• Buy a USB on the go adapter.
• Plug a USB thumbdrive or other USB based external storage device into said adapter.
• Plug said adapter into BlackBerry 10 smartphone
• Browse to file manager, look for SD Card showing in menu.
• Access files, profit.

Or just watch this video..

I wish I could find a micro usb to female usb that didnt get in the way of the hdmi port. I wanna get a BB desktop setup going.

Landscape Mode for 10.3

My USB is hook to this otg adapter but the phone is not detecting anything, so there is no settings I have to enable? Hmm maybe I should try with a different otg adapter

Darn, I just ordered an adapter that looks just like that. Fingers crossed that it works.

The other adapter that I have seen available is an angled one, which blocks the hdmi port, which may or may not be an issue, depending on your intended use.

Btw, very hard to find these cables locally (in Montreal, in any case), but easy to find online. The Crackberry shop should definitely add them to its offerings.

Getting my Z30 next Thursday. Once I do I'm going going to be doing some SERIOUS "Mobile Computing" with work. Accessing service manuals on a thumb drive and loading firmware onto an SD card. Among a lot of other things! No longer requiring my Laptop.

Win, win, win!

Here is one that is really cheap and not on an angle which I prefer, do you guys think this would work?

might just get it and see how it goes and report back

Should work be fine! If you're good with a soldering iron you could make your own too!

Just so happened to get this one with a android pc stick, works fine. . (although perhaps BlackBerry should have included one)


Z30, and yes, it's a bit on the heavy side...

[IrishCoffee62]

Anyone can tell me where to get this thing? Thanks!

[croman]

I bought a Samsung branded one at Staples for $17. Love it.

Does that not get in the way of the HDMI port?

I picked up at HipStreet Usb on the go adapter that's labeled for Samsung's. Works great but it covers the hdmi hole. Got it at Staples. It has inputs for Usb, mini Usb, SD and micro SD.

Via my z30

I picked up a hipstreet adapter too and like it.

Have any of you been able to get an external hard drive to work? I am using a powered drive and a powered usb hub, but no luck.

Are there certain specs that might be required for the drive to work? In searching on Google, Android users talked about ntfs support, and needing an app for that. Wonder if BlackBerry took that into account already or not...

It supports only fat32 and in 10.2.1 it also supports exFat

Mine detected straight away. Would not detect a us hub though

Is anything plugged into the adapter? It won't detect just the adapter, something needs to be plugged into the adapter as far as I know

Posted via CB10

[MusicMtl]

It doesn't actually see the hub, but will see the peripherals plugged into it.

FAT32... Ok, time to reformat a drive! Thanks for the info. Cb community is the best!

I got this one from NCIX.com for $8 and it works great.
