iPad Does iPad 8th Gen allow file uploads to the web in safari?

[Hoff]

I'm thinking to buy the 8th Gen iPad

I want to put .JPGs and .PDFs on the iPad and be able to log onto websites and upload those files like you would on a laptop.
Preferably in Safari.

I know this didn't used to work years ago.
But does it work now?

Yes, I expect it will work on most websites.

Works fine on my iPad Pro 2018 and I don’t think there are any differentiating features in either Safari or iPadOS across iPad models that would signal a difference in functionality here.

Works great on all iPad devices.

Great! Thanks for confirming this... ? ?

It works but not all the time. Sometimes the whole webpage breaks or makes it very hard to navigate through the interface.

This one's mostly a webpage coding issue, though. Whether $300 iPad or $1K+ iPad Pro, results are the same.

Ok... so it might work or it might not. Depending on the website

Unfortunately, yes. Those with simple upload buttons work fine. Those that use fancy Javascript can be iffy. As mentioned though, most sites should work fine.

Just realized I also want to be able to download .PDFs and save to a jump drive. Would an iPad let us do that?

Yes. You'll need a $40 USB-3 Lightning Camera Connection Kit. Even then, I've found FAT32/exFAT support to be unreliable on occasion particularly when browsing folders with thousands of files.
