Plan:
Minimalist data redundancy while photo-backpacking-airbnb-ing in Iceland and Scotland later this Summer. Plainly putting maximum effort into NOT having to take my 2010 15" MBP for backing up DLSR & HTC10 Stills and Footage. Shoot>Backup from Card Reader to internal 128GB Internal card via OTG>Export via OTG Cable to 1TB external and to Google Drive if/when WiFi available.
Gear:
*HTC10 (duh, ahhhmazeb***s so far after only a few weeks! RIP to my M7)
*Type C Adapter, RAVPower USB C To A Female OTG Cable, USB-C On The Go Convertor for New MacBook and Other Devices with Type C USB
*Lexar Professional 1800x microSDXC 128GB UHS-II W/USB 3.0 Reader Flash Memory Card - LSDMI128CRBNA1800R
*Transcend StoreJet 1 TB Military Drop Tested USB 3.0 External Hard Drive (TS1TSJ25M3)
*Nikon D4, Tammy 15-30, & 70-200
Troubleshooting So Far:
* Formatted Lexar as Internal, no problem...though since I have 8GB of space left on the built-in, it's only theoretical space at this point. (Maybe don't format as Internal?!!?)
* Shot test images with DSLR and was able to import from XQD and CF card readers to the internal SD/'0'/'Downloads' folder via OTG. I am now stuck trying to get the images off. Many of the RAW (.nef) files appear corrupted by the NEF Thumbnailer App. Of the few that I tried to transfer I could not see the external drive. It shows up at 1TB of usable storage after the 'Unrecognized please format device" error, even though it's formatted FAT32, ExFAT wouldn't work, or vice versa, I forget which.
* My go-to Astro File Manager (free version) doesn't see the external either. (Though I didn't try to 'Add Location' yet. Do I have the drive on me now...no. Bah. )
* Lightroom Mobile will not recognize it either and/or Edit .nef files...but it edits the HTC10's DNG files flawlessly which I LOVE! Would love to be able to edit my .nef's on the go, but that's a gripe with Adobe, not Android. Again cannot export to the 1TB External, that's the rub.
* For giggles I connected a Mouse and it actually worked on the OTG cable and the handful of fellow IT cohorts had some Friday-afternoon-geek-out giddiness last week. :highfive:
Thoughts based on limited Googling:
* It's a hardware based issue - The OTG cable I bought for $10 is crap and only partially works.
* It's a USB 3.0 vs. 2.x issue (supposedly this was possible on non-rooted Galaxy phones with a USB 2.x OTG Cable using The Thumbnailer App based on a post I found from a photographer back in 2013-ish.)
* It's a software issue and I need to root, which I've never been fond of.
* My other slightly unrelated concern is that my DNG's are not syncing to Google Drive. JPG's are there. Google Drive allows for DNG's supposedly?!?!
Thanks in advance for all that you do....stay awesome! :cool:
