My esteemed listmates,

I'm trying to help a patron transfer their medical images off a DVD disk.

I'm able to transfer all those files from the DVD (via a DVD player) on to
their 128 Blanbok+ GB flash drive on a Windows 11 laptop.

I can see and open the file images in W11.

But, when I connect that flash drive to the micro-port on their iPad and
select the Files App on the iPad then choose Browse I never see the flash
drive listed.

Won't it appear with a letter (like how Windows assigns a letter to a flash
drive - e.g. F, G, H, etc.)?

Or will the flash drive appear as an icon?

I Googled this and there was some tlak re: needing to use a Lightning
Adapter.

Does one need to buy a powered Lightning Adapter so you plug the flash
drive into that Lightning Adapter and then plug that Lightning Adapter into
the iPad?

Or how else might we do this?

Thank you,

Charles.
