Hello guys I just bought an USB stick and I'm connecting it on my Nexus 5 and it doesn't recognize it is there any application I have to download or I have to make some changes in settings I have to say that I tried to recognize it with ES File Explorer( also this USB is 2. 0)

Maybe the stick is formatted in a way that the Nexus can't read it?

Didn't think of that...

If it's FAT32 (or xFAT if it's large enough), and you're using an OTG cable, search stick mount in Play Store and try one of the free ones that don't require root (unless your phone is rooted, then use Chainfire's). Or see How to Use USB on the Go (USB OTG) In Any Nexus Without Rooting Android Gadget Hacks

The Nexus 5 supports OTG, but it doesn't natively support external drives on OTG.
