Jun 8, 2022 at 13:23 comment added U. Windl I think you always buy an UTG/OTG adapter for your phone. I had one that worked with Samsung, but would not with Huawei, so I bought another one that worked for Huawei.
Jun 8, 2022 at 1:19 comment added ProgrammingLlama 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.
Jun 7, 2022 at 20:09 comment added chx Just two problems off head, there might be many more: 1. you buy an OTG adapter and then it's micro USB and you can't even plug it in. 2. you might think a special OTG cable is needed when that's not necessary. Finally, is there really any phone with a non-DRP USB C port?
Jun 7, 2022 at 11:13 comment added Jivan Pal @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?
Jun 7, 2022 at 7:45 comment added chx Since when is the USB C specification a technical obscure reason??
Jun 7, 2022 at 7:09 comment added Andrew Savinykh @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? ;)

Jun 5, 2022 at 18:39 comment added chx "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.
