I have just bought (and still waiting for) a Sony RX10 iv so may have the same issue there. I have tried with a Pixel 2 XL with USB OTG and a Lenovo tab 3 pro with USB OTB. I don't have any cards less than 64GB so maybe need to try with a 32GB card. I am having the same issue using a Panasonic LX100.

(I was hoping to avoid a solution like a WD My Passport Wireless SSD External Portable Drive) Is there something I’m missing that prevents me from reading an SD card slot in a USB C hub? (or maybe I just have a defective device.)Īny recommendations, or other solutions that allow me to reliably backup SD cards using my Pixel phone? I installed a file manager app (ES File Explorer File Manager), but still have the same problem.

The phone reports an “Issue with the USB drive” and offers to format it (the SD card was formatted in my Sony RX100 camera). Plugging this USB C hub into my phone, I can read a USB drive plugged into the hub’s USB port, but it can’t read an SD card plugged into the hub’s SD slot. I’ll try to upload some photos from SD cards to cloud storage, but in many locations I won’t have cellular or wifi access.Īfter some research, it looked like I could plug a USB C hub it into my Pixel phone and have the ability to copy from SD cards to a USB drive, while also charging my phone (some USB C hubs provide a Type-C PD Charging port). I’m getting ready for a hiking trip with NO laptop, and I’d like to backup SD cards from my Sony RX100 camera to a USB drive (or other SD cards) using my Google Pixel 1 phone.
