How to Connect Pen Drive to Phone: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you tired of transferring files from your phone to your computer just to transfer them to a pen drive? With an OTG adapter, you can connect your pen drive directly to your phone and transfer files quickly and easily. In this guide, we’ll show you how to use an OTG adapter to connect your pen drive to your phone.

Step 1: Get the Right OTG Adapter

When you’re ordering an OTG adapter, make sure you get the right connector for your phone. There are different types of connectors for different phones. If you don’t have a USB with a connector that connects directly to your phone, you’ll need to get an OTG adapter.

Step 2: Connect Your Pen Drive to Your Phone

Connect your pen drive to the OTG adapter, and then insert the adapter into your phone. Your phone should detect the pen drive automatically. If it’s not detected, go to Settings and enable the OTG option. Note that some phones are not compatible with this option.

Step 3: Transfer Files

Once your phone detects the pen drive, go to the file manager application. You’ll see two options: internal storage and USB storage. The USB storage is your pen drive, and the internal storage is your phone’s internal storage. You can transfer files from the pen drive to the internal storage, and vice versa.

To transfer files from the pen drive to the internal storage, open the USB storage option in the file manager, select the files you want to transfer, and press “Copy.” Then, go to the internal storage option in the file manager, find the folder where you want to save the files, and press “Paste.”

That’s it! By following these simple steps, you can quickly and easily transfer files between your phone and your pen drive. No more transferring files to your computer first!
