what have you tried?
Only certain things can be connected.
If it is a memory stick, just connect it and it should show up in Myfiles as USB storage.

its working on galaxy note Indian version. just get a OTG usb cable from ebay.in and it will work for sure. i also got one from thr and it worked very very well. Cost is around 250-300 rs only. dont get cheap ones. search for galaxy note in search option and then go in accessories.

Format your pen drive to Fat 32. It might not work if it's NTFS.

In my case, you must connect the pendrive to the otg cable before connecting it to the phone else it wont work.
