[Q] connecting Droid X to A500 via USB to transfer files?

Is there a way to transfer files from android phone to A500 using USB to USB?
I was having some issues with bluetooth and had a USB cable from my Droid X and thought, "hmmm, I wonder..." Well, it did not work. No notifications on either device. Is it possible to do so?

USB OTG enabled as standard

I'd seen contradictory posts about whether the 2014 Moto E supported USB OTG. But I can confirm the 2015 version has it working perfectly. Plugged in my thumbdrive on an OTG cable, went to /storage/usbdisk in ES File Explorer and all my files were there. After having to jump through hoops to get it working on my Nexus 7, this is a pleasant surprise.

I haven't had any issues on the Moto E 2015 4G LTE (model XT1527) connected a OTG device np, check that the drive your
connecting has a supported filesystem and verify that your OTG equipment isn't bad (I've had that happen before).

USB OTG
hi
It seems to depend on what you have. I have an XT1505 and an XT1527, both US versions bought direct from Motorola. Spec Device says both have OTG, Chainfire's USB Host test utility says only the XT1527 does. I've used a USB drive on this XT1527, I had a Go Phone version of the XT1527 before and I was able to use a USB keyboard (can't find my mouse) and an RT2832 SDR dongle with SDR Touch using a powered USB hub. That Go Phone (and probably most cheap versions) wouldn't tether and Motorola wouldn't give me the unlock code for the bootloader so I returned it. The retail version ($150) tethers fine and I've got the unlock code already.
I keep hoping it's a software/firmware deficiency on the XT1505 that it might be possible to change once it's rooted. At least this one can be rooted, I think. I've had no luck using OTG even with a powered hub. From Linux I can use ADB and fastboot, I can transfer files in and out of it with PCManFM which pops up when I plug it in (Debian). Motorola's Windows USB drivers I've had trouble with. I can tether with both phones over USB to Linux or Windows, the 1527's much faster.
"Mount USB On-The-Go storage" in Settings -> Storage is greyed out on my phone. Is it normally greyed out, then gets selectable when you plug the OTG cord in? (I don't have a cord yet -- want to know if it works first.)
I have a 2015 4G LTE (Verizon XT 1528).
Thx.

OTG webcam?

Hi,
I've brought a endoscope from ebay which just plugs into the micro-usb port on the phone. For some reason the LED lights come on, on the camera but the camera itself isn't found by any usb webcam apps. I tried with my girlfriends moto G and still nothing. Thinking maybe the camera is faulty I used the supplied micro-usb to USB adapter and plugged it into my windows 10 laptop and without installing drivers and using the stock windows 10 webcam app it worked.
I then tried it on my old galaxy S4 running lollipop (running a custom rom haven't bothered updating it) and the camera works fine with the same app I tried using on my note 4. So I'm assuming there's some issue with marshmallow? Weird thing is if I plug in a usb drive or even my wireless mouse it recognizes both of them and I have no issues it's just the external camera. Anyone got any suggestions on what to do?
different usb devices require different drivers.
and with android if the driver isn't baked into the rom, the device can't be used.

Dual OTG cable for PC and keyboard: will this work?

Hi guys,
due to a the touchscreen no loger working I need to connect my Moto X Style simultaneusy to:
My Windows PC (ADB)
External keyboard (OTG)
So I basically need two USB input (one for PC, one for the keyboard) and one microUSB out to the phone.
I found this:
Before I pull the trigger, I'd like to know: will it work? I'm hesitant because I already tried with a "self-powered desktop USB hub" connected to a simple OTG cable and it didn't work (the keyboard work, but the PC doesn't see the phone).
Thanks!
Well, I connected a wireless keyboard with touchpad with the OTG cable and it worked both things, I don't know if your mouse and keyboard are wired and if they draw too much power to the phone, I connected once a portable HDD via otg and it worked, but for a minute or two, it drawed too much power...
I don't think you can have two usb host devices connected to each other (the phone and the pc). if it was a keyboard and mouse that would work.
