I don't think that you can, unless you root . You have to use mtp or ptp.

What are you trying to do? You can connect a USB storage device via an OTG cable and access with apps like ES File Explorer. You can have a problem if the storage device draws a lot of power over the USB but I can connect a 1TB portable HD and access it.

Yea me too, I can hook my 1TB HDD up with a OTG adapter with no issues, it has its own power source though.

My phone is rooted. So, how do I enable USB Mass Storage on my Note 4 running on Lollipop?

There is nothing to enable... there is no button. Like the posters said above, all they did is connect a usb storage device to the phone using an OTG cable. The phone will pick up the device in My Files as a USB Mass storage device.
