Android is known for its customization options. While Apple chooses to close down its smartphone in favor of a more cohesive experience, Google goes the other way. This is why you can do things on Android you wouldn’t even dream of doing on an iPhone (Apple fans may disagree).

USB flash drives are the holy grail of portable storage devices, especially for carrying around your music playlist. Here’s how you can directly connect a USB to your phone. Note that you can also connect other USB devices like a mouse or a keyboard in this way.
Requirements
As soon as the connection is initiated, you should get a notification on the Android. You can then use any file explorer to explore your USB device. To disconnect safely, just scroll down the notification shade and tap on “USB mass storage connected”.
I have tried it out with a Nexus 6 and can confirm that it works perfectly. I even tried it with a USB portable mouse that I had lying around and, although it felt a little jarring to be using a mouse with a touch device, it worked great too.
The only downside to using this method is that it will eat up your device’s battery a little more quickly than it normally would. I didn’t see any worrying drop in battery performance since USB devices require very little power but it’s still worth mentioning.
