Set up iCloud on all your devices


Keep your photos and videos up to date with iCloud Photos


Then there is No Need to copy form iPad to Apple Computer.


The folder on the iPad will just appear after syncing to the Apple Computer in Photos.

iOS is for iDevices and macOS is for Apple Computers.


From my experience, Apple expects the user to perform their due diligence and their own research.


If the user can get an external drive that can connect to the iPad and can be recognized in iOS. Then, Copy the 2 TB of photos to that drive and hope and pray the same Drive can be used on macOS.


Do not have any suggestions as Do not use iPads.


As best another suggestion outside of what has been already presented >>


Sync your iPhone, iPad, or iPod using your computer
