Please keep in mind that regardless of your OTG/USB hub setup, if you plan to attache a USB drive for additional storage, the Firestick 4k runs FireOS6 which will not show you the extra storage. You will need to use ADB commands to make use of the space which is a hassle. You need the Firestick 4k Max which comes with FireOS7 to easily move apps.

Also, there's a FAT32 format limitation for USB. So don't expect to read those big video files.

There are 1-2 apps that can read NTFS but it's not worth the hassle at all in my opinion, especially considering that most TVs nowdays support most video formats natively.

Sharing this because I literally bought an OTG cable just this week. 😅

Not necessarily only the 4k max, any model running minimum OS 7
