I haven’t seen this mentioned yet, but I just learned today that iPadOS 14 supports encrypted external drives. Instead of just ignoring the device completely, it now prompts you to unlock with the encryption key. Unfortunately there is no option to store the key in the iPad’s keychain, so you need to unlock with every new mount.
