Why not buy it from the Apple Store direct, it will cost the same and you still 
get free shipping.
Have you tried and plugged your USB drive directly into your iPad instead of 
through the hub?
Also, I assume you are using a USB flashdrive and not an external traditional 
hard drive with platters since I assume they will indeed require too much power 
even for an iPad.

With the Apple USB camera kit I have, one end plugs into the lightning port on 
your phone.  The other end has both a USB port and a lightning port.  You plug 
the thumb drive into the USB port.  You plug the phone charging chord into the 
lightning port.

RE: Documents 7 review: Free iOS file manager puts Apple’s Files app to shame

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I also would like to know what Ryan means by plugging the camera adapter into 
an outlet, as Russ says, the Apple Camera Kit is a short piece of cable with a 
Lightning port on one end and a regular USB plug on the other.
Having said this, I just tried my Apple Camera adapter with a 2 TB Seagate USB 
drive which on a laptop certainly does not need or can be plugged into any 
power source and it did not work and neither did it work when I tried an older 
Kingston DataTraveller 2.0 USb drive with an 8Gb capacity.
The DataTraveller was even identified correctly, e.g.  “Could not use USB 
accessory DataTraveller 2.0”
My iPhone 8 was charged to 93% and the result was the same when I plugged in 
the USB drive while my iPhone was on it’s wireless charging mat.

Re: Documents 7 review: Free iOS file manager puts Apple’s Files app to shame

Hello,

I have what Amazon calls a “
[Apple MFI Certified] OMARS® Meteorite Lightning Flash Drive USB 3.0 32GB 
Memory Expansion for Apple iPhone iPod iPad & Computer Mac Laptop PC








”

This device has a built in 32Gb SD card.  It also has a rechargeable battery 
that can be charged via a PC via the USB port on the unit.

The device has two ports one at either end.  A standard USB for connecting to a 
PC and at the other end a Lightning Connector.

When you first use the device you are required to download an app from the App 
Store.  The app calls itself I-Drive.  Using this app you can access the device.

Unfortunately however it is invisible to Apple’s Files App.

No idea why.Sent from my iPhone

Russ,
Are you saying you have a USB powered hub that you plugged into the adapter 
that was plugged into the iPhone?
That means you are adding multiple drives at once, which computers handle fine; 
I am not sure iPhones or maybe even iPads can handle that.
Have you called Apple Accessibility who maybe could answer your question fairly 
quickly?  877-204-3930

Richard

Note that with some drives, you will get a message that the accessory requires 
too much power.  In that case, you just need to do the following:
Unplug the lightning to USB adapter from the phone.
Plug the adapter into an electrical outlet.
Plug the adapter back into the phone.

Documents 7 is a free iOS app for reading PDF, EPUB, Word, and Excel 
documents, opening ZIP archives, viewing images, downloading and much more.

It took Apple nearly a decade to bring proper file management to the iPhone 
and iPad with the arrival of the Files app in iOS 11. Over the same period of 
time, an enterprising third-party developer based in Odessa, Ukraine was busy 
refining its own file manager app, which outshines Apple’s in almost every 
conceivable way.

Documents 7 is the latest incarnation of the versatile iOS utility that 
started as clever web app ReaddleDocs, named for the up-and-coming startup who 
created it. The mobile equivalent of macOS Finder, this jack-of-all-trades 
allows iPhone and iPad owners to browse, view, and manage files with ease, all 
from an intuitive user interface that puts Apple’s own Files to shame.



Documents 7 brings the Plus button to iPhone, making it easier for users to 
create and import files from almost anywhere.

Although there was little to dislike about the look and feel of prior 
releases, Documents 7 adds a fresh coat of paint inspired by the company’s 
recent PDF Expert 7, a robust tool for document editing and annotation. The 
result is a refined UI that makes viewing and organizing files a more organic 
experience, with support for iOS 13’s new Dark Mode and floating keyboard. iPad 
users can also now open more than one Documents window at a time, great for 
side-by-side comparison or to drag and drop content between them.

Making its way from iPad to iPhone is the Plus button, a convenient one-tap 
popup in the lower right corner which speeds up creation of new folders, text 
and PDF files, scanning new documents, or importing existing files from iCloud 
Drive, Photos, cloud storage providers, or network-attached sources. Naturally, 
there’s also integration with the built-in Files app for seamlessly accessing 
content stored there, as well as opening files saved in existing Locations 
within Documents 7.

PDF master
From the beginning, Documents 7 included a built-in web browser, which now 
offers private browsing mode. On the iPhone, browser settings are conveniently 
located from any open tab—no more hopping back to in-app settings just to clear 
data or change the location of file downloads. There’s even a new option to 
choose DuckDuckGo, Yandex, Ecosia, or Yahoo as the default search engine 
instead of Google. (Yay, privacy!)

Plug the adapter into an electrical outlet.

External drives, was RE: Documents 7 review: Free iOS file manager puts Apple’s Files app to shame

[Richard Turner]

As I understand it, with an iPhone, any flash drive should work if it does not 
require power.
The iPhone does not have enough power to run an external drive that requires 
power.
So, if it is a multi-gigabyte flash drive that is normally used with a 
computer, it probably won’t work with an iPhone, unless your adapter allows the 
iPhone to be plugged into power while using that drive.

As for accessing the drive from Voice Dream Reader, I would using the File 
Browser portion of the Add File dialog in Voice Dream.

I have not tried one of these adapters yet, but from all my reading and 
conversations with folks, I think that is what you would do.
I use that to access my OneDrive when I want to add something to Voice Dream 
Reader from there.

Hello, I purchased a lightning to USB adapter from Apple, I can connect a USB 
thumb drive to that adapter and it shows up right in the files app on the 
iPhone, and the files can be manipulated in many ways.
Thanks.

[Alan Lemly]

I can't comment on the accessibility of Documents 7 but based on the list of 
features it touts, I suspect it would be difficult to design a user interface 
friendly to Voiceover users. The older I get, the more I ascribe to the KISS 
adage especially where app and program interfaces are concerned.

I just did a trial run with it and frankly, it isn’t ready for VoiceOver users.

After downloading, and going through the welcome screens, it gets stuck and I 
had to close and reopen the app.

Then, the choices of what kind of material you want to access is very cluttered 
and repetitive.

Once I opened a file, finally, it is not all that user friendly with VoiceOver.

You’ll have to try it for yourself to see if its something you want to work 
through, but the Files app is far easier to use in my opinion.

user interface that puts Apple’s own Files to shame.
