    iPhone Photos > Share > to Files: now forces HEIC

    Hi, With iOS12, I have noticed the Files app no longer does any automatic conversion from HEIC to JPG when saving photos. If I choose Save to Dropbox instead, it does convert to JPG. Files is a great app and I prefer to use it over the Dropbox app. I cannot find any settings for Files, either...

    Flash drive to back up iPad docs (not just photos)

    I was disappointed to find that the SanDisk iXpand can only copy photos and videos from the iPad. I’m hoping that this isn’t a limitation imposed by Apple. I’m a creative pro and need to back up large Procreate and Affinity Photo docs. Yes, I can back up to the cloud, but upload is slow over...
