Can anyone tell me the best way to transfer files to the usb flash drive attached to the shield? I tried accessing the usb drive from my computer network but could only get into the 16gb internal but not my attached usb? Any reasons why?
Hello mmar141, You cannot access the removable storage connected to the Shield over the network, You can access Only the Shield's main storage or the drives that are converted Into Adoptable storage can be accessed over the network!

I just got my G2 yesterday and so far am quite pleased with it.
I'm trying to connect it to my PC as a USB mass storage drive so I can have some of my applications access the files directly. These require the mount to be mapped to a drive letter (e.g. "g:"). I do not see an option to do that when I plug in my USB data cable. The only options are "Charge phone", "MTP" and "PTP".
Is there a way to mount the phone as a USB mass storage drive?
Wireless storage, can be mounted as a network drive. No mass storage through USB besides MPT. =/
i encountered a problem with my external USB 3.0 disk, shield tv won't recognise the disk. its formatted in NTFS in just one partition. In settings > storage the usb drive is greyed out and it says "unsupported file system, or drive is blank", which isnt the case.
i tried to format the disk to several formats shield tv is able to access (i.e exfat, fat 32, ntfs), i also did a full format of the external drive (removing mbr and all partitions)... didnt solve the problem.
and to be sure that its not a controller problem, i hooked another hard disk on the same usb 3.0 controller and everything is working fine.
so i guess its a problem with the drive (seagate momentus thin 500GB), but it works on any other device except the shield TV.
any ideas?
well... found a solution now: i did a full low level format of the disk (not just the fast one with mbr/partition removal), formatted it as ex-fat with win 10. after that shield tv was able to mount it. then i erased the drive in settings > storage, removed it safely and copied the files back on with my computer. now it seems to work as it should.
problem solved
Hey everyone,
I was wondering if anyone can help me. I'm trying to put files like emulator files on my usb drive that has been converted internal storage (usb). My computer won't read the usb after it is formatted to be an internal storage.
I have the files on a sdcard but wondering how I can transfer all that to be on the usb drive.
Please let me know thanks!
As far as I know once you format any external storage as internal then that drive is going to be encrypted. This is the reason why your PC won't read it when you insert it back to its own USB ports. You can read it via NSTV if you connect it to your computer via USB cable as long as you enable USB debugging. To recover the USB for general use you have to erase it from NSTV/storage and then eject and then it might work again on your PC. I said it might because sometimes you would have to do a low lever format to completely remove the encryption. Good luck.
can i load additional movies onto the usb drive without disconnecting from the shield tv as in transfer files from my computer directly to the usb 3.0 external drive attached to the shield?
i dont want to format it so it part of the android system as i have a sd card
please advise?
thanks
Dear All
Please help me urgently I am really going mad.
After downgrading my Lenovo k4 note from MM to LP (A7010a48_S152_160302_ROW), I am not able to access internal storage and SD card from my laptop.
In USB computer connection options when I am
1) connecting to Media device then -> showing CD drive of Lenovo suite, not able to see both internal and external storage in laptop
2) connecting to Camera (PTP) then -> laptop showing DCIM folder and another pic folder of both internal and external storage, but I can transfer only pics & video, still not able to see both storages as an external storage.
I have connected my mobile to other PC and I am surprised that I am able to see internal and SD on other PC. So I have checked with other mobile to connect my PC and surprised again that my Samsung J7 connected to my PC I am able to access both internal storage and external storage. I am using windows 8.1 on my PC.
Further, I am not able to use my phone wifi, my wifi is not connecting to any wifi devices and asking password again and again.
