External drive on Samsung galaxy S20+

[NK5]

I have a problem. I cannot get the external drive to work (connected through USB-c)

I can read a samsung M2  Evo  1TB disk, exFAT formatted, in an icybox enclosure with the samsung galaxy tab S6 just fine.

But not with the galaxy S20+. Sometimes I get the massage "Charging USB connected device", somethimes nothing, just feel the connected device getting hot as usual when connected to the tablet or a pc.

Tried many ways and nothing... Samsung, what's the problem? Voltage? Would be nice to put some notofication in that case???

It wont work. Many high capacity drives arent supported no idea why my wd digital 2tb drive also dont work.  It works fine from all other s series phones.  But from the s20 it stopped working

I have the same issue. My old S7 works perfectly with 32Gb USB drive but S20 can't even see it connected.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 and what I found that not all USB A to USB C adapters are created equally.  I  use an USB A to C adapter  and my 2TB WD drive will not mount however I have a Uni USB C hub with T100 Ethernet and 3 USB Female ports.  I plug my USB A 2TB WD into it and it mounts fine.

Even mounts NTFS drive via the Paragon NTFS ext.

I'm having the same problem. Can you tell me what device/hub you are using?
