices with OTG support have no clean file management app. I don't know why it's only being labeled as a Nexus app when it works great on my Xperia Z3v. Developers could probably make a lot more money marketing it as an OTG app for all devices since it's the best one of all the rest by far.

Since the latest update the app has stopped recognizing my flash drive. I always use the same flash so the problem is not in quality of the device. It used to work properly, but now when I tap the connect button it says: "No valid FAT32 or NTFS partition has been found on your USB device. ERROR_07" I've also tried to format the flash drive and change it from FAT32 to NTFS but it didn't work. My phone is Nexus 5. Hope you'll offer the right solution for this ussue.

I was able to copy a showbox download in mp4 format off my phone onto the USB and am now watching it via my ps3. This makes the lack of an SD slot on my Nexus 5 a moot point now. Happy. Happy. Happy.

Although i cannot play mkv, mp4 movies directly from my usb thru vlc, bsfree, mx player etc. It just force closes. I hope for this to be resolved soon because the last update i can play the movies. Now it no longer works. Hope to have a reply from the devs

There is no comfortable format to view items such as photos that I want to select to transfer. It is extremely annoying to go through hundreds of photos that way. I expected a much better format.
