I too have a Nexus 5 with Android 6.0 build MRA58N and would love to access external storage. My phone has only so much space for FLAC files (no SD cards) and large external storage would be great. My USB DAC works through a powered USB hub along with a flash drive, but there is no way to access the files other than one-at-a-time through ES File Explorer.
It looks like they changed how portable storage is accessed in Android 6.0 and developers have to go through the Storage Access Framework (SAF) for portable storage.

If the developers went ahead with support for SAF it might mean they would also support cloud storage like Google Drive and Dropbox. Not sure how the GUI would work.
This project on GitHub is also related, but the apk does not do much yet: https://github.com/alphadev-net/drive-mount
