How to Download Directly to an iPad

For newish iPads (2018 onwards) with iOS 11.1 or higher, you can use Option 1 or Option 2 below:

  • Option 1 – Easy: You can download directly using the Safari Browser and the built-in Files app.

(There is a step-by-step on how to do this below in ‘How to Use the Files App’ FAQ)

For iPads using an older operating system, you can use:

  • Option 2 – slightly more complicated but I prefer the video player: Download using  the ‘Documents’ app (I find Documents has a better video player than the Files app)
