Audiobus: Use your music apps together.
What is Audiobus? — Audiobus is an award-winning music app for iPhone and iPad which lets you use your other music apps together. Chain effects on your favourite synth, run the output of apps or Audio Units into an app like GarageBand or Loopy, or select a different audio interface output for each app. Route MIDI between apps — drive a synth from a MIDI sequencer, or add an arpeggiator to your MIDI keyboard — or sync with your external MIDI gear. And control your entire setup from a MIDI controller.

I have stopped using Dropbox since they put a 3 device limit on it. But files integrates better with iCloud anyway
@EyeOhEss copy the files to Documents App or Audioshare. Create a folder/move files to folder/create zip/upload to dropbox.
@EyeOhEss you can either copy&paste within files.app but if thats an issue then use the export option in the dropbox app then use the ipads Document Picker/Copy to...select app.
You can use an intermediary app. I recommend Documents by Readdle.
Install Documents.
Go to Files, find your folder you want to copy and tap ‘select’ then tap the folder.
Tap the move icon at the bottom of the screen. Duplicate it first if you want a copy.
Select iCloud Drive in the destination list and then browse to the Documents folder. (Mine is labelled PDFExpert as I have the two apps linked to add extra capabilities to Documents).
Then tap ‘Move’
Now open Documents, find the folder you’ve just copied (tap edit first) then tap “more” at the bottom of the screen then tap “Upload”.
You can then upload to Dropbox from there. Documents will ask you to authorise Dropbox.
That’s it.
Sounds more long winded than it is. In the future you can save any files you want directly into the Documents folder in iCloud Drive just as you would if you were using the files app but you then use the Documents app to move them around.
Documents can also do things like zip files and folders and can preview documents.
@BiancaNeve : So you’re saying all in all Dropbox is a better bet than iCloud?
Dropbox on iOS is a nightmare, the most unintuitive UI going.
Hi,
Sometimes, if you haven’t saved any presets yet on one device, imported presets won’t show, its like a user folder needs to be created first to import more presets - I don’t own Strng, but have experienced what you describe with other apps. If you’ve already have saved some presets on both devices and they’re still not showing, then maybe it’s a bug?
Hope you get it sorted, all the best
Is there a way to just AirDrop the presets from the phone to the tablet? Seems like that would be easiest and most ideal, and probably fastest, too.
Re “Is this an Apple issue or down to individual devs” - I don’t know. Some apps work perfectly with sharing presets, projects, etc, others don’t. Hwr, a lot of iOS devs are v.good about updating their apps - if you tell them how to reproduce any bugs. Also, fwiw I find iOS much better than desktop due to the portability and touch screen goodness, but that’s just me 😎
Anyways, let everyone here know how you get on, all the best
It's definitely best way how to get files from one to other device.. it's really easy - just select files you want to transfer, hit "Share" bottom left icon. If you put iPhone with enabled airdrop receiving close to your iPad, few seconds after share window is opened it appears in airsrop devices list - just tap it - it moves files and on iphone it asks you which app should open received
I must admit I hate the IOS file system, it seems to be so counter productive compared to desktop windows.
No - I’m saying the exact opposite. Family sharing on a 2tb plan is pretty good value now.
i iOS filesystem and really like Files app... never had even small issue with transfering files from one app to other app, or between devices...
I really hope Apple will never completely open filesystem for free access - that would be huge security hole... Sandboxing approach is one of main reasons why iOS is so secure compared to Android.

Works a treat.... choose share-open in!
