iPadOS Files & USB Drive Preview

SPONSOR: Go to and get $100 off the eero base unit and 2 beacons package, and 1 year of eero Plus, enter VECTOR at checkout!

With iPadOS — and, yes, an iPhone and even an iPod touch running iOS 13 — you can finally access external files, not just photos, not just videos, but honest-to-unix external documents, assets, and anything else, just by plugging in a USB drive, stick, even SD or Compact Flash card. You can even open photos and video directly in editing apps and access SMB shares right in the Files app.

With some caveats, limitations, and, of course, adapters. Hey, this is still iOS we’re talking about here.
