Regarding OTG drives....
-
OK, I am trying out OTG (USB stick) on my OP5T, it is picked up and I cannot access it. It is a SANDISK drive 32Gb formatted FAT32 (on a Windows machine). My question is why doesn't it automount?
I followed this on Stack Exchange which went back to 2015:
"e.g. to mount an USB storage device with an USB-OTG cable: open the terminal and locate the name of the device with the command sudo fdisk -l, create a mount point (the directory where you access the device) with the command sudo mkdir /media/external and mount the device with sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /media/external (if the device was /dev/sda1 and formated with FAT32).
The device can now be accessed with the file-manager. When ready unmount with sudo umount /media/external"
This worked, but I thought there would be an auto mount of external drives/SD cards by now?:astonished_face:

Following your command line I could mount my usb-stick readable successfully; thanks for he advice!
Is it possible in Ubuntu Touch to mount the stick read AND writable? The options mount -w and the option mount -o rw doesnt work...
It would be great to add/ sync/ rename files on the stick.
