Photos to Flash Drive from iPad Pro I'm currently looking into getting an iPad Pro for college. I currently have a MacBook Air which I use frequently. I would love to get the IPad but I have no clue if flash drives are able to be used with the device for photo storage? I understand that files may be used but I'm still unsure of the photos.

If your iPad Pro has a Lightning port, you will need to use an Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter to directly connect USB devices to the iPad. This adapter has both a USB 3.0 Type-A connector and an additional Lightning port to supply power, from your Power Adapter, to both the iPad and connected device. The external Power Adapter must be rated at 12W or more.

If you have one of the newest iPad Pro models, with a USB-C connector, you may need to utilise a powered USB hub (i.e., it has its own source of power) - connecting both the iPad Pro and the storage device to ports on the hub.

To be recognised by iPadOS, the attached USB storage device must be formatted to FAT, FAT32, exFAT or APFS with a single data partition.

A friend of mine is using a SanDisk iXpand Flash Drive and he's very satisfied.
