Is it possible assign a drive letter to the Xperia S?
Cause as it is at the moment, I can't use SyncToy to put up a folder sync because the Xperia is listed as a seperate device instead of mass storage with a drive letter.
Yes, use the MSC Mounter app from the dev section.
Find MSC app HERE !
By the way, Root required.
Hi,
If this has been asked before i apologies but i've searched, used google, and never really found the answer i'm looking for.
I have a nexus 7, OTG cable, flash drive and stickmount installed. As an external storage device this works fine for movies, audio etc.
I'm not experienced with android having only previously used it on my touchpad, and wondered if the following was possible.
Is there an app that can essentially clone the externally mounted USB drive so that when installing an app with a large data download i can choose to download the data to the externally mounted usb drive instead of the main device memory. An example, Spiderman has nearly 2GB of data and i would prefer to move it using an app rather than having to continuously move the data file from the root to the external USB using es file explorer.
Many thanks for the help

Hard Link feature of ext4 partition can help you.
I haven't been able to properly manage my Android phone ever since the move to MTP. I am currently out of space on my SGS3 and can't figure out what is eating up the space. On a normal directory in Windows I would use a utility like WinDirStat, but to my knowledge you can't use any such utilities on an MTP device.
How can I tell where the space is being used?
Is it possible to add an SD card to the "MTP pool"?
Thanks guy,
Tynen
I know it's an old thread, but I have this exact same problem so I'm bumping to see if anybody has any answer
You can do this using a file explorer app directly on the device. There are hidden folders (starts with a dot) which don't show up with MTP (I think they don't, not sure). These might be taking space. You can view them with a file explorer app. Also, if you have a custom recovery, you can mount the SD card as USB Mass Storage on your computer.

Hi; I flashed CM10.1 04.06 ROM, and I found OTG doesn't work on it.
I have a OTG cable, a flash disk with FAT32 and I looked for the files in it with file explorer app.
Is there something I missed?

Hi,
I have no problem using OTG for both wireless mouse and a flash drive with FAT32.
It seems, that something might be changed in a futur release: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=43368051&postcount=394

I just installed "OTG Helper" but I didn't see any help at first.
So I opened file explorer I found in "/storage" there is a new folder named "drive1".
It is my flash disk. What happened? Because of the helper??
