ipad pro PowerPoint file to usb drive

Is there a way to transfer Office 365 files to a USB drive on the iPad Pro? I travel around the world and often have to give a file, e.g. powerpoint file, to someone for a presentation. If I replace my Macbook Pro with the iPad Pro, I need to be able to get presentations and other files onto a thumb drive. I've looked as SanDisk and other apps/devices but don't find a solution. The iPad Pro would be a great replacement if I could do this one operation.

This SanDisk USB flash drive WILL work!

You transfer files from iPad to USB flash drive over WIfI.

This works with any iDevice/Android device., I use one for my iPad and my Mom has one for her iPad.

This works for what you need this to do.

You need to reformat the drive on a computer from ExFat to MS-DOS Fat as a lot of current and older electronic devices that can have access/read USB flash drives cannot read the ExFat format, but CAN read MS-DOS format.

The limitation of the MS-DOS Fat format is you can't have a single data file no bigger than 4GB in size.

Also, you can either create folder structures on the computer OR you can create folders on this USB flash drive through the iPad.

This drive has a special iOS app that you use to access the drive.

In addition the WiFi signal along with the flash memory nature of the drive allows you to store and stream video content from the drive.

It looks like this only works with photos or videos. I have created a presentation in PowerPoint on the iPad and want to copy it to the drive.      I don't see any way to get it to the drive. In the San Disk app (San Disk Connected Drive) it refers to My Downloads. I can use my computer to copy files into My Downloads and I can open them, but saving a new file is not as easy.

Any suggestions?

Okay I see what you mean.

You can upload videos and images easily to the drive from the iPad, but no way to do this easily with any documents on the iPad, itself.

I hadn't realised this.

I"ll check the Seagate website about this.

Thanks for the help!

I checked the SanDisk website and you can only load documents and presentations onto the drive from a computer.

No way once is it saved in an app to the iPad to transfer it back to the drive.

Could you use somethimg like DropBox or iCloud or Evernote or something like Team Viewer or another offsite, "Cloud" server app to upload the presentation to the server and have a link or some way to have the recipient get the file from the cloud to their device?

Check out File sharing apps in the iOS App store.

Search

file sharing apps.

There might be something that may work for you.

I am thinking about downloading a couple of these to try.

Good Luck!

I took the iPad Pro back to the apple store last night. Too bad, I was really looking forward to it working as my laptop replacement.

The apple tech agreed that there was no way to transfer a file to a thumb drive without a laptop which defeats the purpose. I travel around the world and often need to have my presentation on a thumb drive to put on the conference computer. Many times, even in the US, there is no wireless network available on the host computer. The wireless SanDisk drive seemed like a great solutions. In fact, I hope someone will make a device like this that allows airdrop to transfer files. If that were available, I would be getting on a plane with a new iPad Pro. Now, I just bring my 15" Macbook Pro. Thanks for the help..

Can you provide more information about reformatting the SanDisk Connect to move powerpoint from an ipad to a usb device.

I already went to that web site and had a long conversation with tech support person.  they could not help but are researching your post.  With out a usb connection the iPad is far less useful for real work and interface with other computers.  Apple should tell you this when you buy the device. 

Why not use a cloud service like DropBox?

Because when you are at a conference, you walk into the lecture hall and hand your flash drive to the IT guy and he up loads you presentation.  It is typically very close to show time and doing the drop box thing is difficult at best.  Just one more thing you have to deal with.  The rest of the world works on flash drives.

You have to use the bulit in Wifi hotspot that is part of that drive to transfer files back and forth.

You don't use the USB connection.

Download the app for this drive.

You turn on the Wifi signal on the drive with the side button.

This drive generates its own local WiFi hotspot.

That is why you need to keep the drive charged up over a USB charger.

In Settings App, Wifi, the drive should show up as a Wifi spurce, select the flash drive to connect up to.

I am not sure what other app or procedures you need to use to get your PPP to the Sandisk app to transfer it to the flash drive over WiFi.

Maybe the SanDisk drive or app appears in the PP app under the share feature (either the app says share or uses the symbol of a square with an arrow through it.)

I have only used this for videos, pics and documents/PDFs.

Not sure about how to get an iPad created PP presentation to this drive via WiFi.

The needs to be able to have the Sandisk drive or app listed in the share or share icon feature to be able to make the back and forth WiFi transfer.

Good Luck!

ive never had a problem telling the person in charge my presentation was on DropBox. Granted the places I've presented have all had web access but i stopped carrying my presentations on flash drives a long time ago

Here's one that plugs directly into your iPhone / iPad via the Lightning connector. Doesn't get any easier than that.

You then use the App to do all the transfers.
