I have searched all over the outside of this tablet to find the microsd card slot.
Do I have to open it up to get to it?
250 GB version does not have microSD slot.
oh no that's some bad news, thanks for the information zando2712
Your storage expansion possibilities are endless with your new device.
There is the USB 3G port to the back and the micro USB host port where a host cable can be connected.
Both of these ports will work with a microSD adapter.
The rear port outputs enough power to work with external drives.
I'm assuming that you wanted a microSD slot to quickly transfer files to your tablet?
Just use an adapter if that's the case.
Is webtop capable of recognizing various USB devices as external storage? I would like to use it on a trip to download photos off my digital camera, but right now it does not seem to recognize the camera when I plug in the usb cord to the back of the lapdock. Same for my USB thumb drive and my 500gb external drive.
This was one of the main reasons for getting the lapdock up and running by this weekend, so I am hoping either I am doing something wrong or there is a workaround to get it to recognize my camera so I can download the photos to my phones 32gb SD card and/or a thumb drive.
Thanks
EDIT: It will pick it up if I use a USB to SD card reader, and reads the card instantly (Formatted FAT) but when in the camera and plugged in via USB to micro USB straight to the camera, it says it only supports USB storage, mice, and keyboard...any work around for making it think my "camera" is a "usb storage" (which it essentially is right?)
Ill try a usb card reader tomorrow. I havent done more then a mouse.
I have a similar goal of running usb to serial port if I can

I am trying to get my 101 G9 (8 gig classic) running ICS Stock to recognise a USB thumb drive or a usb card reader. I've tried the USB cable to the micro USB port and the 3g USB port on the back but to no avail. I've see various threads that say that others have gotten it to work, but I can't figure out how.
Is it possible to use a thumb drive on the 101?

yes stick it in the 3g port and turn 3g on in the settings, then browse with a file browser
I've tried that. Turn on 3g stick. wait a few minutes. plug in thumb drive. Not recognised. I've tried this with mine and a brand new (on HC) that belongs to a friend.

try putting in the thumb drive then turning it on
I've had a similar problem like this as well. looking through the logs it looks like the USB bus does goto sleep to conserve power and does not seem to wake up properly in my opinion.
What I've done to 'wake' it up before does require that you have rooted your device.
1) Open up Terminal Emulator or your choice of terminal.
2) Naviagate to /dev/bus/usb/001 (ie: type: cd /dev/bus/usb/001 )
3) type: cat 001
A few lines of garbage might show up but for me it has woke up the USB bus and read the usb drive I had inserted then I can unmount it normally through android.
Thanks to all the offers of information.
I'll give them a try.
hi!
I use usb adapter for sd card which in turn is inserted into USB OTG adapter. It gives me hot swap for sd card by the way. Try this approch in your case.
Hi,
I'm looking to get either the Tab or Note 10.1, but need to know whether its possible to transfer images from the micro SD card to an external USb powered HDD. I know I can get hold of a micro usb male/ mini usb male adapter to link the Tab/Note to the HDD, but don't know if the Tab/Note will power the drive, or if it's possible to transfer pics in this way.
I'm planning a roadtrip in the USA later this year and would not have regular access to wifi to upload images to 'dropbox' etc so would rather back them up to a HDD.
I know there are several similar postings, but no suitable/applicable answers.
Suggestions/answers ?
Cheers

The Tab 10.1 doesn't have a micro SD card slot - the Tab 2 does. On the Tab 10.1 there's a chunk of the internal memory mounted as /sdcard that you can store your photos on.
As far as moving files to an external drive goes, you can do that with most file managers so that's no problem.
One issue you may have is that the external drive will need to be formatted as FAT 32, not NTFS. That means that you can't copy files larger than 4GB to the external drive. That's probably not going to be a problem for you if you're moving images (not movies).
To connect the drive, you'll need an OTG cable, which are fairly inexpensive. However, there's no guarantee that the tablet will be able to power the drive. External thumb drives work fine for me. I haven't tried any portable hard drives, but as long as the current demand is fairly low it may work. Some people have had success with portable drives, so it's worth giving it a try, especially if you're talking about a notebook size drive as those tend to be less power hungry.
I have successfully mounted an external HDD via a externally powered USB-Hub. The FAT32 partition can be mounted without additional software, the NTFS partition can be mounted with the free app "NTFS mount". USB-Sticks will be powered by the tablet without problem. The problem is, that the combined card reader / USB adaptor can only be used with one function at a time. So I had to copy the SD-card to the internal storage of the tab and then move it from there to the external HDD.
You might want to think about buying an Intenso Memory 2 Move HDD. It's an external 2.5" HDD with a battery (6 hours) and a wifi hotspot. You can access the drive via wifi, ethernet RJ45 and USB 3.0. Works like a charm with Android.

Sorry, it was the Tab 2 (10.1 screen, stylus thing etc) I was meaning but couldn't find a heading for it. Is it likely to power an external 2.5 drive ?
Most certainly it will not power HDD. The easiest solution is an external miniature USB hub with power supply.

I would like to mention that HDD must be partitioned as GPT to work otherwise it shows as corrupt.

Hi
I want to get my 6T to read SD Cards from a trail cam. I purchased one from UGreen and it has almost no instructions. I can't get it to work. I did put the phone in OTG mode. I had to use an adapter from Micro USB to USB Type C. There is no indication that it is connecting. Any ideas?
If anyone has been able to do this on the 6T, even if it means buying a new adapter, let me know how.
Thanks
John
Do you have OTG storage enabled in system settings?
"OTG storage" is enabled. Are there any other OTG settings that also need to be set?
You need an OTG cable. That should work since that's how I transferred all of my photos from my micro SD card (in a card reader) to my 6T. I doubt directly plugging the card reader via adapter would work.
1. Buy a OTG microSDHC card reader.
2.Check the tipe of the files on card.
The unit is OTG but it has an micro USB fitting and I am using a micro USB to USB Type C adapter. Could that be the problem? I don't see how, the adapter should be straight through. I don't think it is a file issue, the 6T does not even see card. I might just try another reader.
use the app WiFi explorer, and you can transfer anything and everything wirelessly, via wifi..those files on your sd card need to be on another computer or somewhere they can be "seen"..
This one has been working great for me. I've used an older otg micro to A adapter with no problems before though. Could just be a faulty adapter on your end.
Yaotl, I can't figure out anything else but the reader. I think I will give the Anker reader you suggested a try.
Thanks for the help,
John
I purchased another reader. Works perfectly. Thanks for all the help. Especially, Yaotl.
