"Your phone also supports USB On-The-Go" -- no, it does not, USB OTG only applies to micro USB, this phone is USB C. What you wanted to say is "Your phone has a USB C connector so you can directly connect a USB disk..." Also, a data role swap might be necessary which, regrettably, is called OTG under Settings > Connected devices. But that's a misnomer from Android.

@chx, so you are saying that the answer calls it OTG, the Android menu calls it OTG it is quite clear what is being suggested, but for some technical obscure reasons you object to this term? ;)

Since when is the USB C specification a technical obscure reason??

@chx Since the general public doesn't use the term. Not all USB-C ports are dual-role ports (DRP). That the phrasing "this device supports USB-OTG" remains commonplace over "this device supports dual role / has a DRP" is obvious. Since it remains unambiguous to say a USB-C device "supports OTG", what's the harm?

Connecting a gigabit LAN adapter is also an option, although obviously limited by the speed of USB 2.0. I did this combined with a free FTP app the other day.
