catlover Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Totally new to Aff on iPad. Is there any way I can save to a USB stick ? If so, how would I go about that. So far I've only been able to find external saving to iCloud, which I think takes too much control. Thanks, C.L. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllAppsUser Posted February 10, 2021 Share Posted February 10, 2021 The only way I know is to first save the file to the Files app. From there you can save it to an external drive. I do it to move work from the iPad to an old Mac that’s got the older incompatible airdrop.

If it is an afdesign file, use Save a copy and navigate to any location, tap Save and file app opens access to all available locations. Saving an Exported file just tap Share on the Export screen and pick a location. If you choose save to Files it opens access to network and other locations. I have a USB to Lightning device (no USB port on ipad) allowing me to save to USB easily. I also have a wireless drive Wd Wireless Pro which can set up its own network for iPad to access. Works well too. AllAppsUser 1 Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

AllAppsUser Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Thanks from me for that @DM1. Really good to know. I quite like having a copy within the Files app, as a sort of back-up. So I might continue doing what I've been doing. But great to understand all the options. I've a usb to lightening adapter – it's been a game changer. Negates the need for traffic over the internet just to shift a file from two devices in the same room.
