About this app

Developer Description

USB Storage Access for Photos, Videos, Music and Documents

USB Media Explorer (UME), formerly known as Nexus Media Importer, allows you view photos (Jpeg and Raw), stream videos¹, listen to music, and view documents from USB storage devices and cameras. Specialized screens for photos, videos, music, documents and file management. Copy files to and from the USB device. View full size photos and videos without importing!

Supported Devices:
- Flash/Pen Drives
- Card Readers
- Hard Drives²
- Cameras³
- Other Android devices⁴
- MTP/UMS audio players⁵
- Some DVD drives⁶

Additional Hardware Requirements:
- Connecting most devices will require a microUSB OTG cable or USB C to USB adapter. These are available from most major retail websites.

Notes:
1. Video and audio formats not natively supported by Android (AVI, Dolby, DTS, WMV) may require a third party player like VLC.
2. Hard drives require considerable power and may require an external power source, like a powered USB hub.
3. Only cameras with storage are supported. Live image devices like endoscopes and webcams are not supported.
4. To access another Android device, put the target device in MTP/File Transfer Mode.
5. Most “i” devices use a proprietary protocol. These are NOT supported.
6. Only DVD drives that support AV Connect mode or similar are supported. See your DVD drive manual. Commercial DVDs are not supported.

Support:
- If you have an issue, you can tap "Homesoft" from the About screen for email support. I read and reply to reviews, but due to their one way nature, it’s difficult to resolve issues. If you have a support request, please include the Android device you are using, the USB device you are trying to use and a description of the problem.

For years, I suffered with the atrocious, unreliable, buggy POS Fuji App for camera file transfers to my phone on the go. Then I bought an OTG Card Reader only to find out that Android 12 / Pixel 6 Pro DO NOT support exFAT format SD cards which all of my cameras use by default in camera formating (yes, you could use FAT32 but that's an extra hassle). Eventually I found this little gem. It's perfect, finally I can transfer my camera files regardless of the SD card format. Much love to the devs.

I do use it quite frequently to store my media on my phone. Especially now that most modern phone don't support microsd, it's a great tool to have to back up and store on the go. One thing it's lacking is a good media support and maybe a support for comic books format .cbz? You can play MP4 but that's about it you need to use VLC to open MKV or other software that you have installed. That'll be nice

Updated, the develop seems to be planning to resolve some of the issues mentioned in my previous review. However, I should not have relied on this app for important work-related files or use it with large quantities of files, due to the lack of separation of Favorites into a new folder, and the glitchiness of the app in general. Created much more work for me when I purchased it to make life easier...

So I got the app for the purpose of being able to export to an exFAT drive from my pixel 6 pro (I saw it was a solution to no exFAT support on Reddit). The purpose of having an exFAT drive was to not have a file size limit. Well I come to find that I can't even transfer a 19 minute video because it exceeded the system max file size. The app is useless otherwise because transferring smaller videos doesn't require anything special and you don't need a third party to do it.
