Looking for a lightning flash drive for use with iOS 13. Not one that uses an App for file storage.

I have an iPad with a lightning port but all the flash drives I have seen use an App to control file storage. Obviously with iOS 13, this is not needed. I thought someone might have started making one by now, but I can’t find any.

Considering iOS 13 is not out it's a bit early for anyone to have announced support..

Thanks, I thought about that but I really want a flash drive that I can transfer files from my laptop to iPad. Preferably without a dingle or connector.

Looking for the same thing. Now that iOS 13 is out does anyone have any suggestions. I've used the SD card adapter, but would really like to just be able to use a flash drive.

I too am interested. Apple on their new ipad product page implies that they already exist..

Thanks but it’s controlled by an App. They’re are many like this. I want one that just uses iOS Files App natively without the need for a third party App.
