Because of Curiosity Cafe Videos, at 75 years old, I know more about the fire stick then my 12 year old grandson

[@CuriosityCafe]

Love to hear that!

[@davesanchez7275]

Awesome, very well done. The most that I love about your video, is how clean and clear you speak to transfer the information to us! thank you!

[@josephharris8703]

You explained the program better than most of the computer people from KZbin thank you

[@jennsteelersgirl8191]

This is why I screen shot your info and save it. I learn so much and can’t thank you enough👍

[@6maxwell99]

Thank you.I ordered the OTG and can't wait to try this out.

[@ferrary73]

Love your videos and tutorials, super knowledgeable and helpful....thank you for teaching us how to use these devices...this is priceless!!!!

[@mikec.9341]

You are very good at explaining in terms that the average person can understand. Thank you

[@jamesdoyle7317]

I'm not much into saving stuff and fully understand what you said about external storage. I just want to be able to watch movies without buffering due to insufficient internal storage. Do you have a video on increasing internal storage?

[@bucky20091]

Awesome video! I'm a veteran streaming device and Kodi user and have been using far more expensive streaming devices for a long time. I had a firestick that was just sitting in a drawer that was given to me, along with a 256 GB USB drive. I saw your video and after getting the necessary OTG cable, i did the setup and have it running in my home gym, and it works great! Ive got a few friends who use firesticks, and struggle with storage, so i sent them your video as well, now they are subscribed to your channel just like I am. Thank You!

[@harryurquiza48]

As always; flawless!!!! Thank you one more time!!!!

[@SlingShotNinja]

I spend alot of time on KZbin. You are the only one that makes sense. Calm and cool. Thank you brother.

[@rkgaston123]

Thanks!! I got my firestick, OTG and Ext drive; and this info is just what I needed!!

[@freddyvelasquez4168]

You’re always very informative. You’re my go to guru on KZbin. Happy Holidays. Stay safe and be well.

[@robertmowery3370]

Thank you very much. I view your site each time I want to expand my system. You are a great teacher for someone at my level of stupid. You explain the programs better than everyone I watch. Thank you again.

[@ayarlett]

Made me laugh with the endless cords and cables there for a minute. But thanks for everything you do and I have been taking your advice for some time now.

[@goaty58]

As someone else mentioned you make a great presenter with clear instructions great work !

[@MrFlasailor]

For me this was the best video I have seen and appreciate your time making it for us

[@axelramis4252]

That’s a great setup. Thinking of doing the same set up. Seems very straight forward. Love that I found your channel.

[@richierich515O]

What a great video . You always have the best insight.

[@itsallthesametruth1077]

Great video love to try this out. Thank you for the explanation and keep up the great content.

[@sandragrowe3554]

I just watched this to see what you were talking about. This is great. I believe I understand. I am going to get a thumb drive and get es file. I am going to experiment to see how this works.

[@brentlyons9075]

If I opt for a flash drive for now instead of the ext HD would you recommend 2.0 or 3.0? Does the fire stick support 3.0?

[@reneaccc7736]

I so love your videos: so easy to follow. You must be some kind of a spokesperson 😊 ; as always great stuff

[@CuriosityCafe]

Just trying to help. Thanks for the support

[@laurabarnham4713]

We cut the cord almost 2 years ago with Roku. We like it, but are switching to Fire Stick and want to be able to DVR and I found this video. I can't wait to watch some of your other videos. THANK YOU :)

[@sure2rain725]

Thanks. Have been waiting for your video on the upgraded ES File Explorer👍

[@davidreed668]

I'm loving this video! I have my 78 inch LG smart tv hardwired to my router. But I can't wait to add a 2T external storage to my stick. I'm running the Cobra Broadcasting App per your suggestion and it really works well along with my other add ons. I've already told my bro - law to subcribe to your channel if he wants his stick to run as good as mine.👍

[@hectorbueno6]

When will you do a video that explains moving apps to an external storage device and operating them from there? Your videos are just great, keep it up.

[@CuriosityCafe]

Soon

[@GlennesEcho]

I'm going to be doing this when I'm done with work. I'm going to redo my storage before I go to bed. I believe I have the materials like you do. We'll see!

