IPad Pro 2020 not recognising ext hard drive
My iPad Pro wont recognise my ext hard drive. Do I need any adapters for this to work? My hard drive has a usb c which is connected directly to the ipad but nothing is showing up in files.

Your HDD must only have a single data partition - and be formatted as FAT32, exFAT or APFS. Multiple data partitions and Microsoft proprietary formats (such as NTFS) are not support by iPadOS.
You must also ensure that the HDD has an adequate source of power other than the iPad. If the HDD does not have an integral power supply, you must use a powered USB hub.
The iPad alone cannot supply sufficient power to high-power USB devices.
