Nexus Photo Viewer allows you to view the JPEG photos from a USB flash drive or SD card on your Nexus 7 & 10 or other Android 3.2+ devices that do not support mounting external flash storage. Google choose not to allow USB/SD Card access on the Nexus series. This software works-around that issue. Requires the following hardware. 1) A USB OTG Cable (Cost approximately $1-5 USD on Amazon), 2) A USB Flash Drive or USB SD Card Reader and SD Card. See screenshots for hardware examples.
Technical Notes:
-The Nexus 4 does not support OTG/USB Host and can not be supported.
-DOES NOT REQUIRE ROOT!
-The USB drive must be formatted as FAT16, FAT32 or NTFS (not extX). These are the most common formats for flash drives.
-Hard Drives. It is strongly recommended that you use external power when connecting a hard drive to a tablet. Please see the troubleshooting guide on my web site for more information. Do not connect an unpowered hard drive to a phone!

This app works flawlessly on my Motorola Xoom (with Jellybean), and it's FREE! However, I'm trying to figure out the differences between this app and the other (Nexus Media Importer), other than the price. In any case, a great app! Without question, th

Super app. Works easily and smoothly. Would be better if photos could be viewed full screen. Would happily make it 5 star then.

Never got it to work, despite trying every possible combination of steps. Waste of time, fortunately I didn't waste money too.
