[QUOTE="Barx, post: 361817, member: 121"] OK, let's get one thing straight. An android tablet is not trying to be a PC. is is a hand held device. You was trying to copy the files wrong in the first place. Would you look for a file browser on a usb stick to copy files from the pc to it? The tablet connects to the pc in USB Slave mode and so is connected just like it was a USB drive. Depending on the age of the device, if it is new enough then yes you can connect your camera directly to the device. If your tablet supports USB Host mode the you need to get a USB OTG (On The Go) cable. This plugs into your device and has a female full size usb connector on the other end. Then you simply plug your normal camera lead into that. It should then pick up your camera as a USB storage device (if this is how it normally happens with your pc). As for input devices, there are many bluetooth devices that are supported. If you want to use wired, plug a USB hub into that USB OTG cablea dn they should work. Mouse pointer included. Again, unless the device is age old, then this functionality will be supported. If you are insistent on copy files from pc on the device then install an app like WS File Explorer and setup a SMB share. .......Far from a toy my friend... [/QUOTE]
