"Google Fiber" and "router".  Are these the same device, or are you
deploying your own separate router downstream of the Google Fiber?  And
just which Google Fiber device do you have?

https://support.google.com/fiber/answer/2597690?hl=en

That lists several.  You didn't specify which you have (or even if you
have one, or are asking about a potential later setup), so I picked:

https://support.google.com/fiber/answer/11277663

which says:

"The ‘super speed’ USB 3.0 port can be used to charge your devices."

That says nothing about using the USB3 port for network storage.  To
just charge devices would only require the voltage lines, and no data
lines.  Their "manual" sucks.  About as bad as what you get with
smartphones.  Er, wait, you don't get manuals with phones, or what you
get are written for uber boobs that don't want to know how to use or
configure the device.

Note that none of the respondents, so far, have actually stated they are
using the same "Google Fiber" device as you have, or plan to get.  Not
sure how they could since you didn't identify what you have.  Paul also
echoes my warning that just because the format of a port is USB does not
mandate it has more than just voltage lines for charging, as Google
mentions, or that the port is used for maintenance (e.g., firmware
flash), or to perform diagnostics on returned units.

If you don't yet have the device, call them to find out just what the
USB port is used for.  If they don't know, it's not a USB port for use
with mass storage devices.  I've seen other ONT (Optic Network Terminal)
makers respond that the USB port is not for networked storage, but just
for charging, or for maintenance or diagnostics.
