Question about letter combinations on number pad? ou outputJeff386
I'm considering buying an I Pad for my studies.
it is possible to drag Office documents created on the iPad onto a USB stick and then to open them again on a Windows laptop without anything in the document moving or the like.
If you create these with Microsoft Office programs on the iPad, chances are it will work.
You can connect a USB stick to "normal" iPads using a suitable OTG adapter. The iPad Pro comes with USB-C - but you'll probably need an adapter for that too.
You can also exchange documents very easily, for example via iCloud or Dropbox or OneDrive or Google Drive or NextCloud or via network sharing on your PC (yes, the files app can also access Windows shares directly under iOS).
Maybe this page will help you:
This USB stick has e.g. USB A and USB C. You could probably plug it in directly.
You can try it. But as I said: even if it doesn't work with the USB stick, there are still enough alternatives open to you.
Wasn't my question. My comment should rather complement your (good) answer.
In that case I would also use OneDrive, which is probably the simplest method to transfer files or to request files directly from them and you always have the latest version directly available
Oh, sorry:-) I overlooked…
Exactly, because Office would like to work with OneDrive anyway (both are from Microsoft).
And because, as far as I know, even the free version offers more storage space than iCloud or GoogleDrive
That was the case, currently it is 5GB free according to MS. But iCloud Drive already offers that and I also mean Google Drive.
AH OK
No plan, because I use Office 365 and up to 5 people besides me can use their OneDrive cloud of 1TB each…
Yes, that's because of Office 365. I still have 15GB because I set up OneDrive ages ago, when Windows Live was still called Windows Live.
I know it's because of 365, so that's why I got it
If you buy an iPad Pro, you can use external hard drives or USB sticks via the USB-C port…
It is much easier to have access to the files via OneDrive… On the iPhone / iPad via the Files app… If you use Office on the laptop as a subscription, you have 1 TB of OneDrive storage free…
But please keep in mind that the Office apps on an iDevice are a stripped-down version that can't be compared with a laptop variant. You can use it to write a letter or something like that, but I wouldn't want to use the iPad for an extensive seminar work.
For this reason I have e.g. Bought a Surface for my son to study… Optimal pencil integration, optimal office applications…
