Is anyone else experiencing this?
After updating to iPadOS 18.2 my M4 iPad is no longer, consistently, recognizing my external SSD.
The only time I see the SSD is when I restart the iPad, it reappears in the Files app, and once I click on it SSD, it disappears from the Files app.
iPad Pro, iPadOS 18
iPadOS 18.1.1 is the current production release of iPadOS.
As you are using a beta version of iPadOS, you should have full expectation of encountering bugs and issues. Unfortunately, the ASC Terms of Use disallows any discussion of beta software within these User forums. The only permitted advice that can be offered here is how to return your iPad to the current production release.
