There are plenty of well-known and hidden features in Apple® iOS and iPadOS®. One of the hidden features is the ability for users to plug in an external USB drive and access documents directly within the Files app of iPhone® and iPad® devices running iOS 13 and later. The benefit of doing this, especially on the iPad Pro, is enormous, as it adds virtually unlimited storage capacity for things such as photos, videos, emails, documents and spreadsheets, games and other personalised applications. iOS 13 can read any standard USB device that has been formatted with a compatible file system, has enough power to the device to allow it to work and is non-encrypted. As we all know too well, standard, everyday flash drives are easy targets for breaches, theft and the loss of confidential and personal data. Even all of Apple’s technical wizardry can’t prevent that from happening. However, encryption technology can. Encryption is the most trustworthy means of protecting any and all sensitive data stored on a USB drive. We’ll be using the DataTraveler® 2000 hardware-encrypted USB drive with a physical-based password keypad to demonstrate how to use an encrypted flash drive with an iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 device. Even the most confidential data will be secured and protected, and still be accessible while you are on the go. We’ll discuss two types of devices: iPhones and iPads with a Lightning® connector, and the iPad Pro which uses USB-C®. For units with a Lightning connector, you need: a Lightning-to-USB adapter which offers USB 3.0 support – such as Apple’s Lightning-to-USB 3 Camera Adapter – and a Lightning port pass-through for extra power. For an iPad Pro (USB-C), you need: a high-quality USB-C to USB-A adapter – such as the compact Kingston Nucleum™ with built-in cable, or an Apple adapter. (Note: Any future iOS or iPadOS devices with a USB-C port should work in the same way.) On a Lightning device, simply plug in the adapter, then plug both the DataTraveler 2000 and the power cord from the adapter into the wall. (It is important to note that the USB-A interface draws more power than the Lightning connector delivers, so be sure that enough power is being supplied.) Then, simply key in the PIN to unlock the data files on the drive, and voila! Protected files are now accessible. For an iPad Pro in landscape mode, the drive icon will appear in the sidebar automatically. In portrait orientation or on an iPhone, you can find the drive simply by tapping the browse icon on the bottom of the screen, which lists all of the device’s locations. Once the drive is available, the encrypted, secure information is ready to be viewed, copied, pasted or moved. Now with support for external drives, iOS takes your device to a whole new level. #KingstonIsWithYou
