How To Transfer Photos From Android 14 Phone To USB Drive (100% Method)
2Method 1: Direct Transfer Using a USB OTG Adapter (No Computer Needed)
This method connects a USB drive directly to your Android 14 phone using a USB On-The-Go (OTG) adapter, ideal for quick transfers without a computer.
Check Compatibility:
Verify your Android 14 phone supports USB OTG (most modern devices, e.g., Samsung Galaxy S23/S24, Honor Magic 6, Google Pixel 8, do). Check specs or test with an OTG adapter.
Use a USB drive (USB-A or USB-C) and a compatible OTG adapter:
For USB-A drives: Get a USB-C to USB-A OTG adapter (Android 14 devices typically use USB-C).
For USB-C drives: Many Android 14 phones connect directly, but an OTG adapter may still be needed.
Connect the USB Drive:
Plug the USB drive into the OTG adapter, then connect the adapter to your phone’s USB-C port.
Unlock your phone. Swipe down to the Notification Panel to check for a USB notification (e.g., “USB storage detected” or “Charging this device via USB”).
Tap the notification and select File Transfer or Use USB for File Transfer (Android 14 streamlines this process).
Access Photos on Android 14:
Open the Files app (pre-installed on stock Android 14, e.g., Google Pixel), My Files (Samsung), or File Manager (Honor/Huawei, often called “Files” on HarmonyOS). Alternatively, download Google Files from the Google Play Store (or Huawei AppGallery for Honor HarmonyOS devices).
Navigate to Internal Storage or SD Card (if applicable):
Camera photos are typically in DCIM -Camera.
Screenshots are in Pictures - Screenshots.
Other photos may be in Downloads, Pictures, or app-specific folders (e.g., WhatsApp, Telegram).
Transfer to USB Drive:
Select photos (long-press to select multiple files or tap the three-dot menu - Select All).
Tap Move (to delete from phone) or Copy (to keep on phone).
Navigate to the USB drive (listed as “USB Storage,” “USB Drive,” or by brand name in the file manager).
Choose or create a folder (e.g., “Android Photos”), then tap Paste or OK.
Wait for the transfer to complete (speed depends on file size and USB drive; USB 3.0/3.1 is faster).
