Lightning to USB adapter for iPhone and iPad
This Lightning to USB adapter connects iPhone models from the 6 through the 11 Pro Max and compatible iPads to USB flash drives and SD or TF cards. It runs on iOS 13 and later with plug-and-play operation, letting you view photos or play videos before importing them to the device. Two-way transfer moves files between the card or drive and the iPhone or iPad.
Replaces a computer for basic file moves
The adapter removes the need for a computer when you only need to offload photos, videos, Word, Excel or PDF files between an iOS device and removable storage. The jump is worth it when you want a lightweight, cable-free way to transfer those file types in the field without opening a laptop.
Check iOS version and peripheral power draw
Verify the iPhone or iPad runs iOS 13 or later for direct plug-and-play use; on iOS 12 or earlier you must create a DCIM/100 folder structure and rename files to IMG_XXXX format. Ensure any connected USB drive or card reader draws no more than 200 mA, otherwise the system will report excessive power consumption.

Questions about this item
Does the adapter need a DCIM folder on the USB flash drive for iOS 12 and earlier?
Yes, create a DCIM folder at the root, then a 100 folder inside it, and name files IMG_XXXX before inserting the drive.
What causes the "power consumption too large" message when using the adapter?
The message appears when the connected device draws more than 200mA, not because of a cable fault.
Can files be moved both ways between the iPhone and an SD card with this adapter?
Yes, the adapter supports two-way transfer of photos, videos, Word, Excel and PDF files.
