Transferring files from a Mac to an iPad
My wife has been using a 2016 12" MacBook for years, the Jony Ive one port special. She's loved it, the size, the weight, everything (well maybe not the one port). It's time to move to a newer system. None of the current Mac laptops come close to the form factor and lightness of the MacBook. She's been reluctant to go to an iPad, because she really wants to use macOS not iOS or a variant, but she's going to bite the bullet and make the leap between platforms.
So the question is how do you transfer files from a Mac to an iPad. I don't mean sync; I mean copying files from the Mac to the iPad, documents, images, video, music. Not concerned about Photos and Music so much that's cloud based, but everything else that's filled the system of a 500 GB drive. Ideally I'd like to go from a Time Machine or CCC drive to the iPad.
How do you do this? The only threads I can find on this are really dated. Any guidance would be really appreciated.
Thanks very much.
