OTG Connector Software for Android: USB Driver serves both as a way to check OTG functionality like
OTG USB
and as a
file manager
, such as
ES File Explorer
. It is able to detect various devices, from USB
flash drives
to
card readers
used for microSD card expansion.
How do I use it?
USB On-The-Go
(USB OTG or simply OTG) is a specification in mobile devices that allow them to
serve as hosts
for various USB devices. Whether plugged directly or through an
OTG adapter cable
, you can attach things like external cameras, peripherals, or storage drives. In the case of the latter, managing their content can be a chore, thus apps like OTG Connector Software for Android: USB Driver were developed.
OTG Connector Software for Android: USB Driver serves two purposes. One, you can use to check that the
USB OTG functionality
is indeed present and supported on your mobile device. And two, it offers its own file manager for browsing the contents of storage like flash drives or microSD card readers. It works as intended, with
copy
,
cut
, and
paste
functions for use with your files.
The user interface is kept clean, simple, and easy to use. Apart from the functions mentioned above, though, there are
no advanced features
included here. As convenient as this app is, most modern file managers today already have
built-in support
for OTG devices in them, making this particular tool somewhat unnecessary for most users. Also, it has very
obtrusive ads
that often get in the way of using it.
A decent, if somewhat redundant, OTG file manager
If you often use the USB OTG functionality to access storage devices often, OTG Connector Software for Android: USB Driver is worth considering and is pretty
straightforward to use
. If you already have a file manager that you prefer using, though, chances are, it already has the feature built-in so you're better off with that instead.
