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 and other proprietary device formatting are 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.
