How to Move Photos to USB Device from Android Phone with OTG Adapter (Best Method)
6Transferring photos from an Android phone to a USB device using an OTG adapter is a straightforward process. Here is the best method, which is a common approach that works for most Android devices.
What You'll Need
An Android Phone: Ensure your phone is "USB OTG" (On-The-Go) compatible. Most modern Android phones support this. If you are unsure, you can check the manufacturer's website or an app like "USB OTG Checker" from the Google Play Store.
A USB OTG Adapter: This small adapter plugs into your phone's charging port (either USB-C or Micro-USB) and provides a standard USB port for you to connect a USB flash drive or other USB device.
A USB Flash Drive: Make sure it has enough storage space for all the photos you want to transfer. It should also be formatted to a compatible file system, such as FAT32 or exFAT.
Step-by-Step Guide
Connect the devices: Plug the USB OTG adapter into your phone's charging port. Then, plug your USB flash drive into the USB port on the adapter.
Access your files: A notification should appear on your phone indicating that the USB drive has been connected. Tap on this notification to open your phone's file manager app, such as "My Files" (on Samsung) or "Files" (on Google Pixel). If a notification doesn't appear, open the file manager app manually.
Locate your photos: In the file manager, navigate to the folder where your photos are stored. This is typically the "DCIM" (Digital Camera Images) folder on your phone's internal storage or SD card.
Select the photos: Long-press on one photo to select it. You can then select additional photos or tap "Select All" to choose everything in the folder.
Copy the photos: After selecting the photos, look for an option to "Copy" or "Move." Tapping "Copy" is recommended as it keeps the original files on your phone as a backup.
Paste to the USB drive: Navigate back to the main menu of your file manager and select the connected USB drive (it may be labeled as "USB storage" or something similar). Choose a folder on the USB drive, or create a new one, and then tap "Paste here."
Safely eject the drive: Once the transfer is complete, it's crucial to "unmount" or "eject" the USB drive safely before unplugging it. To do this, swipe down from the top of your screen to see your notifications, find the USB drive notification, and tap "Eject" or "Unmount." You can then safely remove the OTG adapter and USB drive.
