Hi. Our laptop is currently kapput and I currently have many things I need the laptop in school. We make PoowerPoints excel or applications write with PDF this. And I have an IPad at home and ask myself how it is possible to plug in a USB stick and to work things on the iPad, as on a laptop? How does it work?
With a Lightning to USB female adapter. Or if you have the new Pro model USB C to USB female.
Or you load everything on Onedrive and then you can edit the data online (or apps).
I join "Coniel": Look, that you can use any computer for a short time and load the data on the USB stick in a cloud like Onedrive. If you are not very familiar, you can just email yourself and attach the file.
Then you retrieve the mail on your iPad and you can edit it with the appropriate software. I'm not familiar with Apple products, but I suspect that there's also free office editing software in the Apple Store.
On which device did you post this question here?
IPhone 6s
