How do I access Photo images on my iPad that are exported from iMac ?

On my iMac I have exported some photo images to desktop and want to access them from my iPad. How can I do that?

Re: Accessing desktop files : have exported some photo images to desktop and want to access them from my iPad


Here's one way:


On the MAC desktop:

Control-click a photo you want to send to your iPad, choose Share from the small menu that opens.


Next: from the Share menu:

You could simply choose to email it to yourself, and open the email on the iPad 

or

if you use AirDrop:

you can choose AirDrop and select your iPad that you want to send the photo to.

Using AirDrop: Files sent to your iPad are located in the app that opens automatically when the file is received.
