    and?

     

    Anyway,

     

    Online services such as Dropbox, Box, and Google Drive will require an internet connection, and will limit the amount of storage you have online. That's the nature of online services.

     

    Any other App that can store locally will use the iPads storage, bear in mind that is also limited, and in some cases not too far off of whats available on online services.  16GB (base iPad capacity)  can be matched by pretty much any online storage service.

     

    iBooks, stores books and PDFs but little else.

    iFiles supports a wide variety of file formats for local storage as well as connections to many popular online storage services.  So this may be a good choice.

    You can take a look at its interface here:

    https://itunes.apple.com/en/app/ifiles/id336683524?mt=8

     

    Dropbox, Box, and Doogle Drive all require internet access, however you can set items to be available offline as well, but that may not be very convenient.

    Thank you Phil124 for your thorough response. I think I'll try ifiles and abandon the others as it's important for me to have all my work together on one App.

    i Was trying to import a number of ppts onto ifiles from my laptop through iTunes interface and the Apps( on iPad tab) and they didn't transfer over to my iPad. Do you think this is because I chose a large no. To transfer at one time? There's adequate storage space on iPad.

    The number of files should not be an issue. What App where you transferring them to?
