I bought one of these based on your video...I should have researched more. Connect any drive? Only if the drive is formatted fat or ntfs. No mac formatted drives. My most recent cameras, Nikon z7 and Panasonic G9, format their cards exFat. This unit won't read them either.
CRAIG EDWARDS that’s a real shame, thank you for the information. Regards Rob
I have a WD my passport external drive an it won’t read it. Any way I can fix that?
BUNDY LOC hello Bundy, what are you reading from ? If your using say iPad IOS it read fine over wifi. WD app maybe help over come some issues.
I have a gnarbox, does the same thing works pretty well.
You can reformat to MAC compatible file system. You would need a computer and a software program to do it. It takes awhile and requires patience.
does this only work with pictures and videos or can it work with documents; pdf, word?
Up up
Cause I need the answer
Yes it work work but no need, add those documents to anyone of a hundred cloud storage places, iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, One Drive, Droplr...etc!
@@DocRock That... Isn't... A.... Solution....
Doc Rock ...not everyone has 24/7 access to the Internet, or the connection is really slow, when traveling.
Will it let me transfer my mp4 movies from sd card to the iPad??
I bought it and tested it out. I had a big problem because my external HDDs weren’t recognized by any means from my iPad Pro. Can verify this thing works perfectly and I have full transfer of files capability now. You saved me a lot of time and money my man! Keep it up!
Yea. Direct connection wont work. There are a few ways to make the ext hd work.
1. Buy OTG adapter to connect
2. Buy a USB hub (this is a hit and miss)
3. Get this ravpower hub
I just got an iPad Pro for my photography business and I also have external drive.....this is so awesome. I’ll be ordering mine because the other options are way to much time and you still need a laptop which I’m trying to get away from. Thank you so much
OMG this is exactly what I have been looking for for the last 2 years! This will be a game changer for me! Thank You!
Does this work on other iPads as well, or does it have to be a Pro?
Just READ what Ravpower itself says about the product on Amazon:
Please note:
1) Due to the limitation of the Apple iOS system, you can ONLY access the Photos folder on your iPad/iPhone; File hub is currently unable to sync with media files stored in iTunes to USB storage devices due to digital rights management (DRM).
So, just one question: CAN I copy (txt pdf etc) files from the FilesFolder to the external SSD, or can I NOT?
a while ago Seagate came out with a hard drive that has its own app, wifi, and internal battery just so you can do this in an all inclusive package, i wouldn't bother with the adapter unless you have a specific hard drive you want to use. i think sandisk also has a wireless flash drive that does this.
Or you could get the 2tb Western Digital wireless hard drive and forget the hub. It also has a SD card reader built in.
Yes, that is part of another video I'm working on. I have the 4TB WD My Passport Pro. The main difference is that there are more steps involved to getting your data to the iPad with the WD hard drive.
I 've been using the Seagate wireless drives for years. The problem is, once the drive is full, you are done. But with this hub, you can connect on an unlimited amount of drives. Also, this supports sd cards, as well.
would that work with the 10,5 2017 ipad pro?
@@PixelPi13 of course, as the matter of fact, works with any ipad btw
@@lmazeas thank you :)
This is pretty cool! Thanks for sharing this with me before I made a big mistake! Lol. I am NOT spending the extra bucks to the 1tb iPad pro. I'll get the 64gb version and then get this device! Thanks Jared!
Diski by Portronics allows to connect a microsd card to ipad via lightning port and an app - iusb pro. It works well with ipad pro 2015 12.7 inch, iOS 12.
Can you connect NTFS HDD with this RAV POWER???? 😢
I have a Seagate 5tb and I wanna connect it to my IPad pro 12.9 2020. IOS 14.
Something to definitely add to. My IPad Pro workflow. Thank you for the video!
