Transferring Procreate files

Hi,

I recently got a new ipad pro which I have set up with my apple i.d. Prior to this I was using my mum's ipad 2 logged in as her apple i.d. I used the ipad 2 just for Procreate.

I have downloaded procreate on my new ipad and want to transfer my drawings from my mum's ipad. But I am finding this difficult. I thought I would be able to email them, but I think the files are too large.

The ipad 2 doesn't have airdrop as an option.

Can I transfer them to my drop box?

Thanks for your help,

Molly

Hello,

I was under the impression that when you went to download Documents that it would prompt you with the option to download an older version.

It just occurred to me that you could use a Macintosh or Windows PC to transfer your documents. To go about this, connect your iPad to a Mac or PC and open iTunes. Once in iTunes select file sharing on the left sidebar. In there scroll down to Procreate. You should see all of your documents. Transfer them all to the computer. You would then repeat the process with the new iPad only this time you would transfer the documents to the new iPad.

Hello,

You may find the application Documents by Readdle helpful in this situation. The way this would work is you would share your Procreate documents into Documents and from there you could use their file sharing in order to transfer to your newer iPad.

Hi,

Unfortunately the option to download an older version of Documents doesn't come up. I tried to connect the ipad to my mac and transfer that way. but cannot see anything on the left sidebar to share files. Do I need a newer version of itunes maybe?
