There seems to be a bug in iOS and iPad OS that doesn’t eject ExFAT-formatted SD cards correctly. The problem: iOS doesn’t eject ExFAT-formatted disks properly. Curiously, I put the card in my aging iMac and it popped up just fine. Recently I tried to open this card on my iPad Pro. ExFAT was the only format that could do that.
My 512Gb Sandisk Extreme Pro SD card needed to be in a format that all machines could read and needed to hold video files that were bigger than 4Gb.
So why on earth would I format a SD card in ExFAT in the first place? At the place I was working, we were half-Mac/half-PC. This article will show you how to get your iDevice seeing those files again and how to format an SD card in the future to avoid the issue. Remain calm: Your files are likely all still there. If your SD is formatted in the MS ExFAT format, it may have stopped showing in Files.
SDs work great as mini flash drives for the iOS through the iPad OS Files app. JIt just doesn’t work: ExFAT SDs not showing in iOS Files app.
