USB external storage not working

Hi,

Tablet Z 16GB WiFi

10.31.C.0.136

I've tried tried two different usb drives with two different OTG adapters all of which work fine in other devices, but when plugged into the tablet do nothing.  I was expecting the drive to be automatically mounted. The option in settings to mount external USB storage is also greyed out.

Any ideas?

Did you ever find a solution for this problem. I have exactly the same issue with the 'Mount USB Storage' option greyed out.

Not a satisfactory one. A few USB drives don't seem to work, most do. There are no obvious differences in partition layout, file systems etc. All tested drives work just fine on my galaxy s3.
