Re: Copying RAW/JPEGs from Fuji X cameras to Galaxy Tab S or Note 4 Answer

I bought three devices from B&H Photo. and can now copy RAW and JPEG files from my Fuji X-E2 to my Galaxy Note 4 or Galaxy Tab S or transfer the files between storage devices easily. My Galaxy Note 4 is on Android Version 5.1.1 and my Galaxy Tab is on Android Version 5.0.2.

  1. Samsung USB Adapter (11 Pin) White: This is Samsung's OTG connector. I connected the X-E2 to both Samsung Devices. The Gallery App opened and all JPEGs in the camera were shown. They had to be selected and imported.
  2. Samsung USB 3.0 128GB Duo Flash Drive. This is a 128GB jump drive that has a MicroUSB connector at one end and a USB 3.0/2.0 at the other end. It comes with a cover for the MicroUSB connector. When plugged into either Android device, the MyFiles file manager opens and the jump drive is listed as USB Storage A. Any files can be copied, moved, or deleted between the jump drive and either Android device. Also connected the jump drive to one of the USB ports on my iMac and it appears on the desktop as another external drive. This flash drive is about two-thirds the length of my pinky so, I am concerned about losing it.
  3. Bidul 4IN1 Connection Kit for Samsung Galaxy. This little device has a MicroUSB connector to connect to a Galaxy smartphone or tablet. On the other side it has an SD card reader, MicroSD card reader, USB 3.0/2.0 port, and a microUSB port. I tested it on the Note 4 and Tab S using both card readers and also put the MicroSD card in the SD adapter it came with and tested that scenario also. I also verified that USB 3.0/2.0 port, basically an OTG connection, and the MicroUSB ports work also with either Galaxy device. Once Connected the SD card or device is shown in the file manager as USB device A and you can move, copy, or delete files between the SD card or USB device and the Galaxy device as you wish, including RAW files,  There are only two caveats; the Micro USB connector would not connect to my Galaxy Note 4 until I took the Note 4 out of the Samsung rubb er case it is in and you cannot connect to more than one device at a time.
