Having navigated to the USB drive "No Name", are you able to create a folder - using the Add Folder button (icon has a folder with a "+" icon)?


If you can create a folder, continue navigation to the folder - and save the photo/video to the folder.


If you can't create a folder, try restarting your iPad - and then try again:


Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)

If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:

  1. Press and quickly release the volume button nearest to the top button.
  2. Press and quickly release the volume button farthest from the top button.
  3. Press and hold the top button.
  4. When the Apple logo appears, release the top button.




Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)

Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.




Note: To be recognised by iPadOS, the attached USB storage device must be formatted to FAT, FAT32, exFAT, APFS or HFS+ with a single partition. Microsoft NTFS and other proprietary device formatting are not supported.

Assuming that...:


a) you have already connected your USB Thumb Drive to your iPad Pro (if you need help with this, more information can be provided)


b) your photos and videos are visible within the Apple Photos App


From the relevant Album or Library page, touch-and-hold the related thumbnail image to expose an Action Menu. From the menu select Share. From the share-sheet, select Save to Files - and navigate to the appropriate path for your connected USB Storage. Finally tap Save.


The same process can be followed from an image that is shown full screen. If necessary tap the screen to expose the action icons at the top of the screen. Near the top-left of the screen you will see the Share icon (a square with an upward-pointing arrow). Follow the same process to save the photo/video to your USB Storage.
