File Transfer Problem with USB Connection

Hi All
Hope someone can help me out here.
I am having problem with connecting the USB cable for file transfers. It was working before until tonight. I keep getting this "initialising..." on the mobile screen when the USB cable is plugged in and it keeps flashing on the screen without establishing a proper connection with the computer. Kies has already been installed on the pc. Does anyone know why it's doing this? I'm unable to transfer files now and it's a problem for me.
On another note, is it possible at all to transfer files using the USB cable without installing Kies?
Regards

Yes. Go to USB settings and select mass storage. Your GS will connect as an external drive.

I'm also having this issue. Tried flashing B518 again, installed Recovery, flashed elora with all wipes.
When I connect the usb cable, it only charges the phone. If I enable usb debugging, it detects I've connected an usb cable, but nothing more.
If I reboot the phone with usb cable connected to pc, during startup the phone FC android.process.media

USB doesnt mount

I just recieved a USB adapter that I bought from eBay ( http://www.ebay.ca/itm/200864679193?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 )
I have tried connecting a few USBs but none of them are working. It just says USB Connector connected. When i connected a logitech controller it gave me an error message that it was a high powered device. Not sure if there is something wrong with the adapter or if I need to instal additional drivers/apps to help with the mounting, or maybe change a few settings.
Can anyone verify if they can mount USBs on JB?

Nvm, I got it to work. Found a clue on a different seller's ebay page.
All you need to do is connect the cable to your device and restart it. Once it restarts, take off the cable and connect the desired USB device and connect the cable back.
Also, make sure your USB is formatted as FAT32.
This is what I found on the web:
" By default the Android device supports the FAT32 format only. If your flash drive is in NTFS
format, it will be seen as a blank drive.
For the first time to use the OTG cable, please connect the cable with your phone and restart the
phone. (Before you use USB devices to connect your phone, please firstly connect the USB
devices with the cable, then connect your phone.)
When you need to change USB devices, please unplug the OTG cable from mobile phone firstly,
then change USB devices, and plug in your phone."

Oneplus 5 doesnot recognize usb stick.

Hello, my Oneplus 5 doesnot recognize my usb stick. I want to place files in de memory of my Oneplus 5 but this seems not possible. Does anyone know the solution?
Would appreciate some help.

Turn on OTG from the developer options

You must have checked the option in Settings-> Advanced-> OTG storage

The radio doesn't react to plugging in a pendrive

My radio is from china with android 8.1 and supports USB disk up to 32 GB
When I plug a flash drive into any of the two USB ports, nothing happens on the radio, no response, fat32 and NTFS flash drives do nothing. You think it's something with the settings? When I plug my phone into the port it only charges. Mirrorlink usb can't connect either. Please help me.
I'm sorry if the topic is in the wrong category, but I'm from Poland and I don't understand much,

Did you format it fat 32 ?
Also try another USB stick

Did you check that the usb ports are well connected to the back of the units? Perhaps the connector is loose

Yes i formated it fat32 and this same situation - nothing like that in NTFS format.
Today i will try with another usb stick but if I connect my phone with wire - radio doesnt react too.

Yes I did.Everything is connected well behind radio.
Maybe its something in settings to do?

Maybe try plug-in your cell phone see if it sees your phone or some other device
