    Well done and very clear and I have done this with my older firestick with a 3 USB port OTG cable. I use one port for a Device Storage drive and the other for a data storage drive, the third I use for a remote keyboard dongle. This set up worked fine on my older firestick, but it seems to confuse the new 4K Max. Is there any solution or am I stuck with choosing Device or Data? Thanks, and keep up the good information.

    • @CordCuttersLI
      @CordCuttersLI  Год назад

      Hi, Thanks so much for the Sub.
      I don't really see the need for two 2TB drives. The 256GB SanDisk USB drive (link in the description of this video) is more than you'll ever need for Internal Storage for Apps. As for a 2TB drive for External Storage for like DVR functionality I'd stick with Sandisk again, like this one: amzn.to/3YkMMAU
      Lastly, I haven't found a reliable two USB port OTG cable, but if you get the OTG cable and UGreen USB Hub in the description, you'll have more than enough ports. Check it out. Let me know what you think.

      The app will appear in the list of all other apps and will not look any different, so you open them the app same way as all the others. The location of where it is installed, is in the background.

    • @CordCuttersLI
      @CordCuttersLI  Год назад

      Yes. depending on how the USB drive was configured on your First Firestick, it may not be readable on the 2nd.
      The safest thing to do would be to plug your USB drive into a computer if you have one. Copy the Movies and anything else you want from it to your computer.
      The Apps might be a little more complicated since you may not see them on the computer.

    • @CordCuttersLI

      Wow, that is painfully low space. Without knowing more details, I'd suggest some spring cleaning. Get rid if apps you don't use all the time, maybe remove apps on the firestick and get a bigger drive and start over. If you don't have close to 1GB free, you're likely to have issues at some point.

    I watched another video that you had posted about moving your apps on firestick to a thumb drive using x-plore. I did format the 64gb thumb drive on firestick, then opened the x-plore app and moved all applicable apps over. They still all show on the left side of the x-plore app manager, and I did delete all apks on the right side, and now all those show on the external thumb drive.out of 64gb, and show 59.00 of 60.77 still available. However, when an app needs to be updated, and I click update, it states I do not have enough memory. what am i doing wrong?

    • @CordCuttersLI
      @CordCuttersLI  Год назад +1

      Do you have the 4k Max? If so, I'd suggest using the instructions in this video. It's an update to the old video. Also, sorry it I wasn't very clear in that older video, but left and right doesn't necessarily equal internal or external. You can put either storage location on the left or right. Lastly, the firestick interface on the old 4k firestick doesn't show the % available properly. For that you need to use crappy ADB commands. Another reason to get get the 4k Max

      The apps have to support being moved to external USB. If the app doesn't support moving to the USB, it won't. That is one limit. You can add all the extra storage you want, but if the app won't move to it, it won't. I believe you can go into the applications area, to the app, and try to manually move it to USB. But again, only if the app will support it.

    No use of using a usb with fat32 system file as the largest size it can store is 4gb. But a good bluray with dv, hdr, atmos will be a lot bigger than 4gb which u cannot copy on a fat32 usb. Its only good for storing all yr apps on the usb for which only a 16gb or 32gb is more than enuf. Otherwise its useless.

      Hi Paul,
      My video was already longer than I wanted it to be, but I should have mentioned sometimes apps that cannot be "moved" can still be installed on the USB device storage if you uninstall and install again. For example, DistroTV wouldn't let me move it, but when I Uninstaller and reinstalled, it went onto the USB drive. Give it a shot. Let me know how you make out. I don't remember if I mentioned it in the Video, but I also recommend starting from a freshly factory reset Firestick before adding storage. This way, all the apps that CAN be installed on USB will do so.
