Hello,


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



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

  • macOS Extended journaled — YES Read and Write
  • APFS - Coming in iPadOS 14
  • 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.
