Another stupid Mac question

[GetCarter]

Apologies.

If I connect a Mac Book Pro to an iPad Pro via a lightning cable, will I be able to transfer files both ways?

TIA

[Phunk]

Simple answer - yes

[GetCarter]

Ta

So I won't need to arse about with the iTunes nonsense?

[Phunk]

You will

Bugger.

Why can't I just drag a file from one folder to another like any normal FTP. Bloody hate iTunes, me.

Use the new notes app in El Capitan and iOS 9 or dropbox.

Or iCloud Drive.

Or send them through AirDrop

Or email them to yourself

Apple doesn't really like wired transfers.

The files are several Gb in size… guess it's an overnight Dropbox
