I think so. I think you want to copy and paste files from your hard disk to your phone?

It IS possible. With the right software of course. But you risk shorting out your phone because it will use the power from the Diamond, unless it has a external power supply which means that it will DEFINATELY short your diamond.

Yeah, but would be for connecting a external HDD, which need a lot of power...

A Flash drive on the other hand doesn't need thad much. Don't know if that would be possible though

Exactly what I said. If your external HDD has a power supply then it's fine. But if it doesn't then you could short out your diamond.

A USB port can either be a slave or a host. For the Diamond to connect to an external slave device (ie hard drive) it would need the diamond to become a Host Controller port.  Currently as far as I know, at the moment, the USB port is only a slave port (ie connects to a host port such as those on PC's).
Also,a slave port only takes power from a USB connection and doesn't drive power out.
