iPad Pro Easiest and fastest way to add media content to a 2 TB iPad Pro ?

[max2]

Before I upgrade to 2 TB I want to make sure it will finally be easy and fast to add content to it simply. Like maybe while I am sleeping or away from iPad for a little while.

Anyway to set this up to do automatically? Guessing not


I gave up on 4g lte / 5g being enough for high quality video to stream reliably without buffering.

Depends what service you're downloading from.

iTunes purchases seamlessly download in the background.

Alas, can't say the same for HBOMax, Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, etc. Sometimes stuff downloads in background, sometimes they don't.

For reliable wireless downloads, I think you'd need to set Display Auto-Lock to Never, have the iPad plugged in and the downloading app in foreground. This is what I do when batch downloading comics.

Alternately, sneakernet (using HDD, SSD or flash drive via the USB-C port) works as well for non-DRM content.

I copied about 1.5TB of media content from my (very large) media library in iTunes via USB-C. Took about 4 hours. I use a 16 inch Macbook Pro, but still use iTunes, via Retroactive, a tool that sllows you to install iTunes to MacOS's that no longer support iTunes directly. (the new, individual Apple apps, lke TV, Book, etc) suck for managing device content.)
