Yes, I believe it would. Make sure what you buy gives a rated speed (5Gbps). There are adapter that only charge a device (I bought one I thought would transfer files but would not).

They also have this:

Be aware that if you use a "small adapter" such as the MicroCenter plugs that justashooter mentioned in reply 2, it may "block" the adjacent USBc port on the laptop.
I have a 2018 Mini, and found that the small adapters did that with the ports on the back of the Mini.

The short dongle/adapter cables DO NOT BLOCK adjacent ports...
