So trying to connect a hard drive to the iPad
Basically the iPad can’t see it as in it doesn’t come up as an option under files
Have made sure the drives format is exfat , it’s a powered drive and plugged in etc
Any ideas
i had a 4tb portable drive that was full up
got a new external drive 8tb made sure it was formatted to exfat as I also use it on a windows laptop copied the data across to the new drive all fine and the windows laptop sees it etc , I now do most of my editing on the iPad so really need to get this to work , when I plug the drive in to the iPad it lights up etc but the iPad just doesn’t show it in files as it should , after about 10 minutes the drive powers down , am I missing something
