How to use external storage on your phone
With the rapid development of technology, mobile phones have become an indispensable part of people's daily lives. Not only can it take photos, send text messages, play games and other functions, today's mobile phones can also read USB flash drives. This brings us more convenience and choices when using mobile phones. So, how does the mobile phone read the USB flash drive? Below we will introduce you to several common methods.
Method 1: Use OTG cable
OTG (On-The-Go) cable is a cable that connects a mobile phone and an external device (such as a USB flash drive). Generally speaking, only mobile phones that support OTG function can read USB flash drives through OTG cable. Most Android phones support the OTG function, but Apple phones need to be connected to the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter to achieve it.
The steps to use an OTG cable to read a USB flash drive are as follows:
- First you need to determine whether the phone supports the OTG function. This can be confirmed by looking for the relevant option in your phone's settings.
- Prepare an OTG cable and a USB flash drive.
- Connect one interface of the OTG cable to the charging port or USB interface on the mobile phone.
- Insert the USB flash drive into the other end of the OTG cable.
- A prompt box will pop up on the phone screen, asking you how to process the contents of the USB flash drive (such as opening, importing, etc.), just select the appropriate option.
Method 2: Use wireless transmission
In addition to using the OTG cable, you can also read the contents of the USB flash drive by using wireless transmission. This requires the help of some applications.
Among them, AirMore and ES file browser are the more commonly used applications. These two applications can connect mobile phones and computers through wireless networks, and then operate the contents of the USB flash drive through the computer browser.
The steps to use wireless transmission to read a USB flash drive are as follows:
- First download and install AirMore or ES file browser in the mobile app store.
- Open the application, make relevant settings according to the application prompts, and ensure that the phone and computer are on the same wireless network.
- Open your computer browser, enter the URL provided by the application, and follow the instructions on the webpage.
- In your computer browser, you will see a list of files on your phone.
- Find the path of the U disk in the file list and click to enter to view and operate the files on the U disk.
Method 3: Use cloud storage service
In addition to the OTG cable and wireless transmission method, we can also use cloud storage services to read the contents of the USB flash drive. There are many cloud storage services on the market for us to choose from, such as Baidu Cloud, Tencent Cloud, Alibaba Cloud, etc.
The steps to use the cloud storage service to read a USB flash drive are as follows:
- First download and install a suitable cloud storage application, such as Baidu Cloud, in the mobile app store.
- Register a cloud storage account and log in.
- Copy the files on the USB flash drive to the cloud storage service, and you can access them through the cloud storage application on your mobile phone.
- Open the cloud storage application on your phone and log in to the account registered above.
- Find the file stored in the U disk on the application interface, and you can view and operate it.
Summary:
Through the above three methods, we can easily connect the mobile phone and the U disk to realize the function of reading the contents of the U disk. Whether using OTG cables, wireless transmission or cloud storage services, they all bring more convenience to our lives. However, when reading a USB flash drive, we need to pay attention to the security of the files to avoid the intrusion of viruses and malware. When using a mobile phone to read a USB flash drive, please ensure that the source of the USB flash drive is reliable to avoid leakage or damage of mobile phone data.

'Tandem OLED' has been popularized by Apple. How is it better than OLED?
Aug 19, 2024 am 04:42 AM
Although Apple has been criticized for its lack of innovation in recent years, Apple has not always stood still. At least in terms of hardware design, with the support of the high unit prices of Apple products, its engineers can easily try some new technologies without having to consider too much cost issues. For example, iPad Pro, as Apple's favorite "display technology" test field, iPad Pro has been at the forefront of display technology for portable smart devices from miniLED in 2021 to tandem OLED in 2024. Although the iPad Pro is not the first portable smart device equipped with a miniLED screen (MSI released a miniLED laptop a year earlier than Apple), when you compare the parameters of the two, you will quickly realize that they are not the same

Apple and Huawei both wanted to make a buttonless phone, but Xiaomi made it first?
Aug 29, 2024 pm 03:33 PM
According to a report from Smartprix, Xiaomi is developing a buttonless mobile phone codenamed "Suzaku". According to this news, this mobile phone codenamed Zhuque will be designed with an integrated concept, use an under-screen camera, and be equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 8gen4 processor. If the plan does not change, we are likely to see its arrival in 2025. When I saw this news, I thought I was back in 2019 - at that time, Xiaomi released the Mi MIX Alpha concept phone, and the surround-screen button-less design was quite amazing. This is the first time I have seen the charm of a buttonless mobile phone. If you want a piece of "magic glass", you must first kill the buttons.
