Hi Triple M! Where were you a week ago...:) I purchased several of the ONN 4k Streaming boxes for my home. After setting it up, I noticed the lack of internal storage for programs and data (just as you pointed out). I've been a fan of Troypoint for years so I found his video on expanding the storage. His video recommended formatting the USB stick as part of the device (in order to use it for storing apps). After realizing that this DID NOT allow me to store data (videos, music, etc.), I started researching how to expand external storage. Triple M... every video and article I found about this ONLY showed how to add INTERNAL storage. Not one article talked about data storage. As a result of this and many hours of troubleshooting (I'm a retired PC Systems Consultant...:)), I accidentally discovered that, if I ignore the "New USB attached - Setup" (or some such message), the USB drive is now available as data storage. Also, if you restart the ONN box, the message disappears. Imagine my surprise when I saw your video about how to solve my issue. Hence the "Where were you...". Thanks so much for creating this video, Triple M! I'm putting this link in my ONN box folder (on my PC) for future reference.

Didn't you read the side of the box before you bought them ?

@CPatafio Жыл бұрын

@@Ridethebomb777 I DID read the box. However, I'm NOT an Android programmer and this was my first experience with an Android TV box. Therefore, I didn't know what to expect as far as storage capabilities and expansion capabilities.

@@CPatafio Far play. I think the Onn would be fine for most people who just want to stream their 'paid' subscriptions ... Netflix, Prime etc etc. But for actually cord cutters who rely on apk's for their entertainment .... no.

@@Ridethebomb777 I was actually able (using the instructions in the video PLUS some troubleshooting) to install 2 USB sticks... one as memory expansion and one as additional storage.😀

Great video. Got the same Onn box from my brother a week ago and wanted to add storage from USB stick and was not able to do it. Either format as system storage which would make it unreadable to my PC or can't use it at all. Your video solve that. Is there a program or method to image/restore the device in case it goes back or you want to image to another Onn device? If you can answer that or make a video on it that would be great. Thanks.

ONN boxes are nice, but it's a big disappointment that is doesn't work with NTFS or exFAT formatted drives.

@bigkahuna2084 11 ай бұрын

@@gstar7686 If the files are larger than 4 GB, will it just STOP copying at that point (i.e. 'fail') OR ... Will the rest of the file CONTINUE to be copied as a 'second part' (that could still be played after viewing the first part)? If the latter (though inconvenient and clunky) you still could watch your videos, yes? Pardon my computer ignorance ... just curious what the reality is when it comes to the 4 GB file limitation of FAT32? TIA!

If you’d had success with an external SSD drive with your ONN streaming box, can you please comment below with the brand of that hard drive as well as the size? Sometimes the brand makes a big difference whether or not it will work at all, and your input will save people a lot of hunting around. Thank you.

is there a way to save all the apps I have downloaded to the email address I use so that when i set up a new box and log into the box with my email that it will install all my apps during the set up instead of searching for the apps I want to download on the tv box. What is the max hard drive space you can use, can I use a 12tb hard drive?

Great, except it doesn't work. I believe I have version 10. I was able to add the hardware, it's not visible under "storage."

@ocstrangeness 5 ай бұрын

Do not use the original power supply that it comes with, 5ghz wireless will become unstable and slow to a crawl. I assume your usb speeds will not be as fast as they should be, either. Use a higher quality micro usb cable and plug it in somehow (I use my xbox one, personally).

Some OTG cables aren't compatible with this Onn 4k streaming device from what i am told. Some may have problems carrying the power or your usb may have to be formatted to something other than Fat32 only or what format that brand of otg cable you have , requires. So, you have to make sure to get a compatible OTG cable for this onn device. Hope that helps.
