For some reason neither Y adapter provided by Nomad will allowed me to use a flash drive along with the nomad wireless charger.
I was able to plug both male ends of the Nomad charger into the female side of one of the Y adapters, which I then plugged into one of the front USB ports. I plugged the flash drive into the other front USB port.
Both sides of the charger work alone and when charging two devices simultaneously. The flash drive now also works.
My only concern is whether or not this is bad for the front USB port powering the Nomad charger. Flash drive is a 256 GB SanDisk CZ600 Cruzer USB 3.0 (from Costco). I have had this issue with all software versions released since early December 2019. I understand one side of adapter is power with the other power and data and have tried all combinations.
I am open to alternative parts to replace this if it is not safe. Please throw out some suggestions.