Will lumafusion be able to pull files off the external with this setup?
pedalandypedal Same question I have. Was using the GNARBOX with LumaFusion and it was working great, but seems a recent iOS update has caused it not to work correctly according to GNARBOX support.
pedalandypedal same question
Can you print from the iPad through this directly with the printer without going through computer?
Excellent video... Question. Can you use this device for the newish IPad that came out in March Non iPad Pro?
Thank you just what I needed. Finally can access my files from my flash drive!!
OMG thank you I've been looking for a solution like this! Can't thank you enough!
You're welcome!!
Ok jarred, I got the RAV power and it works great. It took me awhile to figure out the WiFi. Also a lot of my stuff saved won’t go onto my iPad for various reasons. Thanks,
If you have LTE can you connect to the drive while also still having internet. Or do I have to disconnect from the WiFi it produces to use the LTE on my IPad Pro.
Just got a new iPad Pro. This is great!
Thank you, very informative. Nice to know about the Reve.
Would this work on a iPad Mini 4? I would like to load up photos from my camera and store them on an external hard drive. Thanks
Well constructed video for iPad Pro users
This was very helpful with me transfering pictures from my iPad Pro to my external harddrive but why won't it transfer my RAW files from my iPad to my external harddrive? Thank you for this video tho. Please help if you can.
cgsr1972 yeah I was going to buy this but not good photo workflow if it can’t copy RAW files. Any answer to this Jerrod?
that seems like a big deal if this is meant to be able to replace a computer....although i have the 2019 one I was really hoping to travel with it and somehow get my photos from my digital slr to a hardrive using the tablet to transfer them but if it cant transfer raw files it is absolutely useless. why have a great quality screen and then not let you move around the best quality photos. Looks like wont be traveling without a pc after all. if this is right it is a pretty big oversight by apple, if that is the reason it wont do it.
Christine Walsh I’m transporting photos easily from my canon 7d into my iPad Pro (2018). Just get a USB to USB C adaptor, plug the camera in, and open your photos. Go to import. Easy.
@@captainradio5894 thank you very much! it is harder than i thought changing over to mac stuff than thought. so all help gratefully accepted. :)
Thank you so much! Headed to pick up the RavPower router!
Great video. Sorry if this is a dumb question, but can you also transfer/edit etc Excel, Word, PDF documents in this way and with this device? Cheers
you could just transfer it to your device and edit it from there
Hi Jared, Thanks for this video I can use this. I have a question off subject, I'm trying to find a solution for a paper I'm writing. I have a 2016 model ipad pro 9.7 and use ibooks for reading and there are some diagrams I need to use in my paper which is/are on my PC in MS Words. How can I copy the diagrams to MS Words. Thanks for any help Jared.
Is it still limited to Photos and Videos like you get when you plug harddrive directly into usb-c port? Or do you get access to music, documents, etc?
You can access any file type the iPad can open.
@@jeradhilltech what does that mean, Previously the iPad can only open audio or video file
@@MyCrimsonMischief yeah, one of the things that makes people mad about iOS is that if you plug external storage in, it opens the Photos app basically. They don't want it to be easy to avoid buying music and videos from iTunes without relying on a computer. IOS will allow support for SSDs, Etc. if the developer's have an app. So the question really is does Apple allow third parties to completely avoid their limitations they usually create or is iOS still in the way? Lol
What about music...
StateofTech ....any file, such as a procreate file, can be copied over to the SSD?
:D Another case of the Apple "it just works" (-->translation: we make it as hard and proprietary as possible and use it to squeeze more money out of you)
Utter nonsense but they are the best... at least on tablets. All the rest is... meh.
One of the reason why ipad or iphone last longer compared to android in terms of performance.
Will this work for the iPad 6th generation 2018?
Will this work with older iPads, like the iPad 2 that I am using to view this video? I know mine is slower than my wife's Pro but still I could use some more storage.
Dave K8WPE
David J. Wilcox did you try it???
Excellent and very helpful tip. Thanks so much for posting.
