Importing saved work onto YOUR iPad Link to Dropbox, if your iPad is already linked, you may not see this screen, remember it has to be on the right Dropbox account and folder for you to access it. If you don’t save it in the right one, don’t expect to find it again!
Importing saved work onto YOUR iPad
Select the file you saved it in, then open up YOUR file. It really helps if you’ve NAMED the FILE CLEARLY Remember if there are 2 people with the same names, use surnames to tell them apart!
Loading will take time depending on the file size AND your Wifi Connection – No Wifi? No work!
And there you have it…. Your work from School, ready on your iPad at Home! GENIUS!
Importing saved work onto YOUR iPad
