Playing movies from flash drive on iPad Pro 2018 I have a 2018 11” iPad Pro running the latest iPadOS. I want to be able to store movies (mostly M4V & MP4 files ‘ripped’ from DVDs, together with movies downloaded from YouTube, DailyMotion etc) on a USB Flash drive or similar. I then want to be able to simply plug the device into my iPad and play the movies from the device without copying / moving them to the iPad. Can I do this? - and - would something like the “SanDisk Ultra Dual Drive Go for USB Type-C devices” be a suitable external device to use? Thanks in advance for your help!
