is there a way to add more storage to google chromecast with google tv? i've tried many methods to have CC recognize my 128gb usb 3.0 fat32 flashdrive. I've gotten a usb c hub adapter with ethernet port, i've plugged the fat32 usb flash drive, formated it in google tv as internal storage, google tv sees the flash drive but i won't allow me to use it to transfer files, use it as extra sotrage etc etc. Anyone got a work around? I've factory reset this device but no luck.

Not really a work-around.

yes i formated it using my windows laptop to fat32, then plugged it to the usb c hub, formatted it again using ccwgtv as internal stoage but still can't use the flashdrive for anything. If anyone here was able to expland their CCwGTV, please post the steps here. Thank you.
I used an old 16GB USB 2.0 stick, formated with AOMEI on a windows laptop, inserted into a USB type C hub to my CCwGTV and now in
Settings/Storage
in the internal storage I can see the 4,4 GB original space plus the 14,8 GB usb stick.
I also own a 256 GB USB 3.0 stick, inserted into the USB type C hub's second slot, which is presented as "External disk" in the storage menu.

pretty much. even after formatting it from the phone itself, the same error message repeats and I cannot view my data. But when I plug the usb into the laptop, all my content is intact. which technically means that the phone is failing to format the usb even after it shows the 'Format complete' message. I guess this is a CM Kernel problem
Has anyone tried using a USB micro to transfer files I bought a 64gb dual usb SanDisk drive for my phone that I can carry with me but I can't get it to work. It shows that it's there in storage and highlights the mount usb drive but does nothing when clicked. If anyone has used something like this please share what you are using so I can transfer my files so I can work off that OTG Storage thanks.
what file browser are you using?

use ES File manager
u can transfer all files u want from phone to usb storage o viceversa
Thanks
I got it to work had to change the flash drives exfat format to an 32fat, once I did that it worked.
I have this same problem with my 64gb Sandisc micro usb.
It highlights the mount in storage settings but does nothing.
Can you specify how you formatted the 64gb drive to 32 gb? As far as I know fat32 does not recognize any size larger than 32gb?
As far as the file managers being used they should be obsolete because if you cannot even mount the drive nothing will recognize it.
I bought 2 flash drives and have 4 Turbos with all having the same results. If anyone knows how to fix this problem please let me know.
Thanks,

Try browsing to /storage/usbdisk in Explorer free.
64 GB (fat32) should work, works fine on old Maxx.

He wasn't talking about formatting from 64GB to 32GB (storage space), it's the FILE SYSTEM (NTFS, FAT32, EXFAT) he changed.

Hi guys,
I installed the latest TWRP in my phone, when I tried to backup my ROM I noticed there is an OTG option, I've an Y-Cable, so I formated my usb drive to fat32 and plug in together, I rebooted the recovery, however nothing works, can anybody know how can I make backup to external storage? Thanks!!
1. Reboot to recovery
2. Plug in otg device
3. Go to mounts and mount the otg device
4. Go to backup
5. Hit the bar below the check boxes that says internal storage
6. Change to Otg
7. Backup as usual

Hi Red,
Ive already tried your options. However the otg device was showing 0mb in the mount menu. I've already formatted to fat32. Which otg cable type are you using? Does our device need external power?
It works with my otg cable with an old 512mb thumb drive in it. It also works with my 32gb Micro USB thumb drive.
You may have to hit the refresh sizes button to see something other than 0mb

I changed my otg cable to the traditional one (not the Y-Cable), it's working now
However, there are some weird things happened on my usb drive, I have two Kingstone DataTraveler usb drive and both of them have 8GB space, same model same space, same fat32 format. Both of them can be recognized by my computer, however only one of them can be recognized by my phone.
Try plugging in while the phone is running and format with the phone

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).

I am using cm 12.1 official and USB drive. I tried my friends usb drive its working .the only problem is with mines only.
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...
That's very strange. Could you please try a full format to NTFS?
And what is the capacity of the USB drive?

i tried that also but no use.. And pendrive is sandisk ultra 16gb dual
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.
I have a 64 gb corsair USB stick. On one end it has a normal usb port to plug into the PC, and on the other end, is a micro sd port for use with phones. I can use the external storage fine while booted into Android. However, I'm tryign to use it for TWRP backups, but I cannot get it to show up. I have tried mounting USB-OTG in TWRP (I'm using 3.0.2) and selecting the USB-OTG storage, but nothing happens.
Any suggestions?
