Anker USB-C to USB 3.1 Adapter, Converts USB-C Female into USB-A Female, Uses USB OTG Technology, Compatible with Samsung Galaxy Note 8, S8 S8+ S9, iPad Pro 2018, Nexus 6P 5X, LG V20 G5 and more

The product: This works great with my Samsung Note 8. I can transfer files to and from my phone quickly to USB sticks, which is why I bought it. Build quality is good and it does exactly what I want it to. Highly recommended. Some background Information on why I bought it: I have always transferred files from an OTG USB stick from my PC to my phone using my trusty Sandisk. SanDisk SDDD2-016G-GAM46 Ultra Dual USB 3.0 Flash Drive However my Note 8, has a USB-C port, so the Sandisk won't fit. Undeterred, I used the adapter that comes with the Note 8, however that didn't work. I contacted Samsung about it, and after some questions about what I was trying to do, they asked me to send my phone away, which I was not prepared to do. (I was also invited to take my phone to a "drop-in" centre, but I didn't believe there was anything wrong with my phone. Anyway, I bought a USB-C Sandisk stick SanDisk Ultra 64 GB Dual USB Flash Drive USB 3.0 Type-C , which worked fine in my phone, but cannot be used while the phone is in its protective case, and the case, although excellent, is awkward to get on and off in a hurry. Samsung Galaxy Note 8 case, i-Blason [Ares] Full-body Rugged Clear Bumper Case with Built-in Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Note 8 2017 Release (Black) So I still had a file transfer problem, and needed a solution to allow me to quickly and conveniently transfer files. I had a search on Amazon for USB-C OTG cables and came across this. Being an Anker product, I knew I could rely on great quality and value with excellent aftercare, so I bought it with confidence and, as expected, it worked perfectly.

A very handy little adapter to marry up usb 3 or 2 with Thunderbolt on a Macbook or usb c on any other device. I’m using it on my MacBook Pro 2018 to connect hard drives, flash drives, card readers, Dragonfly DAC...all work flawlessly. It’s a perfect fit for the Thunderbolt port - not too tight or loose like some of the cheaper adapters - and it helps you take full advantage of the technology by playing its part in unlocking the lightning speeds. It’s very well made with a tough cable and moulded connectors at each end, which I prefer to others constructed of metal (e.g. aluminum) that are likely to scratch or ding your hardware and I’m not a fan of braided cables. It may cost double of others listed on Amazon (two adapters for the price of this one) but it’s well worth paying just a few quid extra for a trusted brand, quality product and peace of mind that it won’t damage your ports. Moreover, it’s less than half the price of Apple’s own product - in terms of quality and performance this matches it (and arguably exceeds it) so why pay the Apple premium?

I’ve been using the Anker USB-C to USB 3.1 Adapter for a while now, and it’s turned out to be a really handy little gadget. My phone's storage is always maxed out, so this adapter has been a lifesaver. I load up my USB stick with movies and TV series and connect it to my phone. The connection is solid—no lag issues at all, and the quality on screen always seems just fine. It's great to be able to watch my media without worrying about my phone’s storage and without any interruptions or drop in quality.

Cable works great, and connection seamless, my only downside is the cable has a plastic coat and the little cable isn't very flexible its very stiff, so don't know if that would bother anyone

Does what it says, good quick delivery, so far sa good

This is a great piece of kit to transfer media from your phone onto USB drives. Once inserted into your phone, it is automatically mounted and ready to use. Before you remove the cable with a connected USB drive from the phone, remember to unmount the drive first, to prevent any problems.

Bought this adapter for use with my Samsung A50 and TC Electronics TonePrint guitar pedals. The pedals allow you to download patches via the app and store them for use in the pedals. It's possible to edit or create your own patches on mobile but requires a USB "on the go" adapter. I received this Anker adapter very quickly after buying it and was excited to edit my first user patches for my TC Flashback 2 pedal right from my phone. I powered up the pedal and plugged in the USB cable from TC into the pedal and adapter, and then the USB-C end to my phone. I'm happy to say that it worked perfectly! When I plugged it into the phone the app detected the model and serial number. I was then able to edit my patches and load new user patches with the cable. There is a new version of this adapter, but I think the form factor isn't too suitable for those with cases. This cable with adapter hanging off is much better in my opinion.

Being a Non Techie, my IT Super King of a Son told me to buy this and how to attach it up! It worked! No idea why but it did!

Contrary to many other OTG adapters, this works.

No funciona mi lector de discos con usb A. Necesita más energía y el cable no lo soporta.

Ottimo, funziona perfettamente

This little cable worked great for me on an M1 MacBook Air. I recently switched from Win11 to MacOS and needed this to connect an external USB drive full of my data. MacOS detected the drive immediately and allowed me to transfer all the data I've accumulated over the years quite easily and so much faster than having to send it over WiFi. Everything transferred and nothing was corrupted. Very happy and even if I never use this cable again it was worth the cost for a hassle free transfer of my data onto the new MacBook.

Why pay more?
