How to Copy SD card to Hard Drive with iPhone iPad iOS 13 NO LAPTOP

Aaron shows you how to use an iPhone or iPad through a USB hub to copy an SD card to a HDD or SSD without a laptop or PC.

It is now possible to use only an iPhone to copy or backup an SD card to a HDD (hard disk drive) through a USB hub without using a laptop. This is huge for travelers, backpackers, adventurers, and filmmakers. Having all of your footage on a single SD card is scary. Losing or having the card fail can be catastrophic. Often it’s not possible to have a laptop while backpacking or traveling. Aaron shows how to use a powered USB hub to run access a portable hard drive using an iPhone Xs. You can also use this technique to copy from on SD card to another.
Aaron shows the process of using IOS 13’s File app for connecting, copying, back up, pasting, creating folders, navigation, and ejecting devices. This is great for photographers, videographers, drone operators, filmmakers, adventurers, travelers, and the like.
This technique works for SD, CF, Compact Flash, QXD, and any other card you can think of. You can even copy your USB mass storage camera/camcorder to a HDD/SDD using your iPhone or iPad.

*** UPDATE ***
I changed the Amazon USB cable link below. This may dramatically improve your file transfer speed. It appears the bottleneck is the Apple Lightning system.