Thanks for the video, will get one to fix my iPad Pro storage issue:-)
the important question I want to know is.... Can you move the files from the drive to another app? For example VLC on your iPad? or any file into Documents by Readle which I use as my file manager?
Can I use this to back up non media files form my ipad pro 2018 e.g. word, excel, powerpoint, outlook emails etc?
I'm curious about this too - looking at the quick screens, it seems to be very media focused rather than any documents...
He's accessing 4K videos and photos, quickly, so I'm betting documents can be accessed too.
I have a 2T drive connected to my router and it contains a variety of items, all equally accessible. This is just a smaller setup of mine!
Thank you for this video. I've been using an android tablet for years but have been looking at the new iPad Pro, and wasn't sure how to get access to my files on external memory cards and such. This will save me a bit of money because I won't have to get the 1TB model. 👍🏽👍🏽
Thanks for the video! Very helpful and informative!
Hi there, extremely helpful video. I recently tried to connect my ssd drive to iPad Pro 2017 thru an apple lightning to usb3 adaptor. It connects very well.
However if I try to connect my LG 1tb hdd drive, it pops up but does not open folders maybe due to lack of power. This drive works well on my windows laptop thru the same cable. Is it that the hdd is able to draw more power from my laptop to fire up the drive, but can’t draw enough power from iPad to do the same?
If yes, any suggestions on how to make it possible?
Thanks for the video, would I be able to connect an SD card and transfer it over the hard drive directly, instead of storing to IPad first?
yes, there is a sd to usb (hard drive)
Great video! Thanks for the info!
Great vid, I didnt know that this was even possible, thanks!
Good video. Can you use the card reader to transfer files from an sd card to a connected HDD without connecting to an Ipad?
Does this also work on the normal iPad 2018? And it is only the wifi variant does it also work without internet?
I think it does but I want to be sure
I got a problem with my screenshots because I nearly got 5700 and thats way too much because it takes more than 80GB of my 128GB iPad if it’s not in the cloud so I really need to know that
And i don’t want to buy the Apple variant because it costs more than 300€
Oh and i need to know if that is available in Germany because I’m living there!
Very informative! Thanks Jared.
can you move files from sd card directly to the hard drive?
Yes you can.
how long does it takes to copy photo 4gb from ipad to external hdd by ravpower? thanks for sharing
Hopefully this is the one I am looking for. I will try in Amazon.
Great video man. Thanks for this. Planning on getting the new iPad after the holidays. This helped a lot on my decision.
this works on any device....how does this make you want to buy an ipad only...….
Michael Leonard Spend the extra money for the iPad. Gizmos and gadgets are quirky and often don’t perform like advertised. You can do the same as above with most routers that have USB ports and offer local cloud share as an option. My main iPad is 256gb. I now wish I would have held out for the 1tb.
Can i send files from Photoshop etc. that i make on iPad? (Like drawings, sketches, 3D models)?
I spent the extra money and get the iPad Pro 12.9 1TB also comes with two extra gigs of ram that’s only good for navigating the 1TB if I’m not mistaken. It’s an investment that’s pretty much how I look at it, it’s 2019 going into 2020 I think the goal is to carry less. Besides with the new update they’re going to fix this issue with external drives.
Well the 1tb also have 6gb of ram, which can be better for video and photo editing
That is a well done and informative video. Gods richest blessings upon you! Thanks mate.
That's even more stuff to carry around! People buy iPad for the portability, in this case why not just get a laptop?
Pls post what hardware you currently use. I have laptop & iPad- can see good reasons to have this option.
Really valid question @Hugh Williams. I was thinking the same thing.
@@JimzAuto Surface Pro. I can just plug the external drive into the USB port and see the drive directly. No extra fiddly bits and I don't have to use a special app to move files around or watch videos...
Oh. and it has a pen so I can draw.
And it's light and compact with a high res screen.
