Trying to quickly move a lot of videos, images, or audio files to and from your OnePlus 3?  The Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C is a good solution since you can plug this drive into the USB Type-C interface on the OnePlus 3, and transfer data in and out quickly.

Let's look in more detail how to use the OnePlus 3 as a USB host which allows you to connect USB drives to use with the phone.

With USB Type-C, the connector is reversible so it doesn't matter which orientation you use to insert the Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C's Type-C connector into the OnePlus 3.

The trick to enabling USB Host mode on the OnePlus 3 is to go to its Settings -> Storage & USB where by default you will see the phone's internal storage information.  

  

You then need to tap the three vertical dots on the top right corner and select Enable OTG. This will allow USB peripherals to be recognized by the OnePlus 3.

After this enablement, the Storage & USB screen shows both Internal storage & Portable storage information. The Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C can now be seen under the Portable storage section.

You can also see the Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C by dragging the OnePlus 3 screen from top to down to see the notifications.  

To transfer files from internal storage to the drive, go to the Files App, tap on three horizontal lines on the Top left Corner of your OnePlus 3, and select Internal storage. 

  

   

From Internal storage, we copied the two images and pasted it into the Kingston DataTraveler microDuo 3C.
