How to use external storage with an iPhone or iPad
Well, thankfully, despite the proprietary Lightning connector on iPhones and most iPads, you can still access files stored on an external drive. Apple made this possible with the release of iOS 13 in 2019, adding native support for external storage devices using both Lightning and USB-C connectors. In this article, we’ll show you what you need to get your iPhone or iPad working with an external drive, including which Apple devices it’s compatible with and what adapters you may need. Apple introduced the Lightning port in 2012 as part of the company’s goal to make the iPhone slimmer. The 9th-generation base model iPad, which Apple still currently sells, continues to use the old Lightning port. Before unlocking your iPad or iPhone and jumping into the software, you must establish a physical connection between your external storage device and your tablet or smartphone. For example, a thumb drive might also use a Lighting connector, allowing it to plug directly into iPhones and most iPads. Or, an external hard drive might use a USB-C connector, allowing it to plug directly into iPad Pro devices.
Step 1: Tap to open the Files app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. Step 3: Tap any folder or file with your finger to open it or tap and hold with your finger on any visible folder or file to open a submenu for additional management options, including copying, duplicating, moving, deleting, renaming, tagging, and favoriting. Windows assumes the NTFS file format, but that isn’t the case with Mac and iOS. Either consult the Apple Support website or talk to an expert at your local in-store Genius Bar.
With this in mind, your iPhone or iPad can act as a great solution for viewing or editing those files while you’re on-the-go and away from a computer.
How Do You Connect External Storage to Your iPhone & iPad?
Earlier this week, we announced our new iOS & iPadOS app called Copy That. It lets you easily copy photos and videos from your iPhone or iPad to an external storage drive. Now that we’ve made it easy to back up your mobile media, only one question remains: How do you connect external storage to your iPhone & iPad?
Also, your iPad/iPhone doesn’t put out a lot of power—it works with thumb drives, but with anything larger, you’ll need to use a disk that has its own power supply.
If your USB disk doesn’t have a USB-C connector, you can use an adapter cable. We recommend Apple’s Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter—it includes an additional Lightning port so you can keep your iPhone/iPad connected to power during the copy process—copying large numbers of files can take some power.
You will then need to respond to the standard login questions such as Server name, Guest or Registered User, Password, etc. Apple’s security sandboxing doesn’t allow enough access to support Copy That’s features.
