Re: External drives was Documents 7 review: Free iOS file manager puts Apple’s Files app to shame
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.

Have you tried and plugged your USB drive directly into your iPad instead of through the hub? Also, I assume you are using a USB flashdrive and not an external traditional hard drive with platters since I assume they will indeed require too much power even for an iPad.

The other end has both a USB port and a lightning port. You plug the thumb drive into the USB port. You plug the phone charging chord into the lightning port.

Having said this, I just tried my Apple Camera adapter with a 2 TB Seagate USB drive which on a laptop certainly does not need or can be plugged into any power source and it did not work and neither did it work when I tried an older Kingston DataTraveller 2.0 USb drive with an 8Gb capacity. The DataTraveller was even identified correctly, e.g. “Could not use USB accessory DataTraveller 2.0” My iPhone 8 was charged to 93% and the result was the same when I plugged in the USB drive while my iPhone was on it’s wireless charging mat.

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.

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.

In that case, you just need to do the following: Unplug the lightning to USB adapter from the phone. Plug the adapter into an electrical outlet. Plug the adapter back into the phone.
