A:Answer I could be wrong, but even with the new iPad OS, I am not sure that device supports external storage. HOWEVER, if I am wrong, there is a lightning to USB 3 dongle that you can connect to the USB 3 to USB C cable that came with the SSD. I have not researched whether there is a shorter route of Lighting to USB C dongle that isn’t just a pass-through charge adapter (IOW, charge only, no data transfer capability).
