usbc thumbdrive
I have this Lexar 128 gb Usbc/ usb thumb drive that when I plug it into my 5th gen iPad (2022), I get nothing. Is there something that I need to do to use this?

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.
Some additional information can be found here:

To be recognised by iPadOS, the attached USB storage device must be formatted to FAT, FAT32, exFAT, APFS or HFS+ with a single partition. Microsoft NTFS is not supported. Formatting and partitioning, if required, must be performed using a separate computer; iPad does not provide any facilities to format an external storage device.
