Your clear speech and explanation is excellent. Thanks.

Wow, so simple. I recently bought a used, 2nd gen iPad to function as a dedicated music reader device. I was all set to buy an "iPad external drive" when it occurred to me to research if I could use the many USB1 thum1b drives I have lying about. I already owned an adapter for my foot pedal for turning pages so I connected as you showed and VOILA! Thank you.

[jpsfsiy]

Thank you for a clear answer to a specific question.

[TheCliffzone]

I wasn't able to access my other files externally until I saw this video. You've taught me something since I'm learning something new each day. Can't thank you enough and this really helped me out!

I just got a new iPad Pro 12.9 ( 2021) I wanted to buy a flash drive of old radio shows ( Perry mason ) to listen to on my flight to UK 🇬🇧.
I had no idea how to approach this ! Thank you for a easy to explain video bc I’m super stupid about tech stuff!
Your accent was a huge plus, too! Could listen to you all day ! Anyhoo!

[nostalgiacanadiana]

Thank you so much for this! My computer is being fixed and couldn’t figure for the life of me how to upload my video from my iPad. This will save me this week 🙏🏻

[marchalee]

Your vedeo is awesome and very informative. Thanks

[grandmasterplank]

Love Scousers. Keep it rolling top dude.

[taylormadeevents]

Thanks for that. I bought a complete USB-C Hub to connect all sorts of media. It’s the same one advertised in the Apple Shop but, buy externally and you can buy it for 25% of the price Apple want. You read that right. Buy external of Apple and SAVE 75% on Apple price for exactly the same brand and item they are selling. Good video David with your happy smiling face and Liverpool accent. Reminds me of home. I now live in Thailand.

Pro Tip: You can open two File instances simultaneously and just drag files from one to another.

your clear speech and explanation is excellent

Thank you for this video. Will this work with an old Seagate expansion drive on my iPad Pro (12.9-inch) (5th generation)?
Edit: I’m delighted to say, I ordered this and it works with my old Portable Seagate Expansion Drive. I’m enjoying looking back over so many years.

Hi David, love your videos… We have an IPad Pro, and can not figure out how to get a card reader to work…

[oldfaithfuliii]

Thx for making it short and sweet it was very helpful so I gave you a 👍

[jrntucson]

Hi David! I would like to transfer pictures from a USB flash drive to the picture folder on the ipad pro 12.9. Will that work and how? Thank you so much!

[judysheehan]

life saver! I was looking how to access the ext... I had to search under file... thanks so much! :)

[georgweidmann]

David, like the presentation. However, when you have your JPEG “On My iPad” is there a way to get the JEPEG into your photo app?

[prixinc]

Can the iPad pro play pretty much every video file format on a USB stick? My Samsung galaxy tab s6 is giving me non stop issues and I am on the verge of tossing it for an iPad pro. Thank you so much for the straight to the point great video!

[OSW]

Found this by just browsing and I wasn't expecting a cheery Liverpool accent to greet me! Sláinte mate, great vid v helpful
