    Did you try Open In from AudioShare ?

    I don't have audioshare yet. Is it supposed to do that? Not clear from the description in AppStore

    GarageBand doesn't show in Open-in. For midi files as for audio files. Audiobus doesn't work with midi files, only audio. GB is NOT Audiobus compatible. Import audio only via iTune share and Music library.

    GarageBand works in the AB output slot. (I.e. You can record into it) also you can use the iOS general clipboard to paste from Audioshare.

    GarageBand on iOS does deal with midi files in or out. I don't have a Mac PC but from my understanding, GB projects could be imported to GB on Mac and then the midi would be available...but I'm not sure. Actually I'd like to know if this is true or not.

    Anyway on iOS GB is pretty limited, but I still find it useful on occasion for my music making.

    Correct. You can indeed record into it, but not from it, in AB. Now, you can actually import audio/loops from AudioShare and DropBox : open Loops, select Audio Files tab, open Import from iCloud Drive, open Locations ( top left ), open More..., switch AudioShare and Dropbox on. From now you can open AS or DB and import the files.
    For a midi file you may check this:

    Worth the investment. It's an invisible hub and bottle washer/file clerk/dogsbody for many, many folks hereabouts.

    @JohnnyGoodyear +1 on Audishare, everyone should have it.

    Also to note that AudioShare can house midi files and even play them with a chip tune type player as like a preview, but it can't play another app via midi, but does the "open-in"

    Correction...typo from my above pos, it should be: "GarageBand on iOS does NOT deal with midi files in or out."

    The video demo above is not really importing files into GB...it shows GB recording from a MIDI file, that's a big difference, however it could be a nice workaround for a limited amount of midi stuff.
