Slate 21 external storage not in file manager
04-15-2018 01:07 PM

Product: HP slate 21
Operating System: Android 4.4 - 4.4.4 KitKat
I can not access or retrieve from any external storage. I have external HD connected with USB and a SD card inserted but neither one shows up in file manager. In settings I have mounted the external HD but still not showing up in file manager. Slate has been pretty useless because of this.
