I am beginning to think that A) apple released a feature that’s more a work-in-progress than a solid feature, or B) They stated something for the purpose of selling more iPads, regardless of the veracity of the statement. Most Apple tech support staff have no clue that iPad OS 13 supports external storage.
IMO, there is no way that Apple doesn’t know what works and doesn’t work with their products. There is no way they don’t know that iPad users want to use external storage with their iPads. Everything I’ve read or seen (YouTube) tells me that this feature doesn’t work the way they state it does. Even the external devices that “work” do so sporadically. The wifi-based external drives seem to work better, but...I could already do that before iPad OS 13. It’s called iPhone.
Has anyone with a 2nd-Gen iPad Pro gotten an external drive to mount on an iPad so that it can be read and written to, every single time you connect it?

External drive support
Access files on a USB drive, SD card, or hard drive.
^ No qualifiers other than drive type. No asterisk referring reader to mouse type listing all the requirements and exceptions. Just 1 clear sentence telling you what you can now do.
