If an external hard drive doesn’t supply its own power, and your iPhone has a USB-C connector, you can use a powered USB hub. If your iPhone has a Lightning connector, you can use the Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter connected to a USB power adapter. You may need the Lightning/USB C to USB Camera Adapter, Lightning/USB C to USB 3 Camera Adapter,(all sold separately).
Please note that an external storage device must have only a single data partition, and it must be formatted as APFS, APFS (encrypted), macOS Extended (HFS+), exFAT (FAT64), FAT32, or FAT. To change the formatting of a storage device, use a Mac or PC.
Note: You can use the Files app and other supported apps to access files stored on external devices, connected to your iPhone. An external hard drives often require an external power source when used with iPhone.
Once connected, you’ll be able to drag and drop your photos and files onto the SSD. You can download picture from iPhone straight to this drive
