IOS 13 and iPadOS, Formatting USB Drive

1

Read some more info today about supported files systems in the upcoming IOS 13 and iPadOS. I remember reading that NTFS is not supported, but, there was nothing said about how to format or reformat a attached USB drive. Anyone heard the answer to that yet? I have several 1TB USB drives laying around, (because of MacSparky :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::innocent:), some new, never used, that I want to bring into play when the new updates drop this fall. Of course, I am 100% iPhone and iPad these days, so there is no Mac to fall back to.

No word yet on formatting capabilities in iOS 13.

FYI there’s an interesting thread about the general topic here.

How does one get insight on how much space is on one’s USB hard drive when connected to an iPad Pro?

There is no way for me to see how much space is on that drive, it’s maddening. I just got a message “There is not enough space.”

Well, thanks(!)

Anyone? :slight_smile:
