So, we have NTFS support covered, but what about exFAT? Unfortunately my video camera runs on a 16GB exFAT SDHC, and won't recognize NTFS filesystem. Will it be possible?
As title says, having trouble copying files from the nexus 7 into an external HDD or a USB stick, only able to read from it. Any way to work around this?
Working on stock ROM, rooted and unlocked. Using stickmount.
Try with custom kernel

Will try. Thanks!
No custom kernel is needed for storage formatted with fat32. I'm stock, rooted, 4.2.1, with the latest stickmount. I bought the pro to support the dev. I can read/write to external storage using the OTG cable. I can play music and videos from the thumbdrive or sdcard reader. I think the stickmount dev is working on ntfs support, which has previously required kernel support. But if your storage is fat32, there should be no problem accessing it.
I am having issues with the following setup on my Nexus 7. I have the eForCity Micro USB OTG to USB 2.0 Adapter and the elago Mobile Nano I USB 2.0 microSDHC Flash Memory Card Reader. I have tried two microSD cards, one 32gb and one 64gb and I am unable to copy files to the card using both Root Explorer and ES File Explorer. It says that the copy failed. I have tried formatting the as exFat, NTFS and FAT32 and no luck. Anyone out there experience this?
Thank you in advance,

You're missing a piece of the puzzle. If rooted, you should install Stickmount, which mounts external storage using the OTG Usb cable. I use it to read/write and stream media from a 32Gb microsd card using FAT32. Some custom kernels or roms natively support mounting, but I'm just stock, rooted, 4.2.1.

Thank you for your reply. Sorry, I forgot to mention that I am rooted and I was already using Stickmount. I am able to mount both the 32gb and 64gb cards and see the content on them and access the content on them but I can not copy anything to either card when connected to the Nexus 7. Any other things I can try?
It appears that I need to have the card formatted to FAT32 in order to be able to copy to the card from the Nexus 7. Does this sound correct or is there a way to get the card formatted to NTFS or exFAT?
Some custom kernels and custom roms support NTFS, but I'm just using FAT32 which works perfectly unless you need support for files over 4Gb. Easiest way to get it to work is to just format your storage with FAT32.

Yeah, that should suit me just fine. Thank you for your response.

this is correct. android reads, but doesn't support writing to NTFS or exFAT natively. some kernels add ntfs-g, which does give you write access, but it's buggy at best.
Hello all,
I am using g900i with xtrestolite 5.0 rooted rom. I want to connect my external hdd via usb otg. Problem is that i have 2 partitions, 1 is fat 32 of about 120gb and rest is ntfs. I have already tried stickmount and paragon to connect ntfs but was unsuccessful. The fat32 version wosrks natively.
Please help.
Im using p585y , rooted, otg shown corrupted if otg is ntfs, I thought samsung supported ntfs?
