Learn how to access files on external storage devices, such as thumb drives, hard drives, or card readers, with your iPad or iPhone.
Does your iPhone or iPad not have enough storage for you? Well, thankfully, despite the proprietary Lightning connector on iPhones and most iPads, you can still access files stored on an external drive. If you have large files you don't need on a day-to-day basis or just want to offload a bunch of pictures and videos and free up space, you can plug an external hard drive in and send those files across.
Every device that could update to iOS 13 or iPadOS 13 can also update to iOS 14/iPadOS 14, and iOS 15/iPadOS 15, so you can check out our list of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 compatible devices to see whether your device qualifies. Apple's Lightning port is slimmer than USB-C, perfect for iPhones and iPads. The connector, flatter in design, has exposed pins, whereas a USB-C connector encloses the pins. Lightning can handle roughly up to 12 watts of power, likely more, whereas USB-C supports up to 100 watts of power. All modern iPhones and most modern iPads have the Lightning port, except for newer iPad Pro and iPad Air models manufactured over the last two years.
If you have an Apple device with a Lightning connector and need to plug in an external device with either a USB-C or USB-A connector, one option is Apple’s Lighting to USB 3 Camera Adapter. This adapter lets you plug more than just external USB-C and USB-A camera devices into your Apple device. Note: To select multiple files or folders, tap the Select option in the upper-right corner, and then tap each file or folder you wish to manipulate.Step 2: Under Locations, tap the name of your external drive. In this example, it’s simply labeled Drive. On the iPad, the contents of your external device appear on the right. On the iPhone and the iPod Touch, the contents appear on the following screen.
Check the connection: Double-check that your devices are correctly plugged in with the appropriate plugs and adapters. If you have extra cords and adapters, try using them or plug into different ports if you can.
