32GB USB drives usually come pre-formatted as FAT32, a format supported by almost all devices; however, drives with a capacity of 64GB or higher typically come formatted as exFAT or NTFS (common on PCs). Some mobile operating systems or incompatible OTG cables may not support these formats well, resulting in the drive not being recognized at all. Try the following two steps to see if the issue can be resolved:
1. Change the USB drive’s file system format
Steps: Plug the USB drive into your computer, right-click the drive icon, and select “Format.”
Choosing the format: Ideally, format it as exFAT. This format is designed specifically for flash storage and supports the transfer of single large files exceeding 4GB (such as high-definition movies).
Alternative: Format as FAT32. If your phone still does not detect the drive after formatting it as exFAT, use a third-party partitioning tool on your computer to force the 64GB drive into the FAT32 format (Windows’ built-in formatting tool usually prevents formatting drives larger than 32GB as FAT32).

Note: Please back up any important data from the 64GB USB drive to your computer first, as formatting will erase all data.
2. Ensure the OTG function is enabled on your phone
Go to “Settings” → “Other networks and connections” (or search for “OTG”) → Locate and toggle on the “OTG” switch.
