I wanted to connect a hard drive to my iPad and access the Files app. This does the same thing as Apple's more expensive multiport adapter. I use it to connect an external drive to an iPad Pro. The Files app is available and working while charging. The downsides are that it only has a USB-A port and no HDMI port is needed. My final solution is a wireless drive from WD.
