We can use splitscreen on iPad to transfer or move files from one application to another.
We will often have a request wondering how to quickly move pictures from iPad to Google Drive.
For the example below, I used splitscreen on my iPad to move some pictures in my Photos app to my Google Drive.
1. Open Photos
2. Open Safari, but in splitscreen mode. Navigate to your Google Drive folder.
See video below for reference:
3. Tap and drag photos from the left side of your screen to the right side.

Here are the tech directions that were emailed out to students on May 6th:
GMS Students-
ALL iPads will be wiped this summer so as you prepare for device and charger turn-in on May 26 (5th&6th) and May 27 (7th&8th) please follow the below instructions to ensure the data you wish to save (that is stored on your current device) is backed up. Please note anything already saved in Google (Email, drive, docs, sheets, etc.) will be accessible next year when you log back into your school email. If you want to save any additional files, downloads, photos, etc. you MUST follow the directions below. Please also note that you can select multiple files at the same time but if they are larger (like photos) be prepared for it to take some time for the upload to complete. While the selected file is uploading your iPad needs to remain open and connected to wifi.
Saving Files on Google Drive:
Step 1: Log into your @grinnell-k12.org email using a Safari browser.Step 2: Tap on the App Launcher (see Step 2 in the photo below).
Step 3: Tap on Drive to open your Google Drive (see Step 3 in the photo below).
Step 4: To make it easier to find items you may want to create folder(s) in Drive first, so you can easily group the files you drag in.
To Add a Folder:
On the left side, under the word Drive, tap New, then tap Folder, then name the folder, then tap Create.
To Upload Files:
1. To make this easier you may need to split the screen between Safari browser and Files App or Photos so you can see your browser and the app at the same time to drag items into Drive.
2. Open Files App or Photos and simply tap on the file(s) you want to save and drag it into the folder you created in Drive or drag anywhere in Drive and in the bottom right corner it will show the upload process.
