This is probably the worst answer ever given on Best Buy, but here it goes... I've been using this to connect USB to music creation apps while charging and listening through headphones. All of that works well now that I have some bugs ironed out. But I hadn't actually used it to view files on a hard-drive or memory stick. So, after getting the question from you, I decided to try. I have an external HDD (not an SSD, which would be better) to try. I loaded a movie as well as several MP3 files, JPEGs, etc. on it and connected it up. I also plugged in the charge cord (USB-C) since the HDD runs off USB power. I was able to play everything except the movie. I am sure it's my fault because I don't think I properly saved all necessary files and I'm not sure they are files that the iPad recognizes anyway. I'll have to figure that little bit out. The short answer is, "I don't know for sure". But I'm pretty certain, in light of the fact that I can see any other file on the HDD, it will play movies just fine. I'm pretty confident this will do it for you.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It depends on the external hard drive you have. The ones for a computer will probably not work because they are too big. You need the smaller one like the one Samsung and SanDisk makes. You would have to transfer the movies to a flash drive or a SD card.
