The trick to transfer files from your mobile phone to a USB flash drive without a computer and in seconds

Recent versions of Android have improved support for external storage devices. This means that you can transfer files between your phone and a USB drive just as easily as you do on your computer.

Whether you want to transfer files from a tablet to a USB or vice versa, or simply want to manage the contents of your memory without having to boot up your computer, Google's operating system gives you the flexibility to do so.

To connect the flash drive to your Android device, make sure you have an OTG adapter , which is affordable and allows you to connect USB Type-A drives to your computer, which usually has a USB-C port.

There are several reasons why you might want to connect a USB memory stick to your Android phone, and one of the most common reasons is to transfer files to free up storage space on your computer.

- How to Connect USB OTG to Any Android Device

Once you have all the necessary items, it's time to connect the USB to the USB OTG adapter and then to your device's port.

At this point, you should see a notification on your phone or tablet saying USB flash drive added or something similar. Tap on the Open or Browse option to access the contents of the flash drive.

Your Android device's default file explorer will open, allowing you to navigate through all the folders and files on the USB drive. Now, to transfer files from your Android device to the pendrive, follow these simple steps:

With the USB flash drive connected to your phone, find the file you want to transfer on your device.

- Select the file or files you want to transfer by pressing and holding on them.

- Now, at the bottom of the screen, the quick actions menu will appear. Tap on the Move button.

- The file(s) transfer will start and depending on the size, it will take time to complete the procedure.

 It is important to make sure that your Android mobile phone is compatible with USB flash drives. However, it is worth noting that most modern phones are compatible, but it is a good idea to check this before purchasing an OTG adapter.
