iPad SD Card to Dropbox transfer

[goafreak]

Hi,

I'm looking for a quick and easy way to upload to contents of an SD card to dropbox. So far, I have tried the Files app. Works fine, but as there's no progress indicator, it basically unusable (transferring a couple of GB can take a while, I never know when it's save to remove the card reader).
The Dropbox app only allows me to upload a single file, not the complete card or a folder.
The purpose is to backup an SD card with photos while on the road. I could use the Lightroom app, but I prefer to put them on my Dropbox.

Any suggestion? I'm happy to pay for an app that does that (easy?) task for me in a convenient way.

Any help would be appreciated,
Chris

I use FileBrowser Pro. I copy a file from iPad storage (including external attached linked from the Files app) into Dropbox (linked into FB with a connection) and it provides running status on the transfer - % copied and time to go. I also use FB Pro to synch a local folder with a folder in Dropbox.

Good to hear. I also use it to copy RAW images from my SD card to an SSD - I use a hub to connect the two devices simultaneously and FB Pro can attach to both. It's definitely one of my favorite apps on my iPP. I use it for tasks like this and also as a general file manager. Now if iPadOS would only support default app assignments for opening different file types ...

WWDC 2025 , maybe.
I've been looking for a better "Files" app for a long time, maybe FBpro can solve that problem for me, too.
The idea of copying the images to an SSD sounds pretty useful, which hub do you use?
