SD Card to Nexus 10 - Nexus 10 Accessories

When I go on trips I find myself taking my digital camera and Nexus 10 with me. I'm still pretty new to the Nexus 10 and I'm wondering what might be the easiest way to transfer pictures from the digital camera's SD card (not micro SD) directly to the Nexus 10? I seem to remember reading somewhere that the Nexus 10 needs to be "rooted" to effectively use the USB port...is that true? If not, is there a consensus on what adapter / cable / card reader might be best to achieve this?

Look fro a thread on OTG cable or something like that for a SD Card reader links. You'd need the StickMount app for that and need to be rooted to use that app.

So "Yes," it must be rooted to have the Nexus 10 see an SD card via the micro USB port?

Woh neddy. No need to root. Use nexus media importer app, my device is stock unrooted with otg SD card reader. Works good.
I mention a USB reader I got today in another post, titled something like "USB otg multi SD card reader, working n10" etc. It streams video off the card nicely too.

No you don't need to be rooted to see the SD card. However if you want to write to the SD card you must be rooted.

You could also try an Eye-Fi card. It goes in your camera and transfers photos through a wireless network setup by the card. I have one for my DSLR and love it. Transfers on the fly as you take photographs if your tablet is on near the camera.

Thanks! I've seen those before and considered it, but they seem a little pricey and I've noticed quite a few people complaining about stability issues and that the transfer rates are pretty poor. If you have DSLR I suspect the file sizes are pretty large. I would be curious to hear what your experience is with transferring pictures from your DSLR to your Nexus 10? Is it fairly quick?
Also, I noticed on Amazon.com that Transcend has a wireless SD Card as well. They cost quite a bit less than Eye-Fi. I wonder what makes Eye-Fi different from Transcend's product? If anyone knows please let me know.

As you asked about transfer from cam to nexus 10 you do only need an otg cable/reader and nexus media importer app to do that. Been doing it most of yesterday from canon eos 550d SD card to n10.
Best Try that before spending more on eyefi or rooting etc . just to be able to save to SD which I'd not see a use for in a camera situation. You'd be only reading off card onto nexus.

But would you be able to delete files from the card, to make more space? I'd like to pull videos from my GoPro. They are pretty large so the MiFi card won't work.

After i've Copied pics to n10 then i just use the delete feature of the camera to empty the card. The card has to go back in the camera so its no inconvenience. I don't know if you can delete from your go pro. Any old cheap SD card holding camera would do for deleting however.
Ok sure if a meteor strike was looming or something, being rooted may be advantagous but for most scenarios involving a camera SD card this is a simple solution, I had to choose a simple one as its for my dads n10 and his camera and he and technology don't mix unless its piss easy.
OPs question is answered comprehensibly as far as I see it! Go forth get the cable/reader, the app and don't worry!

I've never felt like the transfer rates were slow with my eye-fi card with my DSLR. Seems to only take a 3 or 4 seconds per pic.

Thanks everyone for all the information. I've purchased one of the Micro USB OTG cables from Amazon. Hopefully, it will do what I need.

With stock (non-rooted) N10, I used an OTG cable to connect my camera directly to the tablet using its micro-USB cable (ie N10 <--> OTG <--> camera cable <--> camera). The camera uses PTP to transfer the files, and tablet recognized it and immediately opened the Gallery with the pictures inside the camera. I could browse and import the pictures, but not delete them. But deletion is not necessary, you can still use the camera's menus for that.

The above does work quite well, but doesn't see video files to import or give chance to view them immediately like you can with SD card reader and media importer app. At least on our canon.
Handy to have that 2nd option though for pic import.

Look at the "USB Stick Plugin-TC (noroot)" in the Play-Store.
It allows write access to attached USB sticks for devices which are not rooted.

Can anyone recommend a seller on Amazon or EBay that sells a good quality and inexpensive OTG cable?

It's like buying a any cable for your computer. Pretty much any one will do. I bought the cheapest OTG 90 degree cable that amazon had good reviews for, it works just fine. Amazon search OTG cable, if it has some good reviews, just buy it, it's pretty hard for a company to screw up making a usb cable.

