My iPad is slow probably due to the data storage is almost full. I have a cloud account and am assuming that I can move the data to that location and speed up the iPad. I'm just not sure if my assumption is correct and I don't know the process to transfer the data..
iCloud is a syncing service. As such it maintains a local copy of anything you move to iCloud on the device you moved it from. Which means no space is actually saved.
Depending on what data you wish to transfer you may able to save space. Things like photos can be uploaded to iCloud Photo Library, and then optimized on the iPhone to save space.
If your aim is to free up space on your iPad, iCloud is generally not the way, however.
You may want to transfer content onto a computer instead.
Unfortunately the best way to get space on the iPad is to delete stuff
DOwnloaded content can be deleted and always redownloaded later....for example you can delete a movie, get a few gig back and always redownload it if you want to watch it later (one caveat being that the content must still be available online)
Are there apps you don't use anymore? If you haven't opened a game or app in months/years, do you still need it?
PHotos....you can always upload yours photos to a service like flickr, then delete them from your iPad. Flickr gives you a terabyte of space so it can be convenient online storage for your material.
Settings, general, storage and iCloud usage can show you what is taking up the most room and you can go from there.
sometimes in. your mail the mail app keeps a copy of all sent mails.....well if you dont need those you can delete them.
