IPad connection to USB Flashdrive

I want to transfer files between an external flash drive and an Apple iPad Pro the Lightning to USB-3 Camera Adapter doesn't provide enough power. Is there any other adapter I can use?


Thanks for any help!

When using the Apple Lightning to USB3 Camera Adapter with USB Storage devices, ensure that you have also connected your iPad Power Adapter to the Lighting port of the Adapter.


The Power Adapter must be rated at 12W (i.e., 2.4A @5V) or greater - 20W/30W being recommended.
