iPad Pro How to move files from MacBook to iPad Files?

[m.x]

Just thought of these options:
- In the Files app (or similar) on your ipad, establish an SMB connection to your Mac. Then just browse your Mac from your iPad and you should be able to copy files to a location on your iPad, all in the Files app.

This should be the way to go. The SMB connection is essential for an iPad + Mac workflow...

I would use a usb-c flash drive.

I have used the Files app when plugging my iPad to my Mac. I do know you have to click on something like files or something else to get to the drive.

I wouldn’t use iCloud on a shared device either as my device is my life. If you are going to use his as a communal device, I’d leave it at that and get a second one for you.

I can’t imagine a world where I hand my devices over to friends and their kids. The privacy risks to them and me is too great.

Family of four. Four phones, four iPads, and two MacBooks in this house. Family sharing works great, and we retain our privacy.

I don’t understand some of these answers.
Don’t people use lock screens?

You mean you were able to access your Mac’s files from the iPad Files app via a usb cable??

iPhones and iPads are single account devices. Everyone I know uses a Lock Screen. But the person I was replying to lets friends and their children use the iPad.

One of the complaints about iOS - is that it doesn’t allow for multi accounts on one device like Android devices do.