And it runs a full OS, so I'm not restricted in what my software choices are (in fact, I can run MacOS on it).
But hey - 'not an iPad'... or 'OMG it's Windows!!!'
I get it.
I have an older Rev, and it does work. What app you choice, makes the difference though.
Hi!, a bit confused with this device...just like to ask you: i got a Nikon Z6 new mirrorless camera that use XQD card ( from Sony) and i transfer my files to an ipad using a XQD card reader adapter ( by Sony too),., so my question is if i can use the RAVPower to transfer my files from the XQD card into an external hard drive.Thanks, i will appreciate your response.Best regards
Now you don't need to do that either. Cuz with the shiny brand new (iPad os) it supports external drive nativly
But how?
@@alexle5026 watch wwdc 2019 event and you'll know
WOW! SOOOOO glad to know about this - thank you!
Jarred, this the second time I’ve watched this. I bought a dongle for my iPad Pro, but then I found out the connect is for a usb-c. Now I found out I needed the regular dongle. But Amazon won’t take it back because I didn’t get it to them within a month. Dumb on my part. But you sold me on this. I hope it works, and if not that I can send it back to Amazon. If it works, I’ll come back a subscribe. Thanks.
This looks like the solution I need. We just recently purchased the 3rd gen IPad Pro recently because I am sick of Windows. I have an external hard drive, but didn’t have a way to transfer data/files from the IPad to it. This looks very user-friendly! I assume I could use this device for an IPhone XR or an older IPad mini?
Thanks for posting this. I found it really interesting as I’m a newby at getting around the Apple restrictions🤔 Don’t mind the haters.
Thanks!! I don't mind them at all.
"newbie"
Bless you!
Thanks. Amazing!
Great video!I would like to ask you for advice. I have two Hard Disks (formatted in exFat) that I normally use on a PC. I tried to connect them via Hub to the iPad (Air m1), charging, but they turn on without the iPad recognizing them. How could I solve? I also changed the adapter but nothing. I state that until some time ago they were read without the slightest problem.
This is so cool! Thank you for this video!!! Does this solution also work with the iPhone X? I'd like to move photos off my iPhone to free up space and I already have an external drive. Thanks!
I all ready have the ssd samsung, bought my iPad Pro the 7th, and command my ravpower yesterday just before you release your video ^^
Will just using a wireless hard drive accomplish the same thing???
I believe so, I wonder if the WD My passport wireless HDD could acomplish the same
I use a MyCloud drive 2tb to watch movies and get access other files through my iPhone, iPad Pro as well as my laptop setup for 3D printing
Yup watch Henny the bizness get it done that way.
Yes, I have the WD wireless passport for just that reason but it is very slow to transfer. The Passport does have another party trick though as it has an SD card slot. You can do photography backup in the field..... just start the device and insert the SD card and an indicator will show the progress.
Jason says further up (as a reply to a reply) that is does work, but it takes more steps, and that he's working on a video on the subject.
I’m buying one of these as it’s a cool device. I like the way you can ,transfer back and forth to a SSD or HDD, etc. What devices do we have to download or connect to CDs and DVDs? On another note there is a great app for transfering images back and forth PhotoSynch?
For iPad 2017 (5th Generation, A1822), does RavPower also transfer word/ excel/ powerpoint files? Or is it only limited to photos/ videos?
Have few iPads at home, def need to increase storage with that ravpower filehub thingy! Tks Jared for the vid!
Few iPads? What model are they?
gυяυвυlυ • few pieces of ipad
Fake title.....iPad is not connected to a Hard Drive but to a WiFi router/ NAS, media server, streamer.
This is old news,
LIES
This is true... fake video...dislike
My phone is not connected physically either
But my phone is connected to the internet and I can phone people
So what is a connection?
It is a bullshit title, good for calling him out
EL EL Who cares? His intent was to give a useful way to connect to a large drive for people who use the iPad. Don’t see the point of “calling him out...”
