Hi,
A while ago I replaced the spinning HD in my mid 2012 MacBook Pro with an SSD. The old drive is 500GB and I was thinking of what I could use it for. I already have two external drives for backing up the laptop.
Here is what I would like to do but don't know if it will work. I use Filmic Pro for video on my iPhone or iPad but sometimes run into storage space issues. With Filmic you can automatically transfer files to the Photos album, iCloud (I think) keep them in Filmic. Can I get an adapter that has a USB and Lightning connector that will both power the phone/pad and then have the files go directly to the HD plugged in? Will the Files app recognize the HD?
Not sure if this is the correct sub forum for this post.
thanks,
chris
