How to Transfer Videos from iPad to iPad with/without iCloud?

When you buy a new iPad, the first thing you need to do is transfer your data from your old iPad to your new iPad. So, how can you transfer your videos to the new iPad? You've come to the right place. This article introduces 4 methods to transfer videos from iPad to iPad, helping you easily accomplish the video transfer.

Part 1. How to Transfer Videos from iPad to iPad with iCloud

iCloud is a convenient way to transfer videos, allowing users to share files across different Apple devices via cloud synchronization. With iCloud, you don't need additional tools or devices—just an internet connection to complete the video transfer. However, it depends on your network speed and is limited by iCloud's free storage space (5GB).

Here is how to send videos from one iPad to another via iCloud:

Step 1. Make sure both iPads are using the same Apple ID. You can check or change your account in the "Settings" app.

Step 2. In "Settings", tap your Apple ID profile, then select "iCloud".

Step 3. If your videos are stored in "Photos", enable the "iCloud Photos" option. If the videos are stored in another location (like the Files app), ensure that "iCloud Drive" is enabled. (iCloud photos not syncing?)

Step 4. On the source iPad, save the videos you want to transfer to "Photos" or "iCloud Drive". Once uploaded, the target iPad will automatically sync these videos.

Part 2. How to Transfer Videos from iPad to iPad Without iCloud

As mentioned earlier, iCloud's free storage space is limited. If your iCloud storage is full and you don't want to upgrade your plan, there are several other easy ways to transfer videos. Here are a few commonly used methods.