Question does the tag device require a working internet signal ?. Like if you were in an isolated spot with zero signal could you still access the files etc ?
Im a student and wondering, if I can transfer my notability-notes to an external harddrive via this thing? Is it relatively easy to set up for a tech-noob? Are the files stored in the respective apps or is the whole thing at least easy to navigate?
Does it open data files like Word, PDF etc from the external hard drive?
I’d also like to know this as well .. it’s my determining factor on whether I purchase it or not

Yes that's more important for me
Heaven forbid people should go do a lil reading like you did @@KevinLiew
Thank you, sir, for making this video. No one was talking about this use of iPad C port.
there is no usb c, this is wifi. You can do this with a router, no need to buy this...
@@_Digitalguy Yes yes I got it.!
you need to remove link url as hardware not available. Ravpower is sending your data to china according to some reports read today.
Hi Jared!
Can I connect this device to my IPad 9.7 2018 six generation? Thanks
Agris Priede I’m sure you can, iOS is iOS so it should work even on an iPhone
What throughput speed does this device achieve? For example, copying a vide to/from the iPad to the hard drive?
Thank you for your excellent presentation 😀
That is pretty amazing functionality wise... great solution for right now! If you are an iPad user and feel stuck with this type limitations this little thing is great. ... But to think, don't even, that Apple could implement such functionality with in their own devices and iOS and would be "beautiful and fluid" and yet they Don't !
Wow, this is really good , but why so much negative comments people ?If this works that's brilliant, I have always been a Samsung guy . but really love the new iPad, but thought it was a bomber not be able to watch or transfer from a hard drive . now this will solve that problem.....
Thanks! People always hating cause the solution isn't perfect but at least it works.
@@jeradhilltech "Connect Any Hard Drive to an iPad Pro
"
You need to look up the definition of the word CONNECT.
@@GeckoClever you can connect wireless dumnass lmao. Ever heard the term connect to wifi lol
@@hillbillyartscrafts4367 Connect is mostly used when Wire A meets Wire B. Especially when it's about CONNECT HARDDRIVE. Don't try to sound smart you iSheep.
Negative comments because it does only work somewhat. I'm through this, it is no fun (looks great at first, but does not work out in the long run).
Does this also work if I want to use the Lumfusion video editing app and I have a lot of 4K videos on the external hard drive?
SanDisk and others have USB flash drives that plug into the lightning port. AirDrop transfers files effortlessly. I use it with FileMaker files. WD makes a wireless drive your iOS device can access directly as well as LumaFusion....
Amazing! After buying a locked down device. I can then buy a second device that will let me add storage and provide it to the locked down device over network. Anybody else see the absurdity?
I know. Apple does what Apple does though.
Ridiculous. Just put the features to iOS 13 and be done with this.
Yeah. It's fucking absured you think that paying $800-$2000 justifies you having the ability to add external storage. You people are so greedy.
Boycotted the big Apple along time ago
Hasn't made sense for Apple to do this until recently because of iOS. If they add a slot for more storage then users would expect to access this from any app. Now we have a Files app this kind of thing is more realistic. Can't say I've missed this feature though. On the rare occasions I wanted physical external storage i just use a tiny cheap sd to lightning adapter. Everything is internet based these days.
Are you kidding, right? The whole point of having a hard drive direct connection is exactly to avoid the need of a Wi-Fi Connectivity to Support it. what you’re suggesting is obviously possible also through a cloud storage or with a NAS, but it’s not the point
Pucknet77 - you're confusing/conflating “wifi” with “internet”. You can do a lot with a LAN which doesn't involve the internet.
Thanks. Worth considering, appreciate your demonstration
Thank you for the video. Is there the capability to transfer a WORD document or other files form the RAV Power/external hard dried to the iPad Pro and work on the document on the iPad ?
