How can i upload my midi files from my computer to ipad?
This is crazy.
I own this ipad thing 2 years ago, and still dont know how can i upload my Midi clip files onto my ipad, to use it with Helium sequencer.
I have also 50gb icloud. I have tried to upload on icloud.com/iclouddrive but it says not possible to upload folders. only files.
I have started to laugh....and cry.
Unbelievable. I want to fed up and throw my ipad into trash with all the applications.
Also have google drive app, but no way to download from ios google drive app

Zip the folder, upload the zip, unpack?
Ahh thanks, it works.
I have just lost my brain as i had spent one and half hour to download from google drive, from my pc somehow.
Thank you
In Files. Tap 3 dots on upper left. Edit sidebar. Enable Google Drive.
Thank you. Google Drive looks like yours, but not all the apps can handle it. It works eg. with Koala Sampler, but doesn't work with Loopy Pro or Helium.
Drag MIDI files out of Google Drive into a folder in Files and then import them into whatever app you want them in.
For me it doesn't really work. I have this error: The operation cannot be completed. Communication with the helper app was unsuccessful.
Is your primary computer a PC or a Mac? If it’s a Mac, and if iCloud Drive isn’t working for you, you could try airdropping the files to the iPad from your computer. That’s how I transfer most files, especially larger ones (e.g., over 1GB) between my various devices. It’s faster than putting the file in an iCloud folder, waiting for it to upload, then having to download it it again on the destination device. But all my devices are Apple products….if you’re using a Windows PC or whatever, I don’t know if airdrop is a feature you can even take an advantage of.
Airdrop doesn't work with Windows PCs.
I do feel that the smoothest way to share a lot of files between platforms is to set up a network share and mount it in Files.app.
Oh man. That has never worked well for me with a lot of files on an iPad. Files app chokes and dies on folders with a lot of files and/or subfolders in them. Maybe the newer/faster iPads are better at that than mine.
make an SMB share on your computer and use iPad's Files app (Connect to server...)
that's actually the simplest way that doees not require any 3rd party cloud solutions.
Could be iPadOS version as well as Files.app got a pretty big 'back-end update' with iOS26/iPadOS26.
I do admit that I take a bit of care when I manage my files in general and seldom have >1000 actual files in one folder but I may have 10000+ files inside one folder organized into sub-folders.
The reason I do the sub-folder thing is that I only have a GigaBit ethernet and the NAS can't spit out more than ~80MB/s.
I use LocalSend https://localsend.org/ to transfer files and photos between my Linux and I-devices. Complete privacy, no cloud involved and FOSS (Free and Open Source Software).
I have a Windows PC, but thank you — the iPad is more than enough for me from the Apple world
Yes i find a way with FE File Explorer. Little time to find the right app, and how it works. But it's apple. What can we do.
Yes this one sounds as a workable easy solution.
One more option in case anyone is interested. Media Assistant has a web transfer feature (included in the free version, no IAP required), and I’ve used it many times to transfer video files from my PC to iPad and vice versa. It seems to work OK up to about 1 GB for me and it’s fast but I had to tap the screen periodically because the transfer will stop of the iPad goes to sleep, not sure if that has change since the last time I used it.
So @Samu do you use a NAS of some sort? I’ve been thinking of trying to get a more centralized storage in general using an old laptop as NAS of sorts.
I do have an old Synology NAS but it's also relatively easy to set up network shares on desktop/laptop as well.
Just email the midi to yourself. Then you can download the files from the mail app.
I love using my old Raspberry Pi 4 for this. It does a bunch of other stuff too. Serving up files from an attached USB SSD works great. It's not RAID, so a failure of that SSD would be a problem, but it's relatively static storage, and backing up to a spare drive is just a matter of plugging one in and copying the files.
That little sucker takes almost zero power or space, is totally silent, and runs all kinds of stuff without even breaking a sweat.
Next up: science experiment using A-Shell and RSync on the iPad for automated back up for selected folders.
I found that zipping, then e-mailing it works well for me. You could also set up I-Cloud for Windows, which is a pretty neat way to keep files consistent between your I-cloud Drive, and Windows.
Or Google Drive
Or Dropbox...
Or OneDrive.
But always zip the file.
I think logging into iCloud via a browser from PC to upload files tends to work well
You could buy a memory stick with a PC connector at one end and an iPad connenctor at the other.
That’s what I do. Log into icloud from windows laptop, move files to specific icloud folders of apps I need, then open them from the files folder (on icloud)
Pretty shitty of apple to give you 5gig storage per user, not per device bought, which would give me like 30gig free by now, but muh shareholders
I have started this topic, but the whole thing that we have to discuss and find tricky ways to do this simple thing is funny somehow. I hope you feel the same
This is when I feel like they're making a fool of me. But don't know the reason.
Now that iPad and iOS have a native files app it doesn’t see so convoluted. I mean at this point iCloud is pretty much like any other cloud service right? It doesn’t seem any more difficult to access iCloud from my PC than to access OneDrive from iPad. You could just throw it on a thumb drive. Zipping up folders should really eliminate any issues I’d think.
AudioShare’s WiFi Drive is simple and solid.
This is what I do too. And 200 gb of iCloud is only a few dollars a month. I wish there were more tiers, but at this price it’s hard to get too head up about it.
