I am trying to get large SD or microSD cards to connect to my droid turbo via an OTG adapter but have not had much success. I can successfully mount a 64GB flash drive and a 128GB microSD but when I step up to a 200GB microSD or a 256GB SD it does not mount. The button in the storage section of the setting to mount OTG storage becomes un-greyed-out but it will not mount it. My phone is rooted.
I was eventually able to figure it out by formatting the drives in FAT32 as primary and with 32kb cluster size. I used minitool to format the cards.
My next task is to try and connect multiple drives at once as well as a usb audio dac.

I have insert microsd on adapter, on a cel, on a notebook, but nothing has can format the memory. The device is not supported. Why?
What kind of card and card reader you're using? If it is microSDHC card, make sure it is FULLY compatible w/ the card reader.
My laptop and peripheral readers do not accept a microSD of any size above 2 gigs. All have been updated to no avail.
The latest 8 gig Sandisk microSD will format by using the Sandisk "MicroMate USB" read/writer plugged into a USB 2 port. I need to use the adapter (microSD to SD) as well as their MicroMate adapter.

Mack5305 you have reason! You are the best! I have insert my microsd of 4gb in the sd adapter and next i have inserted the sd adapter in MicroMate adapter and the card is read correctly!! I have format her!! Very thanks!!
I have a Nook Color, and I made a 4gb SDram that allows me to book to Android 2.3. It is possible to plug that thing into my PC and read/write to the free space on the SD card? I tried plugging in a generic Micro SD cable, and it comes up with 2 drives that it says are not formatted.
If you used the "size-agnostic" instructions or a derivative, then all you have to do is plug the charger cable into a PC.
Two drives will appear, one that's your /sdcard partition, the other is your /emmc partition. They should both be fully accessible from the PC like thumb drives, and you will need to tell Windows when you're done with them, like any thumb drive.
Windows has trouble with partitioned SD cards, and generally doesn't support the ext filesystems Android uses for some partitions; when you plug a card like this into a Linux PC, you get four drives, all fully accessible. Going through the NC exposes only the two partitions that everybody can use.

You can but only able to access it via usb cable plugged between your NC and your PC.
I'm planning to use Nexus 7 for displaying pictures that I take from my camera. What is the smallest OTG cable and SD card reader, or a combined product?
Please note that I'm using regular sized SD card.
What I found right now:
Sandisk MicroMate Reader
SANOXY Micro USB Host Mode OTG Cable
I think the card will be formatted FAT32 for my camera. If I run Nexus 7 without rooting, can I copy the photos into local memory and view them in gallery? What file explorer should I use?
Right now you need root to mount anything using an OTG cable. It is possible to write an app that doesn't need root though, hopefully a talented dev can whip that up.
i found this on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-Male-OTG-To-USB-2-O-Female-Adapter-Convertor-For-CellphoneTablet-/120947568723?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item1c29097053#ht_9259wt_1163 seems kinda big. You think we could find something smaller? + this thing too http://www.usbgeek.com/products/usb-smart-cable
Did anyone try OTG on P9 and if it works? There is one thread where someone confirmed that it works with ADATA UC 350, but I am wondering if USB host via OTG cable works as well (where you plug in keyboard, mouse, usb flash drive or hard drive).
I am also wondering if it would support 200gb microsd card in exFat format. Can someone test this? Even if you have 64gb or 128gb microsd card you can still test it to see if card is recognized in exFat. Since device supports microsd XC standard, which is from 64gb to 2TB, I don't know why offical statement is that it supports only cards up to 128gb. It should support 200gb as well, since they are both microsd XC standard, no?
I am using an OTG usb c cable and it reads my memory stick. Not tried any other peripherals like mice.
Not sure about the 200gb. I have a 128gb micro sd that I have set up as adaptive storage.

What format is your memory stick? If it is FAT32, can you format it into exFat and NTFS and tell me if it still reads it correctly?
It's fat 32 I believe. Sorry I am not able to as it's a 128gb stick and it's pretty full with works files. I have a surface pro and not much else storage I'm afraid.
I tested my 64gb usb flash drive formatted in exFat on my friends galaxy s7, and it looks like it supports it natively. If I test the same usb on my nexus 7 2013 (marshmallow), it says that usb is not supported. Can someone test exFat on Huawei p9?
I have an exfat microsd card in my P9.

What size? That means that Huawei supports exFat format, which means it should theoretically also support OTG exFat usb flash drive, I guess.

128gb. TWRP doesn't recognise it but the main OS does.
Is it possible to connect my External Hard disk to the phone? If yes, then do I need any separate accessories?
Currently I have an ext HDD which has multiple partititons, one of them is 32GB FAT32 partition. When I connect the charging cable's USB end to the HDD, nothing happens. All partitions are detected when I connect it to my laptop.
