Transferring large files between usb-c equipped iPads and MacBooks?

I’m just looking to get confirmation that getting really large video files from iPad to MacBook, assuming they are both the generations that have usb-c is as easy as loading on external hd on one device and then plugging into the other.
After dealing with pain and disappointment on lightning based iPad and trying to get large files in and out, I’d like to do a sanity check before I buy something.

    Sorry, this was meant to go in Hardware category…

    I’d give Airdrop a go, on a local WiFi network larger files (1GB+ video files etc.) transfer pretty swiftly.

    Doop! Forgot about that since all I have today are PC’s.

    I too was looking forward to easier connectivity when I got my usb-C iPad…

    After dealing with pain and disappointment… :D :D :D

    I ended up using AudioShare to transfer some large video files via the webpage filesharing feature. (A god send)
    That was connecting to a PC though so hopefully on a Mac it is slightly less maddening.

    AirDrop sounds like a good shout : ) I’m pretty jealous.

    I mention the AudioShare solution as a futuristic alternative that probably runs on iOS 1 devices/win 95.

    You would think that. But the apple files system is a buggy piece of shit. I had issues dragging and dropping videos from the Photos app to an external hard drive. If I remember right, the more reliable way would be to use the Share sheet. This is apparently due to some longstanding bug. Why Apple have not deigned to fix this boggles the mind, but there you go, that's how it is.

    They might want to trick you into using a large iCloud data plan over a slow internet connection instead :#

    And to make you always want to grab whatever device has max storage, no matter how much they rip you off for said storage, yep, sounds legit 🤔

    Not all USB-C iPads have or use USB 3, so the speeds may not be great depending on the model. Even the iPads that support higher transfer speeds come with USB 2 cables, so speed will be poor with the provided cables. AirDrop can overcome those issues as others have noted. I connect my iPad directly to MacBook and the speeds for large files are fine, but I'm using a 3rd party USB 3 cable.
