iCloud is temporary - limited to 30 days and 1,000 photos.

How old is the PC?

Not all USB thumb drives take too much power. Take the one you bought back to the store, & take your iPad & camera connection kit. Get a different brand that doesn't take too much power.

You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.

Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).

Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

Really? I can't believe, whomever answered this simple question sends a link to an Apple site that won't answer the question!
