For anyone like me say, my Nexus 7 is great, it's really a shame not to be able to connect a USB drive, external hard drive finally a storage unit that would make my Nexus 7, a tablet dream, and although your dream is quite achievable. This OTG cable lets you through a small program to purchase on Google Play, "Nexus Media Import" (official software and inexpensive, which works very well, unlike some other "Free" but bugue), you can connect all external media formatted in "FAT, FAT32, FATxx" to your Nexus 7 (does not recognize media formatted with NTFS). Movies, music, photos, slide, books etc etc, are now available and without limit. Small cable, great functionality, to obtain very quickly. I highly recommend without hesitation
