Mayvonne12,

While we can't make any specific suggestions, this is the adapter ( or something similar ) that is sold on the online store that you would need for the current iPad you have: USB -C to USB Adapter - Apple

Take care.

That's a great question Mayvonne12,

The options might vary, depending on the USB accessory. We recommend looking for accessory or adaptors that you know are made to work with iPhone. The following page offers guidance that may help: Identify counterfeit or uncertified Lightning connector accessories

Once a drive is connected, the following pages offers guidance on available options:

Using USB accessories with iOS and iPadOS

Connect external devices or servers with Files on iPad

We hope this helps!
