USB storage

[jedthehumanoid]

Does anyone know how to mount a usb storage device in lollipop and where the directory would be?

When I connect my usb otg device, the light flashes on the device so I know it acknowledges it but then it doesn't seem to mount. When I go to settings/storage the option to mount is at the bottom but when I tap it, it does nothing. Please help, this is really pissing me off.

Look into an application called StickMount, I'm guessing that's what you're missing.

needs root. why would an extra app be necessary anyway?

Believe it or not, Im pretty sure Android M will be the first release with native support for external storage (playing off memory here, so pinch of salt and all that). Until then, workarounds are unfortunately required. I agree with you though, you'd think it'd be plug-and-play.

I don't know if your rom supports USB otg, just try with another USB flash drive...it worked for me. You can find the USB directory in /mnt/usbdisk or /storage/usbdisk or /usbdisk
