Does this device support USB OTG out of the box? Or is there any hack that'll enable it? I know the Moto G 2014 does, so it'd be rather odd if the X didn't.

Yes, its enabled out of the box. Use a file explorer to access it, unmount by going to settings->storage
Yep, just got my Moto x today, tested otg with a 64GB micro sd on the otg end and it works like a charm with very fast access.

Check formatting on your card? I had a 64 GB formatted exFAT which did not work, but works fine formatted with FAT32.
What about USB OTG support on Lollipop 5.0? Is it works or not?
my sandisk 64gb dual drive isn't mounting...
I too am having issues with otg support on my Verizon Moto X 2014 XT1096 running Lollipop 5.0 with an Adata UD320. Works fine on my first gen Moto x but in the 2014 it wont stay mounted. Wonder if it's a Lollipop issue? Anyone else having trouble?
Uninstalling Root Explorer solves this problem ans the flash drive works as normal.

Do you have write access? I can read from USB but not write
I just bought an otg cable from Amazon and it has worked flawlessly on my Moto X 2014 running stock lollipop. I have tested it with a wireless mouse, wired mouse, Logitech keyboard and a thumb drive. I successfully copied files from thumbdrive to phone via ES explorer.

Have you tried copying to the drive from the phone
I just tested this, and yes, I successfully copied to the phone via otg cable. Let me know if you have anything else I could test.

Two thoughts. First, you have the sandisk driver/file explorer loaded right? Also, I think I saw someplace Moto X may have an issue with ExFAT, and you may have to go Fat32.

i agree on fat32, don't think stock android supports exfat due to licensing issues. i'm using a 32gb card in a meenova (2nd gen)

can anyone else confirm write access to USB drive from the phone to the usb drive
I'm guessing otg only works with a cable and not sandisk dual USB types? I have a sandisk dual usb 64gb formatted fat32, and I can't write from phone to usb

Probably a big-time noob question, but now do I get my tablet to recognize my SD card when using the adapter? Are there more steps than simply plugging it in and looking for it with a file manager? For that matter, the same question applies to the USB adapter when using it with a flash drive. Someone please help and confirm my ineptitude! Thanks!

Running stock? It will pop up on the bottom, where the clock is.
Running a custom ROM? Not sure.

There is a special folder: Storages where external usb memory can be found when mounted.
In my experience USB OTG is a very good replacement of embedded external SD card and it works very well with two usb adapters I tried.
I recently acquired a 64GB USB flash drive (Kingston USB 2.0 Data Traveler micro). The drive originally came formatted in FAT32. It worked fine on my 2013 Nexus 7 (stock rooted) with Chainfire's Stickmount app, but not on my Verizon DE moto x (stock rooted). Basically, the x won't recognize that a drive is attached at all and it won't mount. I tried reformatting the flash drive in NTFS and exFAT, but still wouldn't work moto x. I have a 2GB flash drive that works just fine on the moto x in FAT, FAT32, and NTFS, so I know the moto x will read drives in those formats.
I was wondering if the problems I'm having with the 64GB drive on the moto x have to do with the storage size or if it's something else with this particular brand/model flash drive. Before I buy another 64GB drive I was wondering if anyone else has had similar problems or successes in getting a 64GB flash drive to work with the moto x.
Since nobody has answered you and I've been searching for answers, the Sandisk 64GB Dual USB drive I just picked up works on my Moto X running 4.4.2. Paragon NTFS&HFS+ is necessary because my card is still exFat. Stickmount isn't necessary with 4.4.2 but it is with 4.4. The only issue I have is trying to figure out how to have the USB drive show up as an external drive instead of a virtual folder within the internal sd card.
Hey guys just a quick question, does the HTC one support USB otg straight out of the box or does it need extra help to get going?

However, the USB must be formatted in FAT32

Help!
I cannot copy and paste files from phone to USB flashdrive using OTG, but it works from USB flashdrive to my phone.
I'm running MIUI-1.18.0(Root India).
Thanx in advance!
What miui is that? 1.18.0? Does it even exist?

Hi. I too am having a similar issue. In my case however, the USB drive is detected as a device but size is showed as 0bytes! I am using a 32GB SD card with an OTG card reader. Is this not supported by MI3 ?

OTG is working fine on my Mi3W, please make sure you format your SD Card or USB Drive to FAT32.

Which OS are you running? Did you try a different USB drive/OTG cable?
In Lollipop 5.1, it automatically mounts USB and you can access it in file manager (I use ES).

And that also i done clean formatted with fat32 so many times still it is not able to detect in phone but it is working in pc perfectly...

And what is the capacity of the USB drive?

I believe there is some problem with your dual USB drive. I have Sandisk Ultra dual 64GB and mine works fine (I own Moto G 2nd gen, but there are not much hardware differences in 1st and 2nd gen). If it is in warranty, maybe you should go for replacement.