A Crazy Idea for a New OTG Way to Access Data Outside Nexus (and non-cloud)

TL;DR I have a cool, but hypothetical, idea for an alternate non-cloud way to access your data
There are many threads in which people are asking (and a few hyper-ventilating and a few ranting) about how they are to access non-cloud data on an N7 in light of the Nexus 7's lack of an SD-card reader. Just to name a few threads, there are: OTG USB cable, Questions About Specs OTG or WIFI Direct, The N7 Supports OTG Through Root, HDMI out and OTG Support and For Those Worried About Lack of Storage (USB-OTG Discussion Thread). And that's just for starters. As of this writing (which may be expired, null and void by tomorrow), the options seemed to boil down like this:
1. OTG (on-the-go) use of USB-based storage. Whether this refers to a way to read a memory card, such as an SD Card, or reading from a thumb/jump/flash drive or from an external USB HDD (hard disk drive) or external USB SSD (solid-state drive).
Concerns and Disadvantages: We don't know yet the voltage of the USB port (or the electrical current load it can sustain), but it's starting to look like maybe 3.3 volts is all she wrote. If that's true, then virtually nothing that is currently available will run off the USB port unless you put a powered USB hub between the N7 and whatever you're trying to read-write from.
I don't know how you feel about dongl'ing a powered hub (or battery-powered hub) between your N7 and your storage (whether that's an SD card in a card-reader or a thumb/jump/flash drive or whatever) , but that's a lot of stuff daisy-chained onto your tablet. Perhaps acceptable when you're at home, but it's sort of Rube Goldberg-ish to think of doing that on the road, in a plane, at a coffee shop. at work....​
2. PRIVATE CLOUD. Devices such as the Seagate Satellite (500gb) and the various models (64gb, 32b, 16gb) of the Kensington Wi-Drive have an on-board server and WIFI wireless access point. The Seagate claims 7+ hours (6+ in my experience based on heavy ues) and the Kensington about 4 hours. Other than turning it on, you can leave it in your pocket, backpack, purse or attaché, and it will serve, by wifi, whatever you want.
Concerns and Disadvantages: The 500gb Seagate Satellite is about $150 (if you shop hard). The 32gb Wi-Drive is about $85 and the 64gb Wi-Drive is about $180.
The Satellite is bigger than than the Wi-Drive, but both are bigger than you probably want to haul around with you.​
I might... maybe... possibly... have a better idea. But it's hypothetical for the moment.
The Satellite and Wi-Drive have on-board computers (on a chip) and WIFI hardware, but their overall size is maybe more than you want. But if you removed the drive (on the Satellite) or the flash memory (on the Wi-Drive), it would not be so big, even with the battery.
What about a device like the Satellite / Wi-Drive that just reads SD Cards instead? The Satellite and the Wi-Drive are just Linux computers-on-a-chip with a battery. They're sort of like this, I guess. Anyway, what if someone manufactured a battery-powered device whose only job was to serve up, by WIFI (and to create the WIFI environment, as needed) whatver storage appeared on a memory card, such as an SD Card?
What would you pay for something like that?
Heck, I bet that many... several... a few people on this forum could take off-the-shelf components (a Linux computer-on-a-board, WIFI circuitry and a battery, plus a card reader/writer) and make it all work -- and sell it for under $99.
Google / Amazon / Apple / Big Brother, may want us to live within a "cloud envionment" but we don't have to accept that.

Hmmm... perhaps... maybe... I'm not quite the genius that I pretend to be. But thanks, though, I'll look into the AirStash. It seems just a tad overpriced, but it (and the Wi-Drive and the Satellite) is still a solution to nearly everbody's gripe about the N7 with respect to lack of an SD Card slot.

ES File Explorer will also allow you to do this. It let's you read from LAN, FTP, BT....etc. I was just streaming a movie from my laptop to my Cappy using ES before checking in here. So I'm thinking it may be a viable option when tethering the tablet to my phone except I'll be serving the content from either my phone's internal storage or it's ext sd card.

Maybe I'm missing something but isn't the USB standard 5V? Seems to me nothing would run, including the controllers and such that are supposed to work(?), if 5V was not there. Unless it is something nasty like proprietary accessories only.
As far as current goes, I would think it would support at least a unit load of 100mA if it is standard compliant. I figured this would be enough for sticks or card readers but surprisingly I checked the units that I have and apparently the card reader wants 250 mA, the 8 and 16GB sticks want 300 mA and the tiny 32GB stick I bought last week for cheap wants the full 500 mA. No idea they were so hungry (maybe they aren't and just set high amounts anyways), that might blow my hopes of hooking up that tiny 32GB stick on the go out of the water... I wonder what the guys have have been playing with hooking up mass storage have been using.

