Can I connect a USB Flash Drive to iPAD using iPAD's USB cable?

The camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos into the Photos app. Can you not email the documents to yourself or use the cloud or Dropbox ?

The iPad will not see the flash drive on the hub. Your best bet is to transfer the files to your iPad either directly by computer or by eMail as suggested.

No, the kit only supports the copying of files/videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support the copying off of any content. Some apps support the copying of files/documents to/from a computer via your wifi network

Why not!

Here's a flash drive that works both ways with iOS - Mac/PC and has an app that it is used with it for iOS.

The app is called iFlashdrive.

It seems somewhat expensive but it is definately worth it in the long run.

$99.99 for an 8 gig

$149.99 for a 16 gig

$199.99 for th 32 gig

They also have an FTP drive that you can plug in any USB storage device and connect via wifi with the device, but you do not need to be connected to conventional wifi or 3G, etc. To me this sounds like a better option. It retails for $99.99 at http://www.hypershop.com/CloudFTP-by-HyperDrive-s/218.htm.

Good luck, and I hope this helps.

CORRECTION: The app is Free.

Do you know if the iflashdrive can be used to move content from the iphone 4 to a pc. original pc crashed and lost everything on itunes so all the content I have is on my phone. If I connect directly with new itunes I will lose all the data from my iphone. Just hoping that by using the iflashdrive I can connect to the iphone and move my content back to my new itunes. Here's hoping.

Best solution I've found: Dropbox.

And many people think it's a good one. However, six months ago, nareshfromhudson, to who you replied, said it wasn't always an option.

There is a product called the iStick which is being released in August 2014 which will be an iPhone/iPad compatible flash drive. Read more about it here.

IIt's the problem with ipad. Another tablet already allow you to upload and read. In fact the price more cheaper than ipad

I linked my iPad 2 IOS 9.2 to a memory stick flash drive with a USB hub in the middle. I had to name the folder DCIM the subfolder eg. 121___10 and the photos i wanted to upload as eg IMG_1234.JPG or P3100029.JPG - as they are in a camera.
