The New Ipad Expandable Storage

[dchristo]

I think a lot of new 'pad users like me come into the experience thinking they'll create word-processing documents and slideshows on their 'pads and save them on the machine like on their PCs. What I quickly discovered is that the 'pad is NOT a computer at all, but a communications and lifestyle device for accessing and enjoying media and the web. Sure, you can use an MS Word clone to whip up a report for the boss, but as soon as you get used to saving it on iCloud or Dropbox, you'll be as comfortable as you were with the PC.

I'am try to gain more storage on my iPad which has only 1 Gig left.What I want to do is store my apps data on the cloudFTP (hard drive) and keep my Icons on the iPad. So this will give me more storage. Is this doable.It was mention a few post above. the person in this post figured it out but did not say how.

Both Apps and icons need to stay on the iPad but movies, documents, photos can all be moved off. I believe that iTunes purchased music and films would need to remain on the iPad.

It can be done. You'll need a jail broken iPad and an SD card and camera connection kit.

What you need to do is go into I file and move the app from your iPad onto the SD card. Once that's done go back into the applications folder on your iPad and create a link to the app you now have stored on the SD card.

This is how I have done it. Using an SD card. I'm not sure how it would work with the cloud FTP (or whatever it is). But you could try using the same method.

tiffy83 Is their any way you can post a you tube video showing how to do this. Would make it a lot easier. I am already broken all I need is I file.

When i do this it works great, until i reboot my ipad. Then the "app" dissapears from my springboard and i have to move it back from my SD card and restart the process. Have you found a way around this?

Edit: Just to clarify, i was able to play games from the SD card by cutting the app from ipad to an SD card using ifile, and then creating a link back to app folder.

Hi guys,

Just Wondered if anyone had a solution to the apps disapearing after rebooting the ipad. ? I also had success when cutting the app/game and copying to the SD card then creating a link from there back to the application folders but when rebooting the icons of the apps disapear.

Thanks

I have been able to transfer small apps to my sd card and link them to the applications folder and launch them successfully, however I can't seem to cut/copy larger apps to my sd card. I am using iFile....any suggestions or alternatives to iFile?
