Pictures from android to my passport

Is it possible to transfer pictures and videos directly from my Android Galaxy S5 to my 1 TB “My Passport” drive. If so how do I go about it.

Thanks for any help

Hello

If you have your Android phone and My Passport connected to a computer, you can transfer the files manually from your phone to the drive itself using the computer.

I have seen several videos on YouTube where they use an OTG cable adapter and do it directly without a laptop. what are your thoughts on that method?

It’s not warranted or supported. Power requirements, file system (exFAT, NTFS, HFS, FAT32), hard drive size and the behavior of the adapter in question all affect performance, reliability, and compatibility.
