I can not see how much space is available on an external device using the files app on iPhone and/or iPad. Is there a work around or an app that can do this? I just want to see how much space I have left without having to plug into a laptop/computer.
iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi
Yes. Whilst iPadOS/iOS does not natively expose this information, there is at least one available App that can display this data - System Status Pro: HW Monitor:
https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/system-status-pro-hw-monitor/id401457165
The Storage Details page will show details of all mounted external filesystems and internal system partitions.
Here is an example of a 128GB USB device, connected via an Apple USB 3 Camera Adapter, formatted as exFAT:
You’ll note that the formatted available storage space is clearly displayed - along with total used.
I hope this is helpful in resolving your issue.

Hello,
This is a known problem. I ask that you please submit a bug report, using the following link, so Apple can address it in a future system update.
Is there an app that provides a temporary solution?
