What's the best "OTG" app for Android??

StevieP · 3 Jun 2014 at 11:10

I've just bought one of these but I was wondering what is the best app for accessing the drive when it's plugged in to the micro USB port on my Nexus 5 and LG G-Pad?

I can get it to see files by using OTG Disk Explorer Lite but at first glance the functionality seems a little limited! (doesn't support NTFS, can't copy from the device to the flash drive (!?))

Anyone got any suggestions?

Any normal file explorer should do, I use root explorer.

I've tried Astro File Manager but can't seem to see an option to "see" the USB stick anywhere!?!?!

I'm not rooted btw...

I use 'Stickmount (root)' for my Nexus 7 and the Kingston Disk (below) I bought the other day...

It mounts the drive as a directory/folder within your SD partition for access to the files from any File Explorer (I use ES File Explorer)...

Needs Root Access though!!

Both my Nexus 5 and my LG G-Pad are simply running the stock android versions - neither are rooted!
