Ipad Pro 11” doesn’t recognize any flash drive through a usb-c to usb adapter

I purchased a usb-c to usb adapter from Apple to connect my ipad pro 11” with flash drives. However none of my flash drives are recognized in the FILES app. Current iOS is 13.3.

iPad Pro, iOS 12

Hello,


Most likely your drive is formatted in a way that is not compatible with iPad.


iPadOS 13 supports the following disk formats with a GUID partition scheme:

  • macOS Extended journaled — YES Read and Write
  • APFS - YES Read and Write
  • FAT32 — NO
  • exFAT — NO
  • NTFS — NO
