    You are a mind reader. This is exactly what I had in mind to do but had no idea where to start. Totally agree about paying the 9.99 for icloud, been doing it for years and it was only suppose to be a temporary solution so i am now long over due for this new set up. Thank you for making the video.

    It’s good but a lot of extra work. I appreciate the ease of use iCloud offers. So as long I’m within the 200GB i’ll keep using iCloud. For 2,99 a month i wouldn’t switch to this option. I also Think that if people are a bit more selective 200GB should be enough for most people. Back-Up what you don’t need and keep what you use local (and just to be sure also in the cloud)

    That’s the thing though, I never thought I would fill up 200G, then I way surpassed that. LOL. Video files are huge, mine are at least 2 G and I film in 1080 only. Some people film in 4K, which I used to and those files were 1 gig per minute. So only 200 minutes worth of footage and that cloud is full. It goes fast, I’ve already downgraded to 50 gig a month for .99. Yeah! I’ll back up when the cloud says I’m getting close to full and save myself $9 a month. Financially, this is the best way to manage my files. Like you said though, everyone is different and that 200 gig is a lot of room for the majority of users. Thanks for watching and sharing!

    I am intrigued by this method because Inhave around 35000 photos I need to get off between the iPad and the phone. I still don’t understand why the travel router is a good way, if one is transferring right at home. Will this method still be much faster? I found that the usb from iPad to computer just does not work (extremely slow). I am really desperate to get the photos off both devices...but also get them into albums and categories. Photos in albums on ipad do not even move off in albums but as separate images according to when they were taken. I have been researching this for a few months now...I am not techie. I need help.

    Hello Tammy, I have a question for you and hope you can help me. A few weeks ago I took test shots with my 5 action cams while riding a motorcycle. I then copied this data to a hard drive using the FileHub. But to make a film out of it in Luma Fusion, I copied the data (approx. 120GB) to my iPad to do this on the go (the data is in a separate folder on the iPad). And lo and behold, I haven't had an iPad backup since. The iPad wants to secure everything, but in that case it shouldn't. Do you have a tip for me? I would be happy if I got an answer. Best regards

    I’d love to help but I don’t really understand what you’re asking me. You’re iPad hasn’t had a backup? iPad wants to secure everything? I don’t know what that means. Why didn’t you just put the footage directly into your iPad to begin with? You should utilize the cloud always. I use the RAV power to backup completed files, just to store them. Are you having a problem getting your data into LF? I just need to understand the workflow and what you’re trying to do and where you’re hitting problems. Hope to help ya!

    Tammy Sypniewski Hello Tammy, during a motorcycle tour I copy the data from the cameras to a hard drive with the File Hub - so I collect this data. When I am back from my tour, I copy the files of one day (for a video) directly to a directory (Temp) on the iPad (approx. 120GB) to be able to cut them on the go or when there is time. During this time, my iPad does not make a backup because it obviously tries to back up this data too - it takes days via WiFi. What do you suggest, how should I proceed? Thank you in advance for your support!

    Roberto Walther How many gigs on your iPad? Maybe your data is exceeding what’s left on your iPad? For my workflow I utilize the cloud but I’m not on the road like you. Yes a file size of 120 gig will take a long time to transfer. This is why for your flow I think you should utilize the cloud. It’s so much faster. When’s the last time you cleared out your LumaFusion cache? LF makes several backups of your movies and if you don’t clean out the cache this will gobble up the space on your iPad. When you say backup your iPad hasn’t backed up what does that mean?

    My issue with backing up is that I find you have to re-backup everything on newer ex-drives every so often because these external drives have an expiry date. I lost so many files not knowing this. Luckily I was already backing up some data when I realized my drive was crashing. Everything else was lost. Granted this was YEARS back, are ex-drives still as risky???? I hate iCloud and would greatly love to rid myself of their "services"... is this method the safest?

    I think you will find the little white connector you have will work, but you must first make sure that you hard drive is formatted to exFAT and not NTFS which is the normal format you get the hard drive formatted in, it just that Apple iPads and iPhones will not read the NTFS format. I hope this will help you. The Bonus is it won’t matter how slow Your Wi-Fi is because the drive will be plugged in directly to your iPad. You will see the hard drive will be listed is in the File folder on your iPad.
