ipad os and external hard drive

with the new ipad os is it possible to keep your movies (from itunes) on an external hard drive?

(i travel a lot and would like to keep all my movies on hand)


i know the ipad does not replace a laptop but my laptop is primarily for work.

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi, Cell

I don’t believe that any iTunes content (be it Music or Movies) are “exposed” to the File App. As such, you won’t be able to copy the content onto external media. As such, iPadOS still enforces DRM (Digital Right Management) on copyrighted content.
