I have a new Fire HD10 2019. I have tried to connect a Samsung USB 500GB drive to it. The connection does not allow me to access files on the Samsung. The Samsung has USB 3 and I have used an adapter to give me a USB C connection. The power light on the Samsung comes on but the Kindle does not connect.
I have turned on the debugging USB setting but still no go!

Could it be a format problem? or I am I missing something obvious?

i dont k
now if you can run a hard drive and it might very well be a format problem, you can run a smallish memory stick off them

but as a start, have you put a file manager app on the fire ?

RE: USB connectivity

HI
I think I know what the problem is. It seems the Kindle can only read FAT32 systems. My Samsung is formatted as NTFS! It looks like I will have to make the transfers via my PC.
