USB On-The-Go (USB OTG) is not a new technology. It allows a device to perform both master and slave roles in USB connections. Android fully supports USB OTG since Android Honeycomb 3.1.

Normally USB uses a master/slave architecture.  A host acts as a master device for the connection, the other USB device acts as a slave.

Devices are designed to assume one role only. For example, when you connect an external disk to the PC, the PC is always the host, and the external disk is always the slave.  When you connect two external drives through USB, nothing happens.

For Moto G, like many other phones, when it is connected to PC, it will be acted as a slave and be mounted as a storage device.  You can access the file on the Moto G from your PC.

But what happens if you connect a USB thumb drive to Moto G?

Moto G can mount it as external storage, and you can use it just like you use an external drive on a PC!

Because Moto G supports USB OTG.

Of course, there are some other requirements to make it work.

We will discuss them later.

How Moto G USB OTG can help Moto G owners?

So, basically, Moto G USB OTG makes it possible for you to use external USB devices on Moto G.

Storage is just an example. The miserable storage in Moto G usually is the motivation for some owners to find ways to expand the storage.

You can also hook many other USB accessories, e.g., even a USB keyboard or mouse.

In this guide, we will focus on storage because it is the most wanted Moto G USB OTG usage.

Also, this guide applies to Moto X and many other Android devices, although Moto G is used.

What do you need to use Moto G USB OTG to expand your storage?

To use Moto G USB OTG to expand your storage, you need one of them:

  • a USB OTG adapter (less than $10). One end of the USB OTG adapter connects to USB storage, which can be a normal thumb drive or even a portable hard disk. The other end connects to Moto G directly.
  • or, an USB OTG flash drive (price depending on the capacity. It is slightly more expensive than normal USB thumb drives with similar capacity.). Such drives usually have two USB interfaces. One large female interface allows it to be used as a normal USB thumb drive on PCs and laptops.  The male micro USB interface (OTG micro plug) allows you to insert the drive into Moto G directly.

So, if you want to use your existing thumb drives or portable disk, you can invest a few dollars to get an OTG adapter. The adapter can also be used for other USB devices.

If you are considering getting a new thumb drive, it is time to consider a USB OTG flash drive. It will be slightly more expensive than a normal thumb drive with a similar capacity. But you can use it on both phones and PCs without any adapters.

How to use Moto G USB OTG storage?

Once you connect the USB OTG flash drive, or a normal flash drive through a USB OTG adapter, to Moto G, you can find it in Settings— Storage as shown below.

As shown in the screenshot, the USB OTG storage should be shown under the USB disk.

In this case, 64GB  storage was successfully mounted and is ready for use on Moto G.

moto_g_usb_otg_moto_x_1_storage moto_g_usb_otg_moto_x_2_usb_storage

Once the USB OTG storage is mounted, you can use it just like an SD card. You can copy files from or to it.

Also, all media files in the USB OTG storage will be scanned automatically. So, you can access them directly from most apps.

If you want to play with individual files on the storage, you need a file manager.

In this guide, for example, you want to locate a file and play it.

You can use any file manager app, e.g. ES File explorer.

In ES File explorer app, you need to navigate to the root of the partition by tapping the “/” as shown below.

Now tap storage as shown below.

moto_g_usb_otg_moto_x_3_root_directory moto_g_usb_otg_moto_x_4_storage_folder

In /storage, you can find USB disk folder. This is the USB OTG storage you mounted.

Tap usbdisk as shown below to browse it.

Now, you can find all files and folders on this thumb drive.

You can copy them to internal storage. You can also copy files from internal storage to this folder.

You can also play the music file on this drive directly without copying it to the phone, as shown below.

moto_g_usb_otg_moto_x_5_usb moto_g_usb_otg_moto_x_6_usbdisk

moto_g_usb_otg_moto_x_7_play_from_usbdisk moto_g_usb_otg_moto_x_8_unmount

Important!! You must unmount the USB OTG storage before you remove it from Moot G!

