use another phone.
2.
Check whether the microSD card was inserted into the phone correctly.
3.
If a microSD card has already been inserted, check whether USB drive mode is activated
on the connected phone.

provides power to the device. Certain USB storage devices that have a high power rating
such as portable hard drives or phones may not function properly.

the OTG cable?
The USB drive may be incompatible. Try again with another USB drive.
