How do I sync a spreadsheet file from iPad Air to iMac?

I need to sync individual files (mostly spreadsheets and word documnets -  xlsx and docx) between an iPad Air and an iMac.  How do I do this? 
The only way I have found is to email it back and forth - dangerous as you can have issues with versions.  If I was still using my old PC and laptop I would drag the document back and forth between shared folders.  The iPad doesn't use folders.........

Apple's Numbers and Pages apps do that automatically, by design, through iCloud. They can also read and write their equivalent Microsoft formats.
Otherwise, you have to use the method you describe, Dropbox, or equivalent file sharing programs.

    How do I sync my iPhone contacts on iPad Air.
    iCloud is already enabled and configured on both devices but can not get my contacts in the iPad.  Additionally, the groups button isn't in contacts app and when I save a new contact on the iPad simply disappears and again is no contact in the contact list.

    Using iCloud is the easiest way: http://www.apple.com/uk/icloud/setup/

  • How can i transfer my music files from iPad 2 to MacBook Pro?

    hello,
    I got my mp3 files from PC and transfer to iPad 2. it works good.
    And I want to transfer this mp3 files from iPad to MacBook Pro.
    I don't know how to do it and it seems like I should 'buy some tranfer program from other website'.
    Should it word that way? or iTunes program can't deal this issue?
    I have changed some music file information (such as Album, Artist, etc) of mp3 files in iPad from iTune in MacBook. Of course, the iPad was connected to the MacBook. However after I disconnected the iPad from the Mac, those changes were not shown in the iPad (edited album name, artist name...). When I connect the iPad to the Mac again, I can see the changes in iTune in the Mac.
    Another issue.

  • How to transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (late 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ?

    Hi guys and galls,
    How can I transfer a 8GB .MOV file from MacBook Air (mid 2013) via external HD (Samsung S2 Portable) to a Dell laptop ? The mentioned file currently will not let me transfer it to my ext HD. I want to upload it afterwards to a Dell laptop with Windows software installed.
    Reformatting the drive doesn't seem to be the sollution, since this will erase all the data stored on the ext HD, and it will only allow me to use the drive with either Apple or Microsoft equipment.
    Please HELP, running out of options here... Thnx, "Apple-Dummy"

    Attach the HDD to your MBP.  Click on the icon on the desktop COMMAND+I. It will produce a display such as this and look what it says by FORMAT.
    How do I format my External HD: FAT or ExFAT?
    Do this on a PC.  You will have to use the Windows equivalent of Disk Utility.  I am not a Windows user so I cannot give you detailed information regarding this.  I have seen on these forums that there are at times compatibility problems if formatted on a Mac.
    Which one is preferred, FAT or ExFAT? And why?
    Use ExFAT.  FAT has a file size limitation of 4 GB.

  • How can I convert a numbers' file from iPad to an excel file on macbook pro?

    When I try to open a numbers file from my ipad mini in macbook pro, it appears unformated. How can I solve this situation? I don't have numbers on Macbook pro...is it necessary?

    I havne't had this problem myself, so I can only guess, but my first suggestion, if you haven't already, is to try sending it to yourself via email from the ipad & when it asks you for the format, choose excel.

  • How do I transfer powerpoint file from iPad air to usb thumb drive

    I'm interested in using powerpoint on ipad for conferences, rather than toting my laptop around. But the conferences that I go to usually have a computer attached to the video display, so I need to upload my presentation to that computer by thumbdrive. How can I get a ppt off my ipad to a usb thumbdrive if I don't have any other computer with me?

    Yeah, well, e-mailing assumes that I have the talk done when I get to the meeting, or even that it's done, say, more than an hour before I'm scheduled to give it.
    And my ipad is my netbook -- I use it with a bluetooth keyboard to edit docs in Pages, and with Office I can do the same in Word (makes things easier for me now). I already have a laptop; I don't want three devices, I just am trying to see if I can get away with carrying just my ipad on conference trips.
    Between you and Rob, I have some leads now on what devices to look for; I guess I may have to try to find someone or some store who has one so I can try it myself.

  • How to view Google Drive offline files on iPad Air

    It there away to make movie file available to view offline on my iPad Air?

    The only way to view a file "offline" is to download it, regardless of the app or cloud system used. When you check a file as being available offline, that is what it does - downloads a copy for local use.
    In the Google drive app, tap on the icon to the right of the item., the turn Available Offline ON. (This will download a copy of off line use). You must be Online when you do this, obviuosly. If you are using another app to connect to Google, and the app support offline viewing, it should have a similar mechanism.
