Transferring Movies (not purchased in Apple Store) from old iPad to new iPad - without a PC?

Hi!


About 7 years ago, when I bought my iPad Air 2, I had a PC. On the PC, I had family movies that I formatted and uploaded onto the iPad Air 2. They appear under the Apple TV app in my Library under Home Movies category.


Now in 2021, I don't have a PC, and I've ordered a new iPad Air 4. Since I don't have a PC, I'm wondering how to transfer these home movies from the old iPad to the new iPad. I've searched high and low online for a way to backup these movie files to the Cloud or to a Google Drive or to some kind of online storage, but I'm not seeing any obvious answers. I see that Apple will let me backup and transfer my purchase history for standard TV shows and movies from the Apple Store, but I'm not seeing any transfer/backup options for home movie files of this sort.


Can anyone help? I'm a bit worried that these movies are stuck on this iPad forever.

(Many many thanks!)

iPad Air 2, iPadOS 14

To my knowledge, you should perform the same procedure that you made 7 years ago, but to do that you need a computer running iTunes. I'd borrow one from your friends, or ask for help at an Apple Store.
