https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...importer&hl=en
You may not know this but google handed out
7000 nexus 7 tablets for FREE to App developers to help boost development of more Apps for android ,and it's paying off already.
The developer has been working night and day to improve this App even more and it now supports NTFS -formatted memory cards and PORTABLE HARD DRIVES
It can also display Folders on your storage device which is another big improvement,as fell as play VOB files(files u find on DVD )This App also has another feather in it's cap as it can be also used with mobile phones and tablets that have Android 3.2+ . Examples -include Galaxy Nexus,Motorola Xoom so they can expand there storage just like the nexus 7.
I personally tested this NEW version out by connecting my SAMSUNG 500GB external HD to my Nexus 7 which is formatted in NTFS and it works great.
Nexus Media Importer allows you to import and stream music, video, photos and documents from a USB flash drive or SD card connected to your Nexus 7, Galaxy Nexus, or other Android 3.2+ devices with USB Host support. This is the only non-root solution for devices that do not provide native support for external flash storage. Requires the following hardware:
1) An Android 3.2+ device. Examples include Google Nexus devices or the Motorola Xoom.
2) A USB OTG (On-The-Go) cable. Cost approximately $1 USD on Amazon), see screenshots for examples.
3) A USB Flash Drive or USB SD Card Reader and SD Card, see screen shots for examples.
To use:
-If you are using an SD card reader, put the card in the reader first.
-Attach the OTG cable to the Nexus or other device.
-Attach your USB device to the OTG cable.
-The application will launch automatically.
-Select the file. The selected file's path appears in the preview window (currently only photos show preview).
-Click the play icon to stream or the save (disk) icon
-If save is successful, you can click the download notification to view it or see it in the Downloads app.
Technical Notes:
-DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT!
-The USB drive/flash card must be formatted as FAT16, FAT32 or NTFS (currently no exFAT or extN support). FAT & NTFS are the most common formats for SD and USB Drives.
-Read Only. You can not write to the attached device, only copy to the Android device.
-This a media streamer and file copy utility. It requires third party software to view multimedia content and read documents. Many formats are supported directly by Android, but other are not. In particular, "MKV", "AVI" and most doc. types require additional software. There are many excellent free and paid apps. in the Play market. For example:
