iPad OS 15 photos not showing up on external memory card

Hello,


Since upgrading to iPadOS 15, when I attach a memory card to my IPad Pro no photos show up in files, either raw or .jpg. They are there when viewing on the camera and also on Windows devices.


Any suggestions or fixes? I’ve tried force restarting the iPad and reconnected the card and external usb hub many times. I’ve never had an issue importing photos on this card prior to iPadOS 15.


iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Update: plugging the SD card into a MacBook Pro, where the photos were visible and able to be downloaded, and then plugging it back into the iPad Pro, now they are visible and able to be downloaded there too.


Who knows why it works, but it fixed it.
