OTG management app for mobile
OTG Connector Software for Android: USB Driver is a free utility tool developed by The Card Shop. With it, users will be able to manage the content of the various USB devices that they plug into their mobile devices via the USB on-the-go (OTG) functionality.
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.
