I think the problem is how you are sharing the pictures. the option to export unmodified images is not what you want, you need to share to the Files app. Here are the steps suggested by Chat GPT: 1. Connect the flash drive to your iPhone. 2. Open the Files app and confirm the USB drive is recognized. 3. Go to the Photos app, select the images you want. 4. Tap Share > Save to Files > choose the USB drive. 5. Tap Save to complete the transfer.

I can’t tell if it is reading the flash drive, because when I select what I want, I go to “share” and from there, I go to “Export unmodified media”, but when I am taken to “Browse”, it doesn’t seem to find or recognize the flash drive. I plugged in a different drive, and it’s the same thing. Any idea of what could be going on, or what I need to do that I’m not doing? Thanks very much.