After using USB storage, you should unmount it before unplugging it from Moto G.

To unmount Moto G USB OTG storage, you need to go to Settings—Storage.

As shown earlier, you need to tap Unmount USB On-The-Go storage.

Then, you should get the confirmation page as shown above.:

Unmount USB On-The-Go storage?

If you unmount the USB On-The-Go storage, some apps you are using will stop and may be unavailable until you remount the USB storage.

Tap OK, as shown above, to unmount the storage.

If you unplug the storage without unmounting it, you may damage the thumb drive and lose all data on it.

Can I use USB OTG on Moto E?

No, Moto E does not support USB OTG.

However, Moto E 2nd Gen (Moto E 2015) supports USB OTG.

Can I use USB OTG on Moto X, including Moto X 2nd gen?

Yes, Moto X, Moto X 2nd Gen support USB OTG. You can use USB OTG devices exactly as in Moto G.

Does other phone support USB OTG?

All current Nexus devices, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, Nexus 6, and Nexus 9, support USB OTG.

Most Samsung Galaxy phones (Galaxy S3, Galaxy S4, Galaxy S5, Galaxy S6, Galaxy Note 2, Galaxy Note 3, Galaxy Note 4…)  also support USB OTG.

Some LG and HTC phones also support USB OTG.

Recommendations of USB OTG adapter for Moto G and Moto X

USB OTG adapter usually is not expensive. It should cost you less than $10. You can get it from Amazon or local shops.

But you should try to get a quality one. The poor-quality connector may damage your USB port.

Recommendations of USB OTG flash drive for Moto G and Moto X

Although Moto G and Moto X only support USB 2.0, you should get a USB OTG flash drive that supports USB 3.0. This can save you time when you use the drive on PCs or laptops.  Most new PCs and laptops support USB 3.0.

The quality of the USB OTG flash drive is very important. Don’t save money on unknown brands.

Nobody wants to lose data!

Also, when choosing USB OTG flash drives, do NOT choose the 90-degree design.  The two USB interfaces should align with the main body so that you can connect it to Moto G easily, even if you are using cases.

    Thank you for responding, we did just connect it but sadly the tablet is not recognizing it but it says it is compatible so we were hoping it was just a missing check mark or feature that needed to be turned on 🙁

    I just connected my NEW “OTG 2 in 1 Combo” (Flash Drive-AND-USB Type-C) OTG ADAPTER to my Windows 10, 64 bit PC Laptop, & the other end to my Moto G Stylus phone so I can COPY (ALL) the Image Files FROM my Moto G Stylus Phone TO my laptop via the OTG features.
    HERE is “The ONE & ONLY Problem” I’M having here:
    Suddenly (after only QUICK & Short “appearance”) the OTG Flash Drive NEVER “Shows up AGAIN” as a “DRIVE” mounted on my PC Laptop (OR; as ‘connected to’) my Computer SYSTEM ever again!
    I am wondering: Perhaps ALL DATA (Even though the OTG Flash Drive was brand NEW & Completely EMPTY) was EREASED or suddenly became NULL & VOID (because “MAYBE”, just ‘maybe’) it became “ACCIDENTALLY DISCONNECTED” (without MY knowledge) & hence got treated like I “intentionally” DIS-Connected “Without PROPERLY using” the ‘Safe to Disconnect’ function mode first, BEFORE it became “Disconnected” from the system!!
    I’m aware THIS may well CAUSE the DRIVE (& ALL the ‘Data’ ON the drive to become ‘LOST OR Deleted’ from the Drive, as well as Permanent Damage TO the Drive itself!
    THE “QUESTION?” that I now have is:
    HOW CAN I KNOW FOR SURE Exactly “WHY?” the Flash Drive itself WONT Appear at all ON my screen as even being IN Existance??
    Again, (& FINALLY): Remember in the beginning of This EXTRA-LONG ‘COMMENT’;
    I did say it appeared ONLY ONE TIME, but Very Briefly! Thanks a million!

