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. 


More information about connection to external devices and storage can be found in the iPad User Guide - along with other frequently overlooked information about your iPad and iPadOS:

NB: iPadOS does not support formatting of any external USB storage devices. If your USB storage device requires formatting, you need to use a PC or Mac computer.
