Can Onn streaming box give writable access to a flash drive?

by TheRealJFranco

I’ve formatted the stick to ntfs, which works fine on the box and comes up as readable. I tried moving my kodi over to the flash drive , but there aren’t any options for it. Also, tried moving my files in my kodi library to the stick and everything fails. Is there any way to make my flash drive writable on the box or is my only option to do it on a pc. I specifically use kodi for reasons, and I Don’t want to download shows and movies to my flash drive because I like when they update automatically in my kodi library without me downloading anything. All I want is for kodi (or the movie/tv paths)to be moved to the flash drive because they took up pretty much all the space on the box and I kept getting Low storage . I really don’t want to use my laptop or anything else.

Don't use NTFS. Fat32 probably works.

The Onn doesn't support a drive being formatted as device storage which is the only way you can move an app to it. So the ONN is not really the device to run any serious Kodi install.

I don't think the onn works with apps on the drive. But you can save other stuff to it. I know you can store roms on it for running emulators

As far as I understand, Android TV no longer allow apps write access to folders on external storage that do not belong to that app.

I ended up setting up a NAS drive.

Fat32 has a file size limit of 4 GB. exFAT should work fine unless you did something wrong. don't forget file explorer apps need storage permission

Didn't know if you were still looking for a solution on this, but troypoint just posted a video on making this work
