Amazon released two new Fire Sticks for 2020, the Fire TV Stick 3rd Gen & the Fire TV Stick Lite. Both come with OS 7 (Android 9) which gives you the ability to use an external USB drive as internal storage. In this video I will show you what you need so you can add more storage to your Fire TV Stick 3rd Gen & Lite. This will also work for the Fire TV Cube 1st & 2nd Gen.
If you would like to purchase the OTG cable and/or the USB Drive please visit my Amazon Affiliate store.

Does this speed up the firestick in general? And would it help with iptv apps to run smoother etc? As they don't have much ram on these sticks.

@DJsTutorials 3 года назад

In general yes. By having more free internal space the Fire TV Stick will run better but with that said, you still need to do some basic maintenance like restarting the Fire Stick every so often, stopping background apps, & clearing the cache. IPTV apps I would recommend keeping in the internal storage and not on the external storage. Internal storage is much faster than external.

Congratulations for the videos that I follow even if my language is Italian. I have a NON 4k and NOT Lite Fire TV Stick, so I would call it standard. I put the connector to mount a USB and I see the pen. I formatted it as internal storage, but if I download an app, it is stored on main storage, not USB. I also tried to see on some apps already installed, but I don't see the option to move from internal to USB. Does this possibility exist only for 4K or also for the lower ones? What features do apps need to have in order to be moved to USB? Thanks for the replies.

@DJsTutorials 2 года назад

Ciao Marco. Per prima cosa voglio dire grazie per aver seguito il mio canale, lo apprezzo molto! Sembra che tu abbia la Fire Stick di 3a generazione che ha Fire OS 7 che è necessario per aggiungere memoria esterna. Ora, quando si tratta di app che installi, non tutte le app saranno in grado di installarle su uno spazio di archiviazione condiviso interno perché è così che lo sviluppatore dell'app l'ha impostata. Inoltre, alcune app non devono essere installate nella memoria condivisa interna perché non funzioneranno correttamente. Detto questo, c'è un modo per spostare alcune app che hai scaricato dall'app store di Amazon nella memoria condivisa interna anche se non vedi l'opzione per passare a USB nei dettagli dell'app. Se vuoi vedere come farlo, guarda questo video a partire dalle 9:54. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nm_H1TjU0jU.html

@@DJsTutorials Ti ringrazio infinitamente per la risposta immediata e professionale e per avermi risposto in italiano. Grazie ancora. Un'latra domanda, se posso chiedere. L'unità formattata come interna non è visibile da un collegamento ftp ? Ho provato con una unità esterna e la vedevo nell'ftp per passarci files dal pc, ma quando ho formattato come interna, non la vedoi più. Oppure è una cartella specifica ? Grazie.

@DJsTutorials 2 года назад

@@Mabasoft Prego! Faccio del mio meglio per aiutare tutti il più possibile e renderlo il più semplice possibile. L'unità interna non verrà visualizzata in un file manager o ftp. A seconda di cosa vuoi fare, dato che stai cercando di vedere l'unità USB interna, potresti voler guardare quel video che ti ho inviato nel messaggio precedente. Ti mostra come utilizzare l'unità interna e allo stesso tempo collegare un'altra o due unità, che puoi utilizzare per l'archiviazione esterna, o se hai film, programmi TV o musica lì, come accedere a quei file. Se avete domande, sentitevi liberi di chiedermelo.

I have been using a Firestick 4k for a couple of years and finally got frustrated with the amount of buffering so I have been attempting to use a 64 gig Scandisk flash drive to use as external storage so I can download the Movie and then play from the scandisk then delete the media. I have watched numerous Videos describing the procedure but never had any success using ES file exployer or x-plore to create a file folder to download. I have tried to format with win 10 fat32 format, exfat33 and a third party format but same problem, I can see the drive on file manager but creating a new file folder always fails even following the the instructions to the letter. my hook up using OTG Cable seems to be ok since I can see the drive, What am I missing???.

@DJsTutorials 3 года назад

The Fire TV Stick 4K does not support this method yet. Once the OS gets updated to OS7 then you can use these steps in my video. In the meantime, if you are willing to try Remote ADB Shell check TechDoctorUK channel. He has a few step by step videos for Remote ADB Shell for the 4K Stick.

@DJsTutorials 2 года назад

You can connect a USB drive as "External Storage" and then in the TiviMate settings go to recordings and choose the external drive.

@dnshkumaar 3 года назад

But doesn't run 4k high bitrate contents via drive. Instead using Plex which runs smoother.

@DJsTutorials 3 года назад

Not to many people play 4K bit rate using an external drive. Most need more storage for their apps or if they want to record to it. But I do agree with using Plex for 4K content. I sure do. Thank you for sharing.

Not all apps are able to be transferred to the USB drive. Also some will not work as good as if they were installed on the devices internal drive. Keep that in mind. You can also use Apps2Fire app to sideload your apps from your phone.

Great video. I have a newer firestick (2nd Gen released in Sept 2020). I also bought an ethernet adapter from Amazon so I have a wired connection to firestick. Everything works well. I then decided to add an external drive and here is my dilemma. I purchased the following: * OTG cable * 32 GB Sandisk USB drive Connection : Power from the wall goes to the ethernet adapter The ethernet cable from my router goes to the ethernet adapter The other side of the adapter wire goes to the OTG cable The other side of OTG cable goes into the Firestick The USB drive goes into OTG The Firestick is plugged into TV I restarted my Firestick but it says no internet connection to firestick. I went to my fire TV in options, and I can see the external drive there 32 GB but no internet connection. I checked the network and my wired ethernet connection was no longer there. To troubleshoot, I removed the OTG cable and the internet came back and the firestick works fine and I checked the network, and it says the ethernet connection is connected again. Shortly after, I tried reconnecting OTG and the same thing occurred, I can see the external drive but no internet connection. I left everything connected as is and went to network and added my Wi-Fi and it worked. Do you have any recommendations on why this is happening? I can't connect through the Ethernet adapter using the OTG ...... I bought the adapter so I can get a hardwire connection from the router to Firestick ...... not sure what to do. I even turned off ADB Debugging just in case. I tried unplugging everything and reconnecting and the same scenario as above.

@DJsTutorials 3 года назад

I did recreate your setup and did confirm that it will not work. I also tried connecting Power > OTG > Ethernet Adapter > Fire Stick and the adapter will work but not the USB drive. That problem is the Ethernet adapter. It will not work with the OTG. You will need to get a USB Hub with a built-in Ethernet adapter. Then you can connect it to the OTG USB port, and the USB Drive and Ethernet cable can connect thru the USB Hub. I used a UGREEN USB 3.0 Hub with Ethernet Adapter 10/100/1000 and it works fine. Also have a Wireless keyboard connected to it also.

No problem. I like trying to duplicate a problem and see if I can figure it out before I give anyone an answer. I do have it in my Amazon Affiliate store under Streaming Devices & Accessories. The link to my store is in the video description if you want to use it or if you do a search on Amazon for "UGREEN USB 3.0 hub ethernet adapter" you will find it in there also. It should be the 3rd item in the search results. It is a Black Color Hub & has 3 USB 3.0 Ports and 1 Ethernet port. The cost is $21.99 Now if you do use my Amazon Store link, I do make a small commission off of the purchase but for you the price will be the same. Just being straight with you.
