IPad – How to transfer files from CD/DVD onto iPad Pro

I need to access files from CDs and DVDs on my iPad Pro to print them. I use digital crafting files and can download them from Internet without issue, but on discs I own, I cannot work out how to transfer from the discs to the iPad.

Best Answer

There’s no native way read a digital disc on an iPad, and I don’t think a 3rd party manufacturer makes such a solution.

You will need to extract these files from the discs on a computer, macOS or Windows, then upload them to whatever cloud service you’re using to make them available on the Internet to your iPad. If you don’t have a cloud service, iCloud is one option, as nohillside mentions above, but there are others such as Dropbox or Google Drive. Dropbox and Drive have iOS apps to handle file transfers. I use all three cloud services on my iOS and macOS devices.
