I have never used USB storage on the Xbox1 so can't help you on that.

But my solution to your problem is I fill a spare 2.5" usb drive with
"content" and then use the laptop and a network crossover cable
to update
the remote xbox the next time I am at it. Obviously if you don't have a
laptop/PC handy it doesn't work.
