It depends on what format your Sony SD cards are in - I did a quick look and I think they support exFAT. After much searching I may have a solution for you - possibly.

My previous post is still being moderated as I am new here. This all appears to be a crazy issue in this day and age.I would expect technology just to work together. Ideally it would just sync the new files found on the SD card say each evening rather than try and copy the whole lot again - could be very slow otherwise. It looks to be the best option I can find so far as long as it supports the correct SD card format. However, the only reviews have seen say it sucks. Which supports backup from SD to USB device without a phone required. The WD passport is a bit expensive for me My Lenovo tab has a 256GB SD card formatted as inner storage so it would be a good backup option if only I could get the raw files into it. The LX100 has WIFI and an app, but the app does not support RAW.I can't find the propriety USB lead for the LX100 but I believe that won't work anyway. I have just bought (and still waiting for) a Sony RX10 iv so may have the same issue there.

I have tried with a Pixel 2 XL with USB OTG and a Lenovo tab 3 pro with USB OTB. I don't have any cards less than 64GB so maybe need to try with a 32GB card. I am having the same issue using a Panasonic LX100.

Try something like a RAVPower FileHub Plus, Wireless Travel Router, Portable SD Card,HDD Backup UnitĪll this hassle because Google didn’t want to pay an exFAT licensing fee for its Pixel phones.ġst post by me on this form.

Possible Android app that can get around the Pixel exFAT limitation.Use 32 GB SD cards which I understand are FAT32 (all my cards are 64 GB) & reformat my SanDisk portable SSD to FAT32.The Pixel phone can read SD cards & disk drives formatted FAT32, but can’t read anything formatted exFAT. I was hoping for a solution like the USB C hub and a SanDisk Extreme Portable External SSD (cheaper, more flexible & possibly more reliable.) and use an external USB power bank for both the USB C hub & to recharge my phone.Īfter trying multiple things and lots of online reading, it looks like the problem is due to Google Pixel phones not supporting exFAT (apparently they didn’t want to pay Microsoft licensing fees). The reason I was trying to avoid the WD My Passport SSD was due to its mixed reviews & cost. Why? Seems like what you want to do is more complicated than using the Passport. (I was hoping to avoid a solution like a WD My Passport Wireless SSD External Portable Drive) Is there something I’m missing that prevents me from reading an SD card slot in a USB C hub? (or maybe I just have a defective device.)Īny recommendations, or other solutions that allow me to reliably backup SD cards using my Pixel phone? I installed a file manager app (ES File Explorer File Manager), but still have the same problem.

The phone reports an “Issue with the USB drive” and offers to format it (the SD card was formatted in my Sony RX100 camera). Plugging this USB C hub into my phone, I can read a USB drive plugged into the hub’s USB port, but it can’t read an SD card plugged into the hub’s SD slot. I’ll try to upload some photos from SD cards to cloud storage, but in many locations I won’t have cellular or wifi access.Īfter some research, it looked like I could plug a USB C hub it into my Pixel phone and have the ability to copy from SD cards to a USB drive, while also charging my phone (some USB C hubs provide a Type-C PD Charging port).


I’m getting ready for a hiking trip with NO laptop, and I’d like to backup SD cards from my Sony RX100 camera to a USB drive (or other SD cards) using my Google Pixel 1 phone.
