How do copy or transfer photos from the phone to the drive? You said it was easy but did not demonstrate. Do you go to gallery to select the photos and copy/cut and paste? Please show explicit directions.
When i first plugged it in to my Moto-G it detected and mounted fine and worked well with the Sandisk Mem Zone app as intended. But then after copying a few photos to the drive from my Win 7(64Bit) Dell Latitude E6430, the drive would not get detected and wouldn't auto mount or there will be inconsistencies in detecting it on the phone. I later, after a quick research found that I wasn't un-mounting it from the phone settings menu, I took it as granted and was ungracefully unplugging it which caused it to not get detected the next time when you plug it in. If the issue happens to you, ensure that you reboot the phone without the drive and plug it back in at the home screen to detect it again and from then on be sure to gracefully unplug it after use via the following menu if you are new to Moto-Android (Kit Kat) GUi like I was. Swipe down from the top of your screen to get to Settings>Storage>USB Disk> and press 'Unmount USB on-the-go storage' and that should keep the USB drive healthy. I had no other trouble after this step. The drive itself is a very sturdy, versatile and quality product from Sandisk and an essential accessory for Moto-G to carry around that extra bit of data if at all you exhaust the phone's measly built in memory

I have a samsung windows based phone and when I connected the devise it DID NOT DO anything did not regonize it!!!!! Best Buy told me it would and is compatible! ?????
I want to know How to... How to transfer from my Samsung G4 to my lap top ( windows 8), I think I have everything from my phone on to it.. but my computer wont take it in... I have been trying for 2 months to get my photo's to transfer to my lap top without any successes.. So I came in need of help.... any help at all would be good.
hey. i have this flashdrive and tried using it on a lenovo p780(it is otg capable), but it wont work.. i tried checking the micro usb connector it self, but it connects fine to Samsung devices. when using the normal usb side, i can connect it to the phone just fine, using my own micro usb adapter (which kind of defeats the purpose of buying the drive, lol), so i know that it can be connected.... any idea on how i can use it as it is intended? any help would really be appreciated
GinsuSher I have the same device and facing the same problem... have tried Stick mount and paragon mounter but nothing works... Plz let me know if you succeed to make it work.
I have even downloaded the SanDIsk Memory Zone. It doesn't work in my Samsung Galazy A5! Didn't even work on my another phone, the Grand 2 ( Samsung) But worked in my T2 Ultra Dual ( Sony) . Anything you can ask me to do to fix this? PLEASE.
I loaded my 32GB up with Flac music files in order to listen to them on my LG G2 16GB phone, when I connect this USB my phone immediately hangs.. and doesn't work at all...how can I use this...please help someone
Will this work for Nexus 9 or do I have to root the nexus 9? And in Android 5.0 I remember reading somewhere that you can move apps like games to external storage. Can someone confirm if that is true? Thanks
I'm sorry. I must be a dunce. HOW does one transfer date, say pix and videos from the phone to the flash? Yes, might appear easy to you, but I'm clueless here. Just opened the package. Plugged it in. See everything you're seeing, but how do you navigate through getting things off the phone onto the flash. I guess I need hand-holding, please.
Thank you for the information. Funny, old-lady, silly, whatever you want to call it, thing about this is that I had no idea there was a "file Explorer" on my phone. I actually used your words to Google it. Personal opinion, I think this is where some of "you" experts fail. Not all of us who have the technology, have the knowledge to use it fully. We use what we can and what we know, but when it comes to additional gadgets that make things easier, ie: the dual drive flash, we don't necessary know how to make it work. I thank you for giving me the words to be able to find out what I needed to know.
This really isn't anything to do with the expert failing to explain something. This is due to ignorance on your part that should not be there. If you are using a device like this, it is your responsibility to know how it works on such a basic level. Not knowing how the file structure works is your fault entirely; you should know these things if you want to use the device.
I believe your reply is sort of like this review site. It is meant to help those that are unclear as to how something works and to be supportive in ones comments. As for the ignorance on your part as to how an informative and help site works, it is your responsibility to know how these sites work on a basic level. Not knowing how to express yourself in a helpful way is your fault entirely; you should know these things before you offer your 2 cents. Carla, your question was legitimate. Guy needs help.

Would have been nice if you would have actually transferred a file, I have the sandisk app but it is not straight forward about the actual transfer from my samsung S5. Highlighting a file drop down menu offers no option to move to dongle. And sandisk website is worthless; shows video about how wonderfully it works, but no demo.
Bernard Bosniggah try using a custom ROM/kernel. Not familiar with the S4 Mini's ROM scene but check around XDA you might find something. You'll probably void your warranty though.
Bernard Bosniggah I'm not trying to be pessimist but the S4 mini actually can't support OTG, it's not a software issue. The S3 mini does have support but you had to force it.
I had a Samsung S3 with a 64gb sd card and had used it in my car with bluetooth to play my music while driving. Now I've upgraded to an S6 (not knowing they scratched the sd card slot). Does anyone know if loading the Sandisk Ultra Dual USB with music and plugging it in to my phone would allow me to continue listening to music through my bluetooth? Thanks
I bought one IT work very good but somehow it show connected to my phone "samsung galaxy s2" but i cannot find the usb file to see my stuff Please help :(
Mary, you will need to use a file explorer. Drive will appear as a drive a or external drive. If you dont see it just keep going to the top of your navigation tree like you would in windows explorer
Vikram Bajaj nope.. Not by default... The drive comes with exfat support which es file explorer doesn't support on the nexus 5.. U need to format it with fat32 or NTFS for it to work
OTG explained? How to test? 'A USB on one end'? 'A USB'? It'd be a USB Plug, wouldn't it? There are many USB 'things'. Forty seconds of info squeezed into four minutes. Could we have it tighter, t4m? Thx, nevertheless.
It will work only on Phones that has OTG Function , OTG cable is useless if Phone isn't OTG Capable. 1.Buy USB Driver + OTG Cable 2.Buy Directly USB OTG Drive and you don't need to use OTG Cable
agree with michael heath from a year ago. saying "it's easy to do this" without showing how is not helpful. until you correct, this video gets a D grade.
Thumbs up for this Video. I had WP10 OS phone so wasnt aware of OTG and stuff. Thanks for the concise-clear overiew.

Nice review. It was helpful and I am about to buy a 16GB of this San Disk Dual Drive for my new MotoG 16GB that I bought today :)

My samsung s4 mini don't recognise it, it has no notification if i plug it in, what to do now?
Bernard Bosniggah well that's because not all androids have OTG, the S4mini has not support for USB on the go so it won't work at all.
oh well that's pretty fucked
Bernard Bosniggah try using a custom ROM/kernel. Not familiar with the S4 Mini's ROM scene but check around XDA you might find something. You'll probably void your warranty though.
