My objective is to download PDF files to an exfat formatted flash drive from my iPad. I will need a lightning to USB adapter. When I look at the Internet, all I see at Apple stores is 1) Lightning to USB Camera Adapter and 2) Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter. Questions are:

Is Lightning to USB Adapter one and the same as Lightning to USB Camera Adapter? If yes will it accomplish my objective as cited above?
Is USB 3 one and and the same as USB-C?

Thank you in advance.

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 3rd Gen, Wi-Fi

1. Lightning to USB Adapter and Lightning to USB Camera Adapter are one and the same, per Apple Phone Support.

2. USB 3 is a standard for USB devices, it is normally a port in laptops and dictates how fast you can transfer data over a USB cable, compared to older standards, e.g., USB 2. USB-C refers to a type of physical connection on modern devices, e.g., USB cable of iPhone 12 Pro as opposed to the old cable now known as USB-A cable.
