I want to use a Samsung Tablet whilst travelling as a conduit for downloading photo images from my Camera to an External Hard Drive.

I propose to plug a photo card reader and an EHD into the docking station then connect the docking station to the Tablet via USB-c to transfer the photos for storage.

 

Is this feasible please or will it not work due to incompatibility issues between the Android tablet and the docking station?

 

All advice welcome.

 

thanks.

Hi @Rarebird, unfortunately Samsung do not make docking stations in Australia so I'm unable to confirm whether this would work. 

An alternative you could test is:

SD card into tablet > Type-C cable of external hard drive into tablet > Use My Files app to transfer between folders. 

Notes: I suggest using a copy/paste method when transferring files rather than 'move' or cut/paste in case the disconnection is interrupted and files are corrupted. 

Let us know how you go!
