Does my iPad have a USB-C port for SanDisk stick?

iPad (10th generation) - Tech Specs - Apple Support

USB-C port with support for:

• Charging
• DisplayPort
• USB 2.0 (up to 480 Mb/s)

According to a quickk search of "iPad 10th generation," that model does have a USB-C port and that thumbdrive should work. It's the same port where you plug in your charging cable.

Charge and connect with the USB-C port on your iPad - Apple Support

Go to Settings>Genera>About>Model Number. What does it say?

Also, is your laptop a Mac? If so, you could transfer the spreadsheet using AirDrop or by using iCloud Drive. If the laptop is not a Mac (even if it is) you can email the spreadsheet as an attachment.

You can access your numbers sheet from your laptop through iCloud.com. Sign in and then you can click on numbers from the grid icon in the top right, and you should see the file you are working with..

Hi, no, not a Mac , and yes, I emailed the spreadsheet to myself, but it doesn’t open in a workable format. I’ve copied files to Google sheets now though so all sorted, thanks

For future reference, if you synchronize data from your iPad to iCloud, there are ways to access that data from a PC that is running Windows.

There is iCloud for Windows: Apple – iCloud for Windows User Guide. You can also log into iCloud on the Web: https://www.icloud.com/

I believe there are also Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive apps for the iPhone and iPad. Install them, and you can use the Files app to access files on those cloud drives in the same way as files on iCloud Drive.

Hi, yeah, my charging port is smaller, it doesn’t fit .

Then you have an older iPad with a lightning port. There do appear to be lighting to USB-C adapters available out there.

I have one with USB-C and USB-A. It's great. And so tiny!
