Connect external devices or servers with Files on iPod touch
You can use the Files app 
to access files stored on external devices or servers, such as USB drives and SD cards, file servers, and other cloud storage providers like Box and Dropbox, after you connect them to your iPod touch.
Connect a USB drive or an SD card
Insert a Lightning to USB Camera Adapter, Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter, or Lightning to SD Card Camera Reader (all sold separately) into the charging port on iPod touch.
Note: The Lightning to USB 3 Camera Adapter can be powered with a USB power adapter. This allows you to connect USB devices with higher power requirements, such as external hard drives, to iPod touch.
Do one of the following:
Connect a USB drive: Use the USB cable that came with the USB drive to connect the drive to the camera adapter.
Insert an SD memory card into the card reader: Don’t force the card into the slot on the reader; it fits only one way.
To view the contents of the device, tap Browse at the bottom of the screen, then tap the name of the device below Locations. If you don’t see Locations, tap Browse again at the bottom of the screen.
To disconnect the device, simply remove it from the connector on iPod touch.

Tip: After you connect to a computer or file server, it appears in the Recent Servers list on the Connect to Server screen. To connect to a recent server, tap its name.
Select how you want to connect:
Guest: You can connect as a Guest user if the shared computer permits guest access.
Registered User: If you select Registered User, enter your user name and password.
Tap Next, then select the server volume or shared folder in the Browse screen (under Shared).
To disconnect from the file server, tap 
next to the server in the Browse screen.
For information on how to set up your Mac to share files, see Set up file sharing on Mac in the macOS User Guide.
