Connect portable hard drive directly to phone

[Rgarner]

I have a Toshiba 2 gb portable hard drive and a Moto G 5 g running Android 14. How do I connect them to each other without having to use a computer or other such device? Do I need an extra cable, my head examined, etc.?

@Milo Williamson : will be glad to FaceTime you with assistance

That's great. I don't have facetime. Does that even exist any more?

I was kidding.

Order a few pies from your local pizza place and we'll all come by.

I'm in. You guys work out all the wire and cable stuff, I'll order the pies. I'm thinking extra anchovies 🤔

Once I get these fabulous cables, how will I know how to use them? What plugs into what? I suppose when I do this a few times I'll be an old hand showing young whippersnappers the ropes.

What do you mean? Just find one ends that fits into the hard drive and the one end is usb that should fit into your pc.
