why can I not eject a USB drive from my M2 iPad PRO? you're kidding me that I have to turn it off to safely eject a drive... this is like 1997 all over again, you're Mail chicken Blocking Apple, and I don't like it! Plus, I almost lost very important folders, because although the iPad says it copied over, it ACTUALLY DIDNT! So unlike apple of the past, where if it's supposed to do something, it friggin does it. Not any more.

Hello makaman,
We'll be happy to share with you the information we found for using an external device with your iPad Pro.
If you go to Connect external storage devices to iPad - Apple Support, you'll find at the end of step 2 it says the following:
* Disconnect the drive or card reader: Remove it from the charging port on iPad.
So you shouldn't have to power down your iPad Pro to remove the external drive from the port.
If you need help, let us know what, if any, message(s) appeared when trying to remove the USB drive.
Take care!
