Description by KyuuDroïd(from Google Play)
USB OTG File Manager for Nexus allows you to open and copy files from any USB mass storage device with a FAT32 or NTFS filesystem using the USB OTG port of your device, tablet or phone.
With a FAT32 filesystem, you can copy files to any USB mass storage device and manage your files on it (edit filenames, add directories, delete files) too. You can also manage your files in the internal memory of your device.
This application has been designed for Nexus products which have an USB "OnTheGo" port, as the Nexus 5, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, and the brand new Nexus 6 and Nexus 9. But it could work on any device with an USB OTG port Under Android 4.0 or later, including the last Android 5.0 Lollipop.
Root privileges are NOT necessary!
For now, FAT32 filesystem is supported for data read and write, and NTFS filesystem is only supported for data read. You can use USB sticks or SD card readers with any compatible USB OTG cable.
*** NEW FEATURE ***
You can now play playlists (m3u and m3u8 files) and multiple audio files (mp3, aac, m4a, flac, ogg and wav files) at the same time from your USB OTG mass storage device. For that, you need to install my new app Simple Music Player which exists in two versions: - Free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kyuudroid.simplemusicplayer.free - Paid version to support my developments and get some additional features in the future: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kyuudroid.simplemusicplayer
Once Simple Music Player is installed, select the files you want to play on your USB device, push the open button and select the Simple Music Player app. This is a brand new feature, so if you have any issue, don't hesitate to send me an e-mail! Your feedback would be appreciated too.
*** FEATURES ***
USB OTG File Manager for Nexus allows you to open your files directly from your USB device! You just need to have an app that can handle it. For audio and video, I advise you to use VLC. The new Network Access authorization is only here for local use to be able to open the files. The app NEVER send or receive data to/from Internet.
USB OTG File Manager for Nexus supports devices with multiple logical units (like a GPS with an internal memory and an additional SD card) and allows you to choose which logical unit you want to read.
USB OTG File Manager for Nexus now includes an "Advanced Mode" which allows you to access to all the files of your device. You can now create files and directories outside of the official Android public directories. This is for advanced users only!
Before buying this application, please try the free trial version named USB OTG File Manager Trial for Nexus to be sure that this application is working with your USB devices.

Comments on USB OTG File Manager for Nexus for Android
★★★★★
Nice user interface for file transfer to OTG USB This app is very convenient for managing photo backup from my Nexus 5x while away from data connections.
★★★★★
It Works! You can do all the basic file management functions on an OTG drive, but the file transfer is slow, so allow time for that. It's great for off-loading stuff to a micro card while travelling, so your tablet has a lot of memory available for photos or video.
★★★★★
Works great on S4 I have no problem transfering any file from my external hard disk and usb to phone, but i can't play video files avi,mp4,vlc etc...
★★☆☆☆
Doesn't work I can see all my files and copy them to and from my device but I can't play .mp4 videos from the USB stick (which is why I got the app) I'm using vlc to open the .mp4 my memory stick is FAT32 format it's a 32Gb SanDisk Cruzer Blade. Strangely it can open .mp3 music and .jpg images????????? Any help?? P.s. any one else having this problem.
★★☆☆☆
Unpredictable Tried copy multiple files but the count was different at destination as compared to source. Cannot trust anymore on the app. Would expect the refund. I am using Nexus 5
★★☆☆☆
So slow i am using it in my nexus 5 and it takes 20 min to copy 1.6gb file from nexus 5 to sandisk 16gb flash drive. With samsung s3 , same file copied from flash drive to samsung s3 and it took less than 3 mins.
