Will this work via file explorer? For any phone/tablet?

for any phone/tablet, NO. It purely depends on the device actually. OTG (on the go) hardware and drivers should be there in the device for it to access this flash drive or any storage device via the usb port. If it does support, then file explorer will work. To check if your device does support, i think there is an app in android called USB OTG checker or something like that. If the device is not running android and there is no app, buy a cheap OTG cable, plug in your portable hard disk and see if it reads. although, be careful with the OTG cables as they can easily damage the device's usb port. for any phone/tablet, NO.

Install an app named "usb otg checker" to find out if your device contains the hardware & drivers necessary.

I cannot say for all versions of Android or for all of the different file explorers, but I have had no issues with ES File Explorer on the Nexus 5. Works like a charm.

Try other file manager coz sometimes stock file manager does not work with OTG storage devices.. Either you can astro file manager, solid explorer or es file explorer. You may also try root explorer

You don't really need to download an app if you're smart phone has a file manager on it. Once you plug the drive to the phone you will get a pop-up with the files on it. It's already loaded with outo open.

there is an ability to view files over the Internet using an app available on Google Play. However accessing these files is difficult and the interface is clunky. sadly the company is not updated the firmware to improve accessibility nor have they improved the application. The backup software overall was very easy to use

this allows you to bypass the funky "Kies" software on a PC. You can copy the files from your PC to a USB stick, then attach it to the tablet and copy them over to a new folder. It helps to have an extra memory card in the tablet.

It will work with a PC or Mac, you may be able to view files on an iPhone using another app but I've never tried that.

This should do what you want. I use it to transfer different types of files to a micro-sd card for use in a tablet. It is also an inexpensive way to mail documents and videos to other people rather than using writeable cd or dvd media.

Not sure, I've tried it on my Samsung Legend and it doesn't see the connection. If I look on the "My Files" app, it doesn't show up.

First try to download a different file explorer. I use ES file explorer. However I tried using mine on my friends lg optimus and it did not work. It could just be your phone.

Yup. It can do this with no problem at all. I have used this with my Note 2 and my Note 10.1 2014 edition tablet. It was able to transfer files from a SD card to a thumb drive at the same time. I even used it with an old model Motorola Droid phone. It worked just fine

I use a Chrome book so I don't know. But it's easy enough to grab the pics and pdfs from the sd card. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

Nope. Download to a micro sd flash card, then download to your computer with the provided USB adapter.

After I've downloaded I've converted the file to a .csv file and then opened it in Microsoft Excel on my laptop. Can't help you with Google Drive or Android.

I downloaded files to SD card. I know there is option to use USB, but it I never tried it

I'm assuming you meant "in internal memory;" and not some app. If that is the cause; 1.) the easiest method would be to cut and paste the file to the SD card using the file explorer on the tablet. 2.) You could also connect the device to the PC via USB cable and perform the same copy/paste operation using your laptop/desktop's file manager. Please be aware, though, that the KLU does not come with an SD Card, it must be purchased separately.

I have the LG G2 which has 4.2.2. It works fine (per LEEF, it requires 4.1 or higher). I use the ASTRO File Manager (available from Google Play) for moving files around, and it is effortless (albeit a bit time consuming, if you are moving large video files).
