Hello,
I want to buy a usb-c cable for my Nexus 5x. But I also need a USB-c otg cable. So I would like to know:
Do I need both? A usb cable without otg in order to connect it with a pc and also a usb otg cable to connect it with other devices or is a usb otg cable everything I need? Is it possible to send images from my Nexus 5x to my pc via a usb otg cable?
Either way you'll need two different cables to do both since the USB OTG will go to a USB A female connector and you'll need a male connector to plug into your computer. I'm not sure if it would properly give up host to your PC when you tried to connect to it anyway.
Also in the future you might get more help in the Q/A sections for these types of things.
Is it possible on stock device? I have tried all my tricks, no luck so far. Thanks for any idea on how to make it work.

Something wrong with your port? It works fine for me with the included adapter. Suggest you try on a store display model for comparison.

How it respond when u put it in?
All right. I am getting somewhere I think. Otg does work with the usbc to usb adapter (the big one). It's some long setup here as I have a microsdcard enclosure plugged into regular usb adapter (for pc) and now this usbc to usb adapter. But it works! However, the c to micro usb adapter (the small one) doesn't work unfortunately.

I was testing this today, trying to connect a USB memory stick, and it didn't work with the USB on the Go adapter
Note 7 might need something different to be compatible with USB sticks
Mine worked no problem. With USB to USB-c adapter I plugged in a USB stick and it came up instantly. I even have a 6 in one card adapter that's USB I put I an SD card plugged it in and it came right up. Now the USB-C to micro USB adapter is not OTG certified I had to by one off Amazon that was so I could use my seek thermal camera that is a micro USB camera. With the Samsung provided adapter it will not work.
Well I know last time i tested mine it work fine then I picked it up in a safe location just in case I need it and used the one I bought on ebay call Rankie. Imo it could be a bad port as mention, could be a bad adapter, or something else. I have not tested it with my microsd card adapter to the usb adapter....
Fyi...plug device into the connector first then plug the connector with device attached to the phone.

Tried. Not working
I have a Micro USB OTG cable and tried to use it with my Type C to Micro USB adapter for connecting a USB flash drive to my Nexus 5x. It fails no matter what I do.
Anyone have a clue to what the problem could be? Both the adapter and my OTG cable works fine separately.

I accidentally bought one that is just an adapter for charging, and had to get a different one that works for OTG. The one I have that works is on Amazon, here.
Not all USB C to micro USB adapter will work as OTG adapter. I have two adapters which can charge/data but not OTG.
I bought something like this. Looks like usb 3.0 (more pins) and its working fine.

My adapter didn't work either. I bought a special cable, which works.
Buy a USB Type-C to USB-A female adapter, those microUSB to USB Type-C doesn't work with OTG.
