I got a lighting cable but when I plug it into my ipad…nothing shows up in my files

I’m confused as to how you got this to work. My SSD starts blinking and doesn’t show up in the files app. Is this due to the Samsung security protection? How did you get yours to work?

Can you load and run apps from an external drive? I only have 64gig on my ipad and was hoping I could use an external drive to fix that problem.

Before adding a mouse, do I have to go to Touch ID & Passcode and turn on accessories? Is it necessary to do this?

Bro, this straight up does not work as the SSD has security protection, and the smasung app isnt on the ipad download store.

Hi, does it matter the specs of the iPad or the SSD? The features that are important to me are mass exporting photos from the iPad (to free up space for my grandma), but still be able to view those old exported photos when it is plugged in. I am looking to purchase those things now, so please let me know!

Hello, I set up password for T9 Samsung SSD and unlocking the disk works great on Macbook but when I connect the disk to iPad Pro it shows “read only disk” and show no files on the disk that were already written on it. This is because password is set up and I don’t know how to unlock T9 on iPad. There is no software from Samsung for iPad like PSSD to unlock the T9 disk on iPad. Can you help, please?

This does not work, at least in my case. I pulled a SSD from a dead laptop, put it in an enclosure, and connected the enclosure to my iPad Pro and it does not show up in locations. What am I doing wrong?

[boldlygo]

Hardly all you need to know ! How do you monitor how much space is left on the external drive

THIS GUY NEEDS TO STAY ON SUBJECT 👈🏽THE OTHER INFORMATION HE CAN LEAVE IN HIS GARAGE 😆

Hello, my current problem is that my SSD shows up but it is in read only so I can’t transfer any documents to it. How do I get past this?
