Sync Through iCloud:

It is probably likely more than a few GBs in size. So, using the Files app, log in to iCloud to access it. Enable Use the Files app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


If Not Enough Space:

If not enough space, then backup iCloud to an external drive > trash iCloud perm the above.
