How the hell do you transfer files on this cell?

Does anyone know how you are supposed to transfer files from microsd storage to otg storage?

I have just spent the last 4hrs failing to do so?

I have given every permission I can think of an I get a picture telling me I have to give further permissions that are not available?

Global 6gb ram an 128g storage. Miui 12.0.4.0.

I have had 4 Xiaomi cellphones an simply transferring files pictures an movies has been a major headache with all of them.

Where am I going wrong?

So edit. The only way to shift files from a microsd card to an otg usb is with a computer.

in my view thats just not good enough. Nubia Huawei an even samsung can all directly transfer from sd card to anywhere you like.

Why are Xiaomi an Poco like this? I think its something they should work on. file transfer is a pretty basic function that miui completely fails on :-/

Found it OK, You will need to use the dropdown menu from the notification panel to copy though.
Tried 3rd party app and kept asking for permission or usb didn't show up in storage list at all.

I tried about 5 3rd party apps. I think it's a Miui weakness. I find the only way to transfer from sd card to otg storage is via computer with cable. Miui has always been like this. I think my next device will be oneplus. Xiaomi/poco are great cells but Miui misses the mark in some basic functionality. Like transferring things an what I call the micro status bar. You need custom roms or to write a code to get status bar to increase. Love Xiaomi but not it's weaknesses

I'm using FTP server and wifi(866mbit).
MTP over Usb 2.0 soooo slow, wifi link faster(transfer speed ob my sandisk extreme- ~50-55 MByte/s).
