All Android smartphone usually have a port that serves for both charging and file transfer. Whether it is a MicroUSB port or the more recent USB Type-C port, you can always transfer files from your USB flash to Android phone easily without any hassle using this interface. There are two ways to go about this depending on the USB flash you’re using.

The first way to go about things will be to get an OTG (On The Go) cable which has a female USB port at one end and a MicroUSB or USB Type-C connector at another end. This way, you can easily plug your USB flash into the OTG adapter and then insert it into the USB Type-C or MicroUSB end to your phone.
