How Do I Connect a USB Drive to My Fire Stick?

This accessory is essentially a Micro USB cable with a USB port in the middle and allows for the connection of a USB drive without interrupting the Fire Stick’s power supply. Here’s how to use this adapter cable to plug a USB drive into your Fire Stick. Once it’s finished, select OK. Select Show USB Only to view apps that are installed locally on your Fire Stick and begin transferring some to your USB drive. All Fire TV Cube models feature full USB support as do Fire TV Stick models released in 2000 and after. This means while the Fire TV Stick Lite, Fire TV Stick 3, and Fire TV Stick 4K Max fully support USB functionality for transferring apps and video games, the regular Fire TV Stick 4K and the first two versions of the original Fire TV Stick don’t. Fire Stick models that don’t fully support USB for app transfers can still be used to view images and movies stored on a connected USB drive. To do this, connect the USB drive to the Fire Stick following the above steps and then open a file browser app such as S-plore File Manager to access the contents of the connected storage device.
