Tried it 4 times and gave up. Came back to see your post and now it's working.
Thx Icon .In 4 1
Didn't like that it uses friction to insert the card rather than the push lock type. Didn't like that the caps weren't interchangeable on both ends.

For older USB connectors, there are "A" and "B" types [cablestogo.com]. Normally the host device has an A connection, while the peripheral uses the B type. The best example of this were printers connected over USB. The end connected to the printer (peripheral) was the less commonly seen B side, while the end connected to your PC was the familiar, rectangular A type.
Devices like non-Apple cell phones had Micro USB connections. But more specifically, the B type of Micro USB. This makes sense when you think about plugging your phone into a PC. The PC was host that was in control, while the phone was the peripheral that was often seen as a USB drive.
Now, imagine you want to plug a USB drive or card reader into a phone. In this scenario, the phone is obviously the host that is in control. But since the phone has a "B" type of connector, it breaks the standard when it acts as the host. Fortunately, phone makers account for this. The phone hardware and software understands that this may happen, and handles things smoothly.
This still leaves the issue of the physical shape. Normal USB drives and card readers have connectors that expect to be plugged into a USB-A port, like on a PC. OTG cables fill this gap by allowing you to plug a peripheral into a (Micro) USB-B port. Here's a good example of a traditional OTG cable [amazon.com].
How does this apply to the product in this deal?
IMO, it doesn't. USB-C already does away from the asymmetrical nature of USB-A and USB-B connectors. There is no need for OTG adapters with USB-C. Combining "OTG" and "USB-C" is redundant.
This product uses "OTG" as a buzzword or search term to help people find what they are looking for. I do think the term "OTG" helps some people find what they are looking for, so I don't think that it is terrible that the vendor includes that term in the product's description.
The other end has a USB-A connector. If the the packaging included a USB-B connector/adapter, then it would be an OTG device.
TL;DR:
In the past, devices like phones had the wrong plug type (Micro USB-B) to support peripherals like thumb drives and mice. Think "square peg, round hole". OTG adapters [amazon.com] fixed this issue.
USB-C connectors no longer have this problem, and don't need special OTG adapters.

It seems that this standard was first introduced ages ago to indicate that a cable with a normal sized USB (USB A) on one end and a smaller size on the other end (Mini/Micro USB) did data AND power instead of JUST power.
In this case, I BELIEVE that OTG is indicating that you can use the USB A or the USB C connector to access the SD card. I want to say I've seen a similar device where only the USB A could access the SD card.
