It looks like I don’t need the lightning usb3 camera adaptor. I was able to connect a 16 gb flash drive to the hub and it worked. It won’t work with a 128 gb flash drive. I think this is the case with the lightning usb3 camera adaptor.

Re: External drives was Documents 7 review: Free iOS file manager puts Apple’s Files app to shame
Yes, I have a four port USB powered hub that I plugged into the adapter that was plugged into the ipad mini. This port has a switch to turn on and off each port. I had only one port turned on. Nothing happened when it was connected to my ipad mini. I did plug in a usb keyboard and it did work. I got the idea of trying a fflash drive after reading the following review: Apple-Lightning-USB-Camera-Adapter 5.0 out of 5 stars The hidden gem of Apple accessories September 12, 2017 Kids, this is the real deal. People make fun of Apple and their overpriced dongles, but this thing is magic. No really, I can't think of another tiny piece of hardware that has so drastically expanded what I can do with a single port. This dongle hides behind the name "Camera Adapter", as if it were a mere tool for camera enthusiasts. I don't care about cameras at all, I've used this to: - Attach a USB keyboard for use with my iPad Pro - Connect a Blue Yeti USB Microphone to my iPad and record vocals - Attach a USB MIDI Controller which then seamlessly hooks into Garageband's Synth instruments - Connect to a USB-to-Ethernet hub and download stuff to my iPhone/iPad over Ethernet - Oh, by the way, that hub I mentioned has 3 USB ports on it, I can connect stuff to **all three of them** and download over Ethernet at the same time. - And yeah, maybe I'll try it out with a camera someday when I'm done rocking out with all these other peripherals... I wonder if I could plug in an Electric-Guitar-to-USB adapter... Anyway, this thing is insane. You might have an awesome iPad, but until you get this, you're not using it right.

Hello, I have what Amazon calls a “ [Apple MFI Certified] OMARS® Meteorite Lightning Flash Drive USB 3.0 32GB Memory Expansion for Apple iPhone iPod iPad & Computer Mac Laptop PC ” This device has a built in 32Gb SD card. It also has a rechargeable battery that can be charged via a PC via the USB port on the unit. The device has two ports one at either end. A standard USB for connecting to a PC and at the other end a Lightning Connector. When you first use the device you are required to download an app from the App Store. The app calls itself I-Drive. Using this app you can access the device. Unfortunately however it is invisible to Apple’s Files App. No idea why.Sent from my iPhone > On 5 Jan 2020, at 14:52, Richard Turner wrote: > > > Russ, > Are you saying you have a USB powered hub that you plugged into the adapter > that was plugged into the iPhone? > That means you are adding multiple drives at once, which computers handle > fine; I am not sure iPhones or maybe even iPads can handle that. > Have you called Apple Accessibility who maybe could answer your question > fairly quickly? 877-204-3930 > > Richard > > 🖖 Live long and prosper > > > Check out my web site at: www.turner42.com > > From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Russ > Kiehne > Sent: Sunday, January 5, 2020 6:45 AM > To: viphone@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: Documents 7 review: Free iOS file manager puts Apple’s Files app > to shame > > I tried pluging in a flash drive where I got the message: accessory requires > too much power into a usb powered hub. when I connected the usb powered hub > into my device nothing happened. > > From: Ryan Mann > Sent: Saturday, January 4, 2020 9:32 PM > To: viphone@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: Documents 7 review: Free iOS file manager puts Apple’s Files app > to shame > > Note that with some drives, you will get a message that the accessory > requires too much power.

Russ, Are you saying you have a USB powered hub that you plugged into the adapter that was plugged into the iPhone? That means you are adding multiple drives at once, which computers handle fine; I am not sure iPhones or maybe even iPads can handle that.

External drives, was RE: Documents 7 review: Free iOS file manager puts Apple’s Files app to shame
As I understand it, with an iPhone, any flash drive should work if it does not require power. The iPhone does not have enough power to run an external drive that requires power. So, if it is a multi-gigabyte flash drive that is normally used with a computer, it probably won’t work with an iPhone, unless your adapter allows the iPhone to be plugged into power while using that drive. As for accessing the drive from Voice Dream Reader, I would using the File Browser portion of the Add File dialog in Voice Dream. I have not tried one of these adapters yet, but from all my reading and conversations with folks, I think that is what you would do. I use that to access my OneDrive when I want to add something to Voice Dream Reader from there.

Whether it’s cloud storage, network-attached devices, or remote servers, Documents 7 makes file management a snap. While Documents has always been a very capable PDF reader, version 7.0 introduces an option to turn the app into a full-fledged editor as well. After upgrading to an annual subscription ($50 per year), Documents 7 unlocks a full complement of professional tools, allowing users to edit, convert, and reduce the size of PDF files.

I can't comment on the accessibility of Documents 7 but based on the list of features it touts, I suspect it would be difficult to design a user interface friendly to Voiceover users.

Whether it’s cloud storage, network-attached devices, or remote servers, Documents 7 makes file management a snap. While Documents has always been a very capable PDF reader, version 7.0 introduces an option to turn the app into a full-fledged editor as well. After upgrading to an annual subscription ($50 per year), Documents 7 unlocks a full complement of professional tools, allowing users to edit, convert, and reduce the size of PDF files. If you already own PDF Expert 6, those editing features are available free of charge in Documents 7. Unfortunately, three advanced tools recently added to PDF Expert 7 do not get shared, so the only way to customize the Favorites toolbar or convert and compress PDF files is to pay for another annual subscription. That stinks, but Readdle offers a discounted upgrade to PDF Expert owners ($10 for the first year). For the moment, this is the only in-app purchase offered—everything else is absolutely free. Documents 7 can effortlessly transfer files between iOS devices and personal computers using any web browser. Bottom line For those underwhelmed by the built-in Files app, do yourself a favor and install Documents 7, the free file manager worthy of being installed on every iOS device.
