Have the methods changed for connecting USB devices to the new Nexus 7

[MadScientist]

There's the USB OTB adapter/root/Stickmount app method.

or the USB OTB adapter/no root/Nexus Media Importer app method.

Has anything changed with Android Jelly Bean 4.3?

Just tried Stickmount with my rooted Nexus 7 2013 and it's reading my flashdrive fine with my OTB adapter.

Thanks Ravynmagi. Which USB OTB adapter are you using?
These 2 have been confirmed to work with the Nexus 7.
