By micro SD to USB "adapter", I meant "reader". Sandisk calls it a reader.

I bought all 3 as a "kit" from Costco but Amazon has them too.
I use an OTG cable like one of these, under $5

You just have to find out if your tablet or phone support OTG, not all do. The Micro SD cards are formatted as FAT32 which is why they can be read by devices like phones or tablets via OTG.
To do file transfers like copy or move, I use ES or Total Commander file managers & QuickPic gallery app v3.491 (doesn't use cloud interface nor want to update to the latest versions which are not as good?).

I actually have a StarTech OTG cable that I bought from B&H Photo. This is what I tried to use with my Galaxy Tab S the other day to connect my X-E2. So, I went online as suggested and searched on "Galaxy Tab S and OTG" plus "Galaxy Note 4 and OTG". I actually found several YouTube videos on how to use the OTG connector with each device. But I'm not getting the icon that they all show coming up on the Tab S or Note 4when an OTC device is connected. They also showed a PNY jump drive connected to the OTC cable and were using the file manager that comes from Samsung to move files back and forth. I have the same jump drive and connected it but the file manager did not show it. So either the OTC functionality was removed when both devices went to the latest Android operating system, 5.1.1, or I have to turn on something in setup that I have not found yet. I will chase that down with Samsung.
About the microSD cards. Why only micro SD cards? I actually have several Sandisk 32GB microSD cards that I bought when I owned a Nikon 1 V3 and I have a 64GB microSD card in each of my Samsung devices. In my X-E2 I use Sandisk 32GB Extreme SDHC cards and I saw this card reader at B&H Photo that has a microUSB connector and reads a number of different types of cards. Wouldn't it work just as well.

Having not much else to do, I talked to Samsung tech support and both my Galaxy Tab S and Galaxy Note 4 are OTG compatible and I should immediately see the connector listed in the storage info in the setup app and also in their file manager. So it looks like the problem may be with the OTG connector I got from B&H. They also told me that I can use any card reader with a microUSB male connector or any USB card reader through the OTG connection. They said I can also use SD, SDHC, and SDXC cards; doesn't have to be microSD.
So as soon as the Christmas madness is over, I'm heading to BestBuy for a new OTG connector and to see what they have in card readers. Thanks to the both of you for your help and advice.
You probably know this already now, but both the Note 4 and Tab S are OTG compatible as I own both too. I currently using the OTG cable that came with my Nokia N8 years ago! It does seem to be sensitive to which cable you're using - I've had several experiences of it not connecting properly or disconnecting too easily - in my case this was down to the micro usb cable and not the OTG adapter.
