File in ipad

[borjam1981]

Hello
I´ve got several files downloaded using dropbox. I connect my ipad to my laptop but i cannot see them in internal storage.
I would like to adds some files to my ipad through my laptop. Will i see later my files in my ipad with a video player?

The iPad file system is somewhat restrictive. I keep everything on Dropbox and do not use the iPad storage for files.

Why can’t you just put the files on to Dropbox directly from your laptop?

Because there is a limit. I would travel next week abroad and i need to carry with me more files that the storage that ive got in dropbox. How csn i take advantage of the storage of my ipad?

You will need a video player app like VLC or PlayerXtreme.

In iTunes it will show up and you can drag the files from your laptop to your iOS device.

Alternativley you can Airdrop to device if it is a mac

Download the free Documents by Readdle app. Then set up your Dropbox account on that app. This will allow you to download any files from Dropbox and keep them stored locally on the iPad in the “Documents” folder. From there you can open any files with any iPad app using the “Share” menu.

Depends on the type of data. If it’s only videos then an app like VLC will work and then you can use your laptop to transfer data into the app via iTunes.
