I have an OTG card reader with a USB-B connection. I also have a USB-B to USB-C adaptor. When I plug the card reader, with the adaptor, into the TAB A it doesn't register.

If I plug the card reader, without the adaptor, into my A7 phone it registers.

Any advice please?
 
It would appear SD card was corrupt. When I installed ES File Explorer this information was given. The Samsung file app just ignored the corruption and did not even show the card reader!!

Having corrected the corruption, in ES File Explorer, even the Samsung app now shows the SD card in the reader?
