I do not want to synch docs between devices. I use devices for different things. I created a lot of documents on my iPad while iCloud was turned on and now the only way I can see them is to use iCloud.
Is there a way to save these docs to the iPad, so that I can turn iCloud off?
A few options, all assuming you turn icloud off for Pages:
The second option assumes a service other than Apple's icloud with more direct file management. For example: Download the DropBox apps and set up an account (basic account is free). Load the files to DropBox via Pages using Open in another app, or via the dropbox website in a browser on a computer (the latter would be much quicker). From the Dropbox app, you can open them in Pages and save the file there. Box will do the same thing.
But honestly, just because particular files exist in icloud doesn't mean you actually have to open them on a specific device. Might be much easier to get creative with some folder naming and leave them as is.
Thanks James, I appreciate your help.
In your option 2 – if I can get them back on the iPad from iCloud, how do I then save them to iPad?
On the computer you can choose where to save them when you click on the title, but I can't find that option on iPad.
how can I save Pages docs to iPad NOT iCloud
