The thing I really want to see more are USB-C thumb drives. It seems they’re all usb-A or large SSD drives for USB-C. A tiny keychain sized C would be awesome.
Dont worry though, because after slashing their price globally to sell the defective models fast, they released a firmware update for one of them and not the others.
I have a couple dual connector drives. A 3.0 on one end, and then C (or micro) on the other. Sandisk I think, maybe Samsung. But I do understand those are somewhat bulky for an everyday carry Keychain item compared to what I’m picturing you’re asking for. It does seem stranger I’m not finding as many mouse dongle size C drives as I’d expect given how many there are for A
I also have a sd/micro SD adapter that has C on one end, and A on the other that can fold away to reveal a micro. That one is great for camera pic transfers. That one is vogek which I don’t expect to be a real company
I have this one and I use it exactly as you describe, when 2 card are connected it recognise them both as separate drives.
So I can backup my camera photos (SD card) to the micro SD card just using my phone via the USB C port. Then I can connect it to my desktop computer with the USB A end.
With everybody and their grandma shoving their cloud into your face, I’m happy there still are flash drives for sale.

SanDisk has an entire line of USB C thumb drives, they are my to-go choice
Sandisk is also still selling their portable ssds that are failing at an alarming rate and wiping peoples data.

I had no idea about this, thanks for sharing
Samsung has ones that are dual side, so both USB-A and -C. Really helpful for moving files between phone and PC while still having backup storage.
I should read replies before I comment. I said the same thing. Great little drive
Yes, they are great.

Ooh I like the idea of the micro reader with a/c/micro! If I keep a card in it it can act as a thin drive and become multipurpose!
Edit: I did some AliExpress digging and found this thing that looks like a pretty sleek solution https://a.aliexpress.com/_mq2Ck8i

Quite a nifty device

I have a sandisk one that’s both usb c and a
Silicon Power does have some solid options with small A and C sticks. I have even some with micro usb inside the A connector in addition to C.
Samsung has a nice one that has both A and C. And it’s USB 3.1.
I’ve got a few cloud-connected flash drives I’d be happy to send your way.
You need to try my grandma’s cloud, it will make you feel like a new person. Possibly a much worse person but a new one none the less
