Thanks for this! Got a Quest 3s and wanted to watch 3D movies I have on my computer hard drive and was having the hardest time finding clear easy to follow instructions on how to get them onto my Quest. Thanks for going step by step at a nice smooth pace!
Awesome video! I followed all your instructions step by step (love your clear calm voice), used the links you provided. Took about an hour but everything is working fine. Plugged in my USB drive and played a movie. I've googled and read others saying that the Quest 3 cannot read data from USB drive but you proved them wrong. Keep up the great work!!!
filesystem? should the usb drive be in fat32 for the installation of total commander and ntfs paragon by microsoft or can it it be in ntfs for the whole tutorial?
Is there a way to watch videos from an external SSD using USB-C while plugged in, charging? Every time I try to use a USB hub or a Link Cable with power delivery pass through, it either charges or reads the SSD but not both
The whole point of using a usb drive is, because the Quest does not have enough storage. So how do I watch Videos stored on the usb device WITHOUT copying them to the VR-Headset??
if sidequest won't install one of the APK files, select one of the older versions. exfat for USB wasn't installing since they updated. it doesn't seem to be compatible with XAPK files.
File commander does not work for me. After I mount and click open it directs me to google play store to down load a file manager. Both the apk have been installed and have allowed access for both.
This was good for a few days but now the 4XVR player says the trial is over and no longer lets me play from USB!!! is there ANY free apps that play files from USB?!??!?!?!
Great vid but doesn't work for me either. 4:42 there is no 2 second timer on my screen. Only options is start trial and cancel. Can't sign up since you can't logon to google play store. Quest 3 V64.
hi there, i actually tested it again just now on v64 and it works the same for me. it's actually a 10 sec timer, you can have a better look here: th-cam.com/video/ss9wrNF-eXQ/w-d-xo.html
@@vrstellarrr I found the issue. My SSD is formatted as exfat and won't populate the 10 second timer. I reformatted as NTFS and now I get the 10 second timer. Thanks!
Moon VR. Great FREE player.. been reading my external hard drive for 2 plus years now and no one really talked about it.. great app. I'm smart handicapped and I sorted it out day 1🙏🪙(you are blessed)+1 knowledge
If anyone is having issues with the whole ( paragon Software is asking for purchase before mounting ) its having no count down or disappearing after it trys to mount the usb in about 6 seconds, then I recommend this. Remove your usb and reformat it to NTFC. Now repeat everything she just did,..... it should work. There's issues with the usb in exFat format. You probably have your usb formatted in exFat.....am I correct. lol. Good Luck !
🛑 to those not getting the 10 sec timer when you click 'Mount' please reformat your drive as NTFS. thanks to @martinezdion for sharing this fix!
how?

Yea, my headset would lose charge before the end of the movie

Great video. Looking forward to more tips and tricks. Thank you.
My quest 3 is asking for formatting. Is there a way to format it on Mac? I see no option in the quest.
it works! very good video. thank you.
could apks be installed and run from the usb drive?
Dang, wish I could just plug it in and go to files tbh
Thank you.
Does this work for quest games too?
Just Sideload them using sidequest
does this work with FAT32 or no?

The apk files arent downloading and keeps saying waiting for network, anyone knows how to help?
4xvr and the other player both need subscriptions to work, is there any free
Moon VR. Great FREE player.. been reading my external hard drive for 2 plus years now and no one really talked about it.. great app. I'm smart handicapped and I sorted it out day 1🙏🪙(you are blessed)+1 knowledge
yes. microsoft have one plugin for usb that is free. download same place.. should be on the same list where you got the exfat thingy.
Did it work?