    I’m having issues with my Moto G Stylus connecting to OTG cables. I’ve tried two so far and they both are yielding the same results. One is a Y splitter type and the other is a USB C type hub. the problem is that it will only either power the phone, or talk to the printer, not both at the same time. any suggestions?

    I just finished a chat session with a live agent with Motorola and was informed that none of their newest (released in 2021 smart phones support usb otg. I would think that their information is the most accurate and up to date.

    My moto 5g plus when connected to hp 1007 wired printer through otg fails to detect printer and search for printer goes on. The otg attachment (&also printer cable) has no problem by itself as it is responsive when connected to a pen drive. Apps hp print service plug in and hp s mart are shown as on in priting service but otg link in settings continues to remain fade when connected to printer via Android

    My MotoG5 supports exfat fully… as long as the internal microSD slot is used. Using an exfat SDcard via an USB adapter results in partial support. TotalCommander can fully navigate it, but for example, if I open a pic with PerfectViewer I can not navigate to the next pic in the folder, no matter how many pics there are. And saved html files can not be opened with Firefox at all (“file not found”) though the same files on the same card work fine if the card is put in the internal slot.
    I suspect this has sth to do with permissions. It does not seem to be possible to give permissions for access to USB drives.

    Hi !

    I have a moto X 2nd gen (on android 6.0), a vention OTG adapter, a kingston mobile lite G4 usb3 SD card reader and a kingston SDHC card.

    I use ES explorer for a while now, the sd card and sd card reader works fine on PC, the otg adapter worked for an external HDD (although the power output wasn’t enough)

    Simple question :

    Why doesn’t it work ?
    I can’t see the damn SD card on my phone…

    Many thanks !

    Recently purchased Moto G4 Plus (on Marshmallow 6). Can mount a usb flash drive and access its files via settings/storage/usb.
    On ES file explorer, first time use, it seeks permission to enable access to usb drive and after that there are no problems.
    My issue though is, prior to M6, I could access all my photos (classified in different folders) on the usb via a gallery app or QickPic app as thumbnails. But now under marshmallow these apps cannot access usb otg. Even the native Photos app cannot access usb drive.
    Is there anyway that I can enable some permission, as in ES file explorer, to access my usb in these gallery apps.

    With the OTG I can avoid the velocity issue that the micro sd have? Because if I expand the storange with a micro sd I need certain requeriments like the read and writing velocity. Also that the biggest micro sd that I can use in the Moto G3 is the 32gb and it need to be sdxc. So if I buy an OTG cable and any USB of 128gb I don’t have to worry about those things?

    I have a Moto X first generation bought in 2014. It has 3G. And I wish to use it for generating the Digital Life Certificate for pension. I have downloaded the application JeevanPramaan for this. Now I have to connect a fingerprint scanner (MFS100 from Mantra). have got it and when connected using USB OTG adapter, it is recognised by the app. But during the process, the scan is to be done, and for this the light in the scanner should be on. However, this does not happen. So scanning of fingerprint is not done. Could you explain why and what should be done to solve the issue. I think that the scanner is not getting the power needed through the USB OTG. If so, what is the solution?

    You show the screenshots of the Lollipop OS, but this upgrade does not allow use of OTG storage on Moto G. Out of the box for first generation allowed use of the OTG storage. After system upgrades, this is greyed out. Did you only upgrade the screenshots here and not your information, or have I missed something? Please tell me, as I would really like this feature restored.

    Hi Simon,

    Thanks for a separate guide for OTG which I was expecting for. I have a query regarding the OTG. Please let me know whether you too have faced the same problem.

    If I Unmount the OTG (Sandisk ultra dual 16GB) from mobile, it disables the application stored in SD card. It works only if I power off and power on the mobile or unmount and mount the SD card.
    Please suggest..

    SD card apps works fine untill the OTG is connected in mobile. The problem is only after unmounting the OTG. I think while unmounting the OTG, the mobile is unmounting SD card as well. Not sure about it.