[@x-wingflyboy8177]

Seriously great video, I have been wondering how to add external storage to the stick and move content, now I know. The ethernet idea appeals to me greatly so invested in one and a OTG cable. Be fun doing this and seeing if I can get it to work.

[@zezaorio]

I finally was able to download the app. I am trying to delete redundant files. I select all but I can't figure out how to highlight the delete button to remove the files ( they all have Kodi in the filename so I assume they are safe to delete). I also can't delete duplicate files. Please help.

[@jeet-Seattle]

That's great, because fire stick comes with 6gb I think after installing few apps, only 1 gb left...

[@fredku6772]

Great stuff, very clear explanation. Thank you

[@TasmanOutdoors]

Fantastic content by an awesome presenter. Very interesting and very helpful to me. Thankyou very much! 💗

[@dritankureta]

Waiting for the next video on how to install the applications in a external drive rather then firestick 😉

[@CuriosityCafe]

Probably be a couple weeks

[@nicholasborgards7698]

I did my firestick with sandisk 2.0 32gb flashdrive

[@erniebellinetti7590]

Excellent How2s. Great Resource. Explanations are easy to follow and understand. Thanks!

[@loomis2169]

I LOOKED FOR EVER FOR THE OTG ADAPTER THAT HAD 3 PLUGS AND THEN SCOLLED DOWN AND SEEN THE LINKS . THIS GUY IS AMAZING. 5 STARS

[@ertigers]

Thanks for this information. I have OTG cable and might just play around with this.

[@flikchik2931]

Thanks you for the info... greatly appreciated ☺

[@pator4213]

Excellent presentation, many thanks.

[@pageluvva]

Wow is that an amazing video. So well explained. Much appreciated my friend. Cheers from Quebec

Thank you...I following you everyday...keep up the good work!!!

[@lanceopperude5868]

Thank you for this video and your channel. This helped me with my firestick.

[@jnew0992]

Great info. Definitely needed

[@Raygilley10]

I love that you make all this so easy

[@robertcline3963]

Thanks. I'm going to give ES Pro a try. I have used other methods to transfer files back and forth and the regular version of ES was not very effective. I'll see how this works for me.

[@ifern4545]

Thanks, installed mine just now, all working as intended.

[@marilynschlagel-racine2853]

Best video I've ever seen on this information.. clear & to the point.. Love this channel I'll be back thanks alot

[@thehawkstv]

Good video and information that actually works. Thank you.

[@georgeorhan1195]

fantastic demo. thanks mate. you da man

[@helenphillips8547]

You rock have a great time on vacation!

[@louissimonouellet]

you know all the tricks! great video again.

[@aseshshah4897]

Superb ideas mate, thank you

[@leopold7562]

Sounds great, and just the sort of thing I need. But now I'm going to scan through your videos and see if you've done a similar thing, but hooking to a NAS instead - I've got one of those and if I can hook that in instead, I'll have even more storage and some protection for the data, too

[@stevefromlondon9175]

Thank you for your video it was a great help keep safe Regards Steve UK London

[@walterbrocker5375]

thank you for this information thank you so much it was very helpful

[@x-wingflyboy8177]

Yeah just installed the ES file app you mentioned too, looks good man.

[@jackmontana593]

Fabulous as usual. I will be purchasing the external drive. Already have OTG and Ethernet Adapter

[@doniotte681]

Hi I have a question for you how do I keep my Screensaver going because after about maybe 30 of my photos it shuts off is there a way to keep it going? Thanks 🙏 you’re Fan from Norfolk Massachusetts, and Stay Healthy and Safe to you and All Your Family and Fans

[@eugenemann8433]

Yes, exactly the same. I've already put in a return for the OTG adaptors and reordered the cables. They'll be here in two days and I'll retry it.

[@CuriosityCafe]

Sorry, our experience was different. No problems at all. Did exactly what was shown on the video.

[@heartbreakkracker]

These OTG Adapters don't allow my ethernet to get through to the Firestick. I've tried all options. Rather keep my ethernet connection

[@JRock514514]

I love all your videos man, thanks for taking the time to do this for all of us dummies…well let’s just say not as smart as you when it comes to doing things like this lol

[@antoniomontenegro6080]

Thank you awesome learned Lots!!!