Thanks for not calling me a dumba~~. If I'd posted the same thing on Reddit.com/r/android, within 15 minutes there would have been 20 people calling me an idiot for being unaware of the AirStash.
While XDA isn't immune to the occasional flame war or troll, the level of discourse here and the desire to help each other is really fantastic. I am so thankful for XDA.
I don't get why this is even being discussed. Either 8/16gb is enough for you or this tablet is NOT for you. If you need more storage, you either need 3/4g or an SD card slot and you need to move on. Who is going to walk around with a wifi hard drive in their pocket (not to mention keeping both charged)? Who is going to use a tablet with a hub and a hard drive attached to it? Who is going to use a tablet with a flash drive hanging out of it held in place only by a fragile little micro USB plug? All these solutions mean you'd be better off using a computer.
Either tether it with your phone, only use it at home or forget about it.

I might just because I can.
For the most part I just want a bigger screen to watch movies, browse the internet, and remotely connect to my computer and server and display the x11 using nvc, my phone is too small for it.
16 GB should be fine. I have 2TB on my server for cloud at home and on the go.
But if I could just plug in a usb to the tablet then that would be fine too.

Missing expandable storage?

I had a 64GB microSD card that was doing nothing more than sitting since the LG G2 does not have a microSD slot. I picked up a small OTG reader and now I have almost 90GB of storage! Really nice design, micro USB OTG on one end and standard USB on the other to use with a computer.
2-in-1 USB MicroSD OTG
About $3 shipped, reads 64GB cards (specifically SanDisk Ultra 64GB XC1 class), was seeing 30MB/second reads and 10MB/second writes from the computer. The phone has no problem reading the card and there is a headphone plug to keep the reader attached to the phone. It does seem a little flimsy, but for its size and cost I am still very pleased.

This sounds like the punchline "And that's how I joined a Mexican gang".
I've been ordering from dx.com for years, never a problem. You will wait and wait for the shipment, but it will get here. If there is a problem they will fix it, for $3 you might want to get more than one. There are many other OTG adapters there as well, search OTG and sort by price, low to high, and release date to see more options, there are even some android shaped ones.
I ordered and received these before posting, I will test it once I get my phone replaced. It decided to "die" last night, reboots, gets to lock screen, freezes then reboots, even reverted to stock rom with the same issue. Going to swap it at a Sprint store today.

Compact OTG Storage option - & well priced

Was in the process of sourcing parts to follow up suggestions in other threads for making a small external micro SD card reader, and came across these. The memory is fixed at 8, 16, or 32 GB but the price is less than I've been paying for the micro SD cards!

From prior experience with the supplier, although currently available pre-order only the actual items will be on the shelf soon. Certainly be getting a couple, and find a different project to play with.

Thanks for that link, I got the 16G version because of the direct plug into the device.. I've been wanting to try out F2FS and you gotta nuke the whole SD to do it, and I didn't really want to transfer it all over USB again. I think this will be much easier to deal with, and faster to transfer files back and forth from the device and get it back up again after formatting.
I'm planning to purchase either
the SanDisk Ultra Dual USB Drive, or
the Kingston DT microDuo, or
the Transcend JetFlash 380S.
They are very similar to each other. I wonder whether they differ on speed etc.
Any reviews based on experience with these or other dual USB drives are very much welcome.

I'm glad I got the 32g for just a few bucks more, my N7's whole SD card and a few TWRP's from each device and it's about full Although I could nuke the SD card backup now and free up a bunch of space.
It's a nice device, but almost too small. I'm afraid to carry it anywhere, so I put it in my zip-up earbud case since I carry them with me everywhere.

OTG USB Storage Works natively

So I was experimenting this evening and found that the M8 can't utilize my Meenova card reader (therefore, I wonder whether it will work with the equivalent Leaf product I saw announced recently).
However, when I pulled my USB OTG cable out, it read a USB drive just fine. That's a pleasant surprise, especially because it apparently does not require the Nexus Media importer (like my Nexus 7 FHD does) to access files on an external USB device.
I would assume, and I haven't tried this yet, that it would also read a hard drive (provided it was powered externally).
How was the SD card in the meenova formatted?