The very cool aspect of this technology is that there's a new way to use your iPad Pro's storage - and that's really good news. Of course, a user probably should have realized in advance that their disk space may be inedequate; I'm certainly not going to buy a 128GB machine when I need 256GB. Not having enough storage means swapping data, drives, and backups when the whole situation could have been solved with some forward thinking. That said...this Samsung solution is pretty inventive.
Steven s or maybe some of us that edit video have TBs worth of files that we can’t just store on an iPad and without this solution wouldn’t make the iPad Pro worth considering over a MacBook Pro
This is not a “Samsung solution”. It will work with any harddisk. Also been able to do this for a few years.
Steven s sss
Sry but this has some downsides:
- you need to have that device carried with you
- it needs to be charged
- the Wi-Fi Interface interface is occupied by that device
And 100 Bucks Yeah it's not expensive but it gets way more cheaper.
I prefer cloud storage, there are plenty of options out there to host your stuff in the cloud storage (nope it doesn't need to be Apple) or in your own house as well if you prefer the physical control over the storage as well.
I use a combination of all the options above, I have that Apple iCloud Storage cause it comes with the account, I have a cloud storage at a data center, Dropbox and my own NAS at home. I'm not willing to drag a hard drive and it's clunky "WiFi Adapter" around to have more storage.
Hey Jared, could you connect a DVD/Blu ray player to this unit and play movies through it to a 2020 iPad Pro 12.9 4th gen? I'm looking for a way to burn dvd/cd files and transfer the content to my iPad also. Great video, thanks.
Thank you for sharing this wealth of info. I digital scrapbook on my old ipad pro and before that I did it on my laptop. I have a 5 tb external hard drive and would love attach it to my ipad to use my photos and digital scrapbook products. Ordered it and hoping it will solve my problems.
This is WAY too slow. If you have enough content to move around that you need a terabyte hard drive, you'd lose your mind dealing with this. I can't even imagine trying to send a video file to edit over this thing. It took forever just for the image previews to show up. Video?? Forget about it.
I wish there was a plug and play method to take advantage of the USB C port. I'd ditch my Macbook in a heartbeat if storage wasn't such an issue when working with client video and photo files.
iPad:*saw “Samsung” name
iPad: *OH HELL NAAAAAWWW*
Does it also support a USB hub Because I have 3 harddrives I want to keep them connected all at the same time. How to get internet also working when accessing files when i already have a Wifi connection ? As explain in the video it acts like a router so I can not remain connected to the wifi router when i am accessing files ?
Will this work if you are away from any internet connection? And this will work with iPhones too, right?
Do you have to use their app, or will iOS apps that connect to your Mac like GoodReader and NPlayer work?
The title says “connect any iPad to a hard drive”. The video shows how to access files on a NAS from an iPad. Very different things. The title is almost clickbate. I appreciate the creator but the title is misleading.
The title says "Connect Any Hard Drive to an iPad Pro"
Its not a hard drive, its a solid state drive
this is a nice video. Great to address any storage issue. You can always save to Google photos..
Does it have to be an iPad PRO? would it also work with an older iPad (mine is about 8 years old). Thanks
This is no solution at all. Out of the box, the iPad can connect to a filesystem with video on it. This gives almost nothing further. If it had a filesystem that allowed access to non-media files and reliably allowed a send to app function, then fine. But the fact that you don't even mention this lack seems deceptive. I love my iPads, but this is nothing new at all.
I did not understand y you are copying only photo and vedio, why don't you copy some pdf file doc file, and i didn't understand your purpose of vedio
thanks! I am glad I looked...almost bought a 256...I have a 6 TB drive I use for video editing etc...Now I can save some cash with a 64gb
Hello, one question, I just formatted my external via my PC(Windows). Do I have to format the HDD for it to be compatible for Mac. I probably answered my own question but needed to know. I’m trying to transfer content onto my external but it’s stuck at the Transferring part. Thank you. In the meantime I’ll format via Mac if I can.