[@ramesharame7226]

Very nice experience for me to seeing your video 👍🤝 thank u sir its great 👍

[@richardlindsey3514]

Great info 👍👍👍

[@mikedube5778]

I find these videos extremely helpful!! Thank You! This one is really frustrating me however, I purchased the Seagate 2 TB external drive in from Amazon, and all it does is go in a constant loop constantly making my firestick reset. I thought I had a faulty drive so I exchanged it for another, and the same thing is happening. Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions?

[@CuriosityCafe]

That is a power issue. In your case it's either the firestick isn't plugged into the 2amp firestick plug (maybe a different plug, or direct into the tv?). Or your firestick has too many resources being used. Have you closed all your background apps? Do you run background apps and processes apk?

[@vincealessandra3415]

That's awesome.

[@migelmagoo5343]

Brilliant vid. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@amardiab9196]

very detailed.. thanksgiving, 😘

[@CrAzYAuNtSiSsy]

Thank you so much but I have a couple questions. It did not ask for permission....just started up, why. Also how can I change the theme, I can hardly see where am.

[@manolocordovez9323]

Thanks for sharing!

[@larryordoyne5779]

Thanks for the info !!!!

[@hectorrivera4347]

This is one of the info i need Thank you so much

[@sidehustle2478]

The drive is that a ssd also can you download directly when downloading the amazon app or not.

[@javiertizonvazquez3479]

Hola amigo, con el nuevo Fire Stick 3ª se puede ampliar la memoria? anteriormente solo permitia version 4k.

[@pellouch]

What can you do with all that extra space? Store (home/personal) video/photos? Install more apps? What else??

[@strand97]

Can't wait to find out how to run my apps off my drive!

[@pfunk2306]

Greetings thanks as always

[@oscarbretado2220]

Thanks for the info. Laredo Tx

[@pepeschley143]

Love it

[@ralphb.3802]

Very informative. Will this allow me to download movies and shows to replay later when I don't have internet access. I'd like to record content and play back in my RV. Thanks.

[@WallStWarLord]

What is the maximum external/additional storage that can be added to the Amazon Firestick 4K? In other words and more specifically can I add my Seagate 8TB Fat32 configured external hard drive to the OTG Cable Connection and Configuration? Please advise...Thank you...

[@CuriosityCafe]

Probably not 8TB. Largest I've gotten to work is 2TB and not all work because of the power draw. You will get a power loop which will damage the firestick.

[@davewhool3091]

Just now checking you out-great video and audio explanation of Fire TV hook up. Will this description also work with the Cube? ..thanks

[@stampdouglas1461]

Thankx again

[@rudypina2364]

You're the man 👍

[@briancowan4318]

So, I ordered the OTG adapter (2pack) on Saturday. Amazon delivered today because I selected the funky delivery option. Got a USB card reader so I could use my SD micro cards that are sitting around like teenagers. Hooked up as shown, using the card reader with 64GB SD micro and nothing. No notification of external device added, just nothing. Diving into my parts adapter pack, I checked out the card reader on the PC, it was fine. Unfortunately neither of the OTG Adapters appeared to work on the Firestick or the Laptop (Via USB Mini to 'A' adapter). Amazon was great and I'm returning the non-operative parts to the UPS store tomorrow. So, should I just go looking for a OTG cable instead or re-try the adapter? And yes, I did order the correct part as listed above. You guidance is sought.

[@CuriosityCafe]

Sounds like a format issue. Firestick can only read fat32. Did you try for closing es file, then restarting the firestick? Should prompt you to reformat to proper format unless that drive simply isn’t compatible

[@marcdelva1821]

I like it and would like to use it. Thanks so much.

[@BobBurnsRE]

Thanks!!!

[@martinandroid2538]

Yep got one of those, was the first thing I looked into... Indispensable for Firestick. Got an old 1tb hard drive plugged in, a flash drive and a game controller. I'm a big fan of SBCs but you can save yourself hassle installing these and get a Firestick 4k, a on sale it cannot be beaten.
