Hello,

You will need Apple's Lightning to USB 3 Adapter.

iPadOS 13 supports the following disk formats with a GUID partition scheme:

* macOS Extended journaled — YES Read and Write

* APFS - NO

* FAT32 — SOME*

* exFAT — SOME**

* NTFS — NO

*iPadOS 13 supports solid state devices formatted as FAT32 such as a SD card. iPadOS 13 does not supports mechanical hard disks formatted as FAT32.

** iPadOS 13 supports disks formatted as exFAT as long as it was formatted with Disk Utility on a Macintosh. The disk cannot be formatted by Windows.
