Near iPad hard drive limit , how do you physically move to another media (not cloud)

I have big problem

My iPad is telling me I’m close to space maximum limit, but I can’t and don’t want iCloud. I saved all files and moved 99% but there are 1 or 2 files over 8GB

Without a cloud or upload to server, how do I move this file to something else because it is too large for a run of a mill transfer

Some good notes are I have a pc laptop and MacBook if that can be useful but I am new to mac and ios so I don’t want to gamble on playing and corrupting anything

Any ideas ?

    Isn’t just attach a 30 bucks hub and copy over the files to a micro-SD card?
    I have several hubs, but this one is best!

  • I didn’t know you could do that, that’s a perfect solution, micro SD is my preferred media as well. Durrr right? File size was my issue but if you say it can be done, I’ll do that! Thank you

    This has everything I want except 4k@60hz. Don’t know if iPad can output that anyway. Awesome. If you hook up a MIDI controller and audio interface does that work? Need powered hub?

  • If you are out of space you're probably going to upgrade to a new ipad anyway, no? If so, you don't need icloud or anything. There's a simple process you go through to transfer literally everything from your old ipad to the new one. Absolutely brilliant.

    Everything you’ve said works - I buspower my 88-key MIDI-controller from the iPad, but it’s easy to connect a 20000mA powerbank thru the USB-C PD-port…
    Even got 3.5mm sound output…
    30 bucks on Amazon…

    There was another one similar to picture you posted, orange, not blue ipad. same seller with also HDMI 4k 60Hz. I ordered both. thanks for the tip. Will help with Storage and data transfer too!

    Airdrop is a fast and reliable way to transfer files between iPad and Mac, no internet needed:

    Actually this is another good method to my MacBook to a Blu-ray
    Best way hybrid ; that way I can save it while my hub arrives

  • Airdrop is great. If using an SD card, I would not use it for long-term storage and I would make sure to have a verified backup on a hard drive or reliable server before deleting from the iPad. I have had sd card and SSD mishaps when moving things to them from an iPad and kmow from others that sich issues are not uncommmon.

    Thanks about airdrop. I moved most of everything with it now. One thing left is 9GB file that says its too big to move. I dont know what to do with it. If i split it somehow, that would be transferable right? The max of a transfer to most SD/Flash is 8gb?

    ALSO , does deleting unused/extra apps, effects, instruments etc improve performance (meaning does the physical memory space allow for any extra cpu improvement? I want to delete my entire iPad except for what I use for Zenbeats work.

    To clarify, storage space isn’t memory (RAM). Except when storage is mostly full, there isn’t likely to be a performance benefit for freeing up a lot of space.

    What is the 9GB file? You might as well try transferring if you have a sufficiently large SD card or SSD BUT it might take a really really long time to copy (especially to an SD card). I wouldn’t delete the original until you have a verified and backed up copy on a hard drive.

    Transfer to a network drive would be faster than an SD card and more reliable.

  • Ok; will do (double copy/backing up now)
    Thank you @espiegel123

  • What is this 9gb file? Do you know?

  • @wim said:

    Yes; it is a mov file. It’s just super important that I keep it; compression has little effect (maybe I can split it somehow without fidelity loss?)

  • I'm pretty sure I've copied files that big to an external hard drive.
