Nexus 5 USB OTG use
Help requested please!
I have purchased a lovely 64Gb USB OTG flashdrive to store audio books on as I like to listen a lot and my phone has little storage. Very annoyingly I cannot find an audiobook app which can see the new drive - they all only look at internal storage for audiobooks. My only workaround is to store everything on the drive and copy them over to the phone one at a time as I listen to them but that is a real pain. The whole point was to have lots of books at the click of a button. I have made a feature request to the audiobook developer but in the meantime does anyone else have any ideas of how I can make my drive visible? Thanks for reading. |

You need a USB OTG app, plus the phone may not be able to supply enough power to an external hard drive.
I used this on my nexus 5 ( before it died) https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...mount&hl=en_GB other /similar apps are available |

If that is the case then my drive will be useless as I cannot charge it when I'm using the drive! |
