IPad – Move large files to iPad through Lighting cable

firewireipad

Is there a simple / clever method to move large video files from a NAS => Mac => Firewire => iPad? The goal is speed: preference is to avoid Wifi. Assume that I would like to transfer a 600MB home video of a wedding.

As I understand it, the choices for transferring files are:

  • lightning (fastest)
  • wifi
  • bluetooth

Best Answer

If you have iCloud, Dropbox, or Box you can use these services to copy the files to your ipad. You can move the video clip to icloud, for example and move it from icloud to ipad or just use it while its stored in iCloud.
