LG G Stylo: Connecting a flash USB drive with OTG cable

Anyone have any success accessing files on a flash drive connected to LG G Stylo with an OTG cable?

As I understand it, when a USB flash drive is connected via an OTG cable, the status bar should show an icon indicating a newly connected USB device as well as the file explorer should start automatically. I see none of that, no icon and no file explorer starting, basically nothing happens when I connect a USB drive via OTG. I see no way to access files on the drive from the phone, even if I start the file explorer manually.

Any ideas? I'm running stock Android 5.1.1, not rooted.
