You can't, that's to power the Hub. The PSU that comes with the Max is USB-C.

The USB-C power is for use in EU countries where that's now the mandated adapter (note the phone port marked for Italia/RoI). As @FLC indicates, the operating system of the Hub itself does not support USB storage or device connectivity, and anything plugged into it will not appear on the local network.

@BeccaW you can use either the power supply input or the USB C for power but you cannot use the USB C for any other purpose.unfortunately.