FAT32. It was a Sandisk 64g that used to run inside my Rezound and had worked with my Nexus 7 FHD via the Meenova previously.
Well I think it is because the M8 already have a SD slot and it can't adress the second.
Mine sees my meenova just fine with a sandisk 64, the red and gray ultra formatted FAT32. Try pulling the thing out slightly to where the hooks keep it from falling out and wait awhile, the first time it took a long time to mount but once it does it works fine afterwards.
It doesn't matter if a device has an external SD card, those are mounted as sdcard1 and so forth, OTG devices get mounted as usbdisk1 and on.
Lemme clarify that the phone can READ files from the meenova but can not write without modifying permissions.xml to reverse the 4.4 external media write protection.
that wouldn't have anything to do, I have no problems on my S3/S4 doing that
Unfortunately, I think it is the Meenova that is incompatible with the m8. I have an AT&T-branded m8, stock, and when the Meenova is plugged in, Android is cycles back and forth between mounting and unmounting it.
I take the microSD out of the Meenova and plug it into a USB reader in a USB-OTG cable and the m8 mounts it just fine.
I'm going to contact Meenova and see if they have any ideas.
I have both the Meenova and an OTG cable. I have tried multiple cards that work in my PC and tablet. None will mount on my M8. It just keeps flashing "Safe to Remove" and "Device Removed Unexpectedly" over and over.
Mine did the same thing of mounting/umounting also, until i pulled on it slightly because i thought the contacts were not making a proper connection. Pulled it slightly back to where the hooks caught it and it worked ok after. Probably not a great solution but just reporting that it does work with my meenova.

ps3 pad now works using ElementalX kernel, hopefully he will add otg support
Just looked on the meenova site and they explicitly point out that HTC One M8 (2014) is not supported. It would have been nice to get an idea if they plan to fix this or produce a new model that will support our phones For the time being I am using a USB OTG cable to connect to a Kingston USB3, it works but is bulky an inconvenient.
Really need the meenova to work so I can get around the no writing to ext sdcard from Kit Kat 4.4.

Ohhh thanx for that, I looked a few months back and could not find it, so got the Team M141. Have saved linked and will get one when I need it
Are you serious guys? Meenova doesn't work on your m8? Mine works fine. I tested it with a data transfer from meenova to internal sd card (2 gb file) worked good. Only thing is i can't use the meenova and headphone at the same time. Not enough space to put the headphone plug in with meenova inserted.
I can chime in and say that i found some old cables for hooking up internal drives yesterday. Hooked up a 2TB hitachi drive, worked like a charm.
Streaming from drive to chromecast didn't pose any problems either.

Micro SD card adapter OTG (kickstarter)

Made from the people who made micro USB SD card adapter!
I emailed their support seeing if it'll come to USB Type C and they sent back their kickstarter

Thanks for posting this- I've just backed it. The $10 early bird with free worldwide shipping is an easy buy from me.
Now let's see someone build it into a case like they do for the batteries (better yet, along with a battery), so we can have a card permanently mounted.
I supported the micro-usb product and though it was delayed significantly (IMO), it worked as promised. I have already backed the USB-C.
Just backed this for a type c version, thanks!
I backed this the other day as well thanks to this thread

I picked up their 1st gen card reader and it has been incredibly useful. I definitely recommend supporting these guys.
Thanks for the thread!
Backed one yesterday for the Type C adapter. Thanks!

Nice, that looks like the Sandisk one I have that is USB micro to USB A, but mine has built in memory and doesn't use a microsd card.
I just found the sandisk wireless flash drive the other day if anyone is looking for an unplugged experience. It works through WiFi, but you don't need internet. Supports up to 128gb cards. I feel like if I had an adapter sticking out of my phone something would get broken fast, even if it was only for 5 minutes. I'm a major butterfingers lol.

I'd usually agree with this, but I plan on using this to watch movies sometimes when I'm on transportation. I' d just put it portrait and prop it up, so probably wouldn't need to touch it too much.
Just so you all know, Monoprice has already made something like this, which is also works with USB A. I can't post a link to amazon due to a new account, but it's called the Monoprice Dual Mode USB-C MicroSD Reader.
