Can anyone help me with booting USB storage?

[Android Central Question]

Hey all,

I bought a Galaxy A52s today, and I used a Kiwibird USB-C stick to mount an SD card, that worked fine. I then unmounted the SD card and mounted an HDD via the USB-A port. That worked fine. I then tried both today, something my Oppo A3S doesn't recognise. It worked fine. I thought great! So I tried it again, and it's not stopped working, it'll only do one at a time. It seems intermittent. Does anyone know what's going on here? Cheers!

Have you tried copying the files from the phone to the SSD or HDD on the PC, and then copying them to the external HDD?

Is there a specific reason why you're skipping the PC? That would probably be a faster and a more reliable way to achieve what you want to accomplish.

I'll leave a link to register, as guests cannot reply. https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=409154&p=3754645&viewfull=1#post3754645
