"open with" with large files in iOS 8.3?

Hye, I'm on an ipad mini wifi running iOS 8.3.

I'm trying to transfer a large file from my iMac.


I tried first with Instashare.

The option "open with"worked over wifi for a 300 megabites file.

But it fails with a file over 500 megabites.

I'm getting an error message saying that the app can crash with files over 100 megabites.

The app I want to open it in with, isn't even listed anymore in the dropdown menu.


I tried to sen the app with iMazing and opening it on the ipad mini with Fileapp.

But again, I'm not seeing any "open with"-apps in the dropdown menu.


Is there a way to get this working?

It's becoming very frustrating...

Thanks...

iPad Mini, iOS 8.1.3

HI Heusnie, have you tried using the iCloud Drive? You should be able to upload your file from your Mac and then going into the iCloud Drive on your iPad to download it there. As long as you have the sand software to open it on both devices, that should work.
