I have a USB OTG cable. Tried with various flash drives. All work using FAT32 and ExFAT. But not NTFS. Tried installing Paragon, Stick Mounter, USB OTG Helper. No dice. They get mounted but when I browse to the locations they say they mounted the drives to the folders are empty. What's weird is Paragon mounter actually lets me see the drives in it's app and even shows the files and folders. But I can't get to them!
Using Trickdroid 8.0.0. and also tried Teamviewer kernel that supposedly adds NTFS RW support.
Any ideas?
I know that stock sense kernel comes with exfat, however if you're using a custom kernel like I do exfat might probably not work.
What about ext3/4? I tried formatting my external sdcard ext4 but it won't be properly recognized by android.
Is there a way to achieve this in our devices?
I need to mount either a sdxc card or OTG USB drive (works with FAT32 & OTG Helper Pro) for a file that is larger
than 2GB.
Is there a way to add support for NTFS or exFAT to 5.1.1 rooted stock?
Can I use a USB disk formatted for EXT4 via OTG?
Thanks
Good morning, I would like to know if with this tablet I can use a 64gb or higher USB stick, and which format? (Fat32, exfat, NTFS)?
Thanks
OTG works fine on S2.
I have used a 128 GB stick with no problem and Micro SD up to 200 GB both internally and via OTG also no problems.

Thank you, which format are your SD and USB otg? Exfat, NTFS, fat32?
If you want to read and write to a NTFS drive (I've tested it with a SanDisk Extreme 64GB USB stick and a Western Digital 1.5 TB Elements drive) use:
Paragon exFAT, NTFS & HFS+ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paragon.mounter
And a file explorer such as Root Explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.rootexplorer
Other file explorers may work (they probably need root permissions), but the Samsung default file explorer doesn't "see" the connected USB drive.
Yeah I know those programmes, but at the beginning I wouldn't like to root my device. What I want to know is which kind of partition does the s2 natively read, from the manual I've only found fat and exfat. Could someone confirm that?
I use exFat and my latest file reader is FileKommander. I find it works best.

Thank you very much
My tab s2 Marshmallow failed to recognise my 128gb otg stick while my sisters tab 4 8" running android 5.01 recognise it just fine. Prob with permission in marshmallow?
Hi,
I know that for a USB-OTG stick can use Paragon to make exFAT and NTFS work.
How about microSD and exFAT for LOS 18.1 (/e/OS) on S10?
It doesn't work for me and If that doesn't work in general, then I would mind using NTFS or ext4 format.
I've also tried both and it doesn't work when I format it with Linux.
When I format it with Android built in formating option, then it does it with FAT32. I've tried to copy a 8GB File onto the SD and it give's me the impression that it was successful (no error message) when it actually wasn't. This is just a fun fact
My linux refused to copy a 8GB File to SD via MTP. This is how it should be with FAT32.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
