USB Drive on Tab S6 Lite #240

I wan to mirror my personal data on a USB Thumb Drive, which is directly connected. In the SMBSync2 App the USB Drive does not appear. In Samsung File Manager it does. I did some research an it seems that my Samsung Tab S6 Lite does not have USB Host Mode. Could that be the problem? Is the any workaround so the drive shows up. I also read about that UUID thing, but how do i find out that ID?

Best regards

Hi,

SMBSync2 requires that the USB OTG drive be mounted in /storage/xxxx-xxxx in order to use the USB OTG drive due to the design of the application. Please check the contents displayed in "Menu->System Info".

You may be able to use the following method, but it is not an official method and there is a risk of data loss, so please make a backup before you try it.

"adb shell sm set-force-adoptabe on" or "adb shell sm set-force-adoptabe true".

Best regards.

Hi,

You need root privileges to execute SM commands in Terminal emulator. Do you have root privileges on your device?

If your device is not rooted, you need to execute SM command from PC.

Install SDK Platform-Tools https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools
Install USB device driver for your device. https://developer.android.com/studio/run/win-usb
Enable USB debug https://developer.android.com/studio/command-line/adb#Enabling

Best regards.
