Skeudenn Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) iOS 13 enables access to external hdd such as usb stick and ssd .i use an iPad Pro 12.9 (usb 3 camera connection kit with usb 3 hub and lightning to usb cable. ). I can copy files from a card reader to an ssd or a usb stick i’ve settled on an m.2 250 gb on a usb 3 adapter i can view the photos in files app but not import them in my official affinity software which makes me regret to have bought the app especially since I can import those files /share them into darkroom... anyone has a workaround ?Thanks Edited October 19, 2019 by Skeudenn Spelling and wrong info yveglo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted October 20, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 20, 2019 Hi Skeudenn, Welcome to the forums 19 hours ago, Skeudenn said: i can view the photos in files app but not import them in my official affinity software which makes me regret to have bought the app I'm sorry to hear you feel this way, in the current version you can't access external hard drives connected to your iPad through the Affinity app, however our devs are working hard to have this feature implemented in an upcoming update. In the meantime you can save/export your files to your iPad, then copy them to your external drive using the Files app. I hope this helps! Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

Dwreast Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I recently purchased Affinity for the IPad Pro and am very pleased with the app, but the inability to import files from an SSD is a bit of a complication; especially if you have less than 512 gb of space. I look forward to the update! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DM1 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 As a temporary workaround you can access the HDD, copy the file to your iPad and then open it with affinity. Clunky but does provide a form of access. Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).
