If you frequently use your iPad to access remote servers, check out Fredericco's post[1] at Macstories: there he mentions using FileExplorer[2], which lets you access and copy files to and from remote servers (SCP, SMB, etc) without leaving Apple's Files app. 1: https://www.macstories.net/ipad-diaries/ipad-diaries-using-a-mac-from-ios-part-1-finder-folders-siri-shortcuts-and-app-windows-with-keyboard-maestro/#accessing-macos-files-from-ios-fileexplorer-and-the-files-app https://www.macstories.net/ipad-diaries/ipad-diaries-using-a... 2: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id499470113?at=10l6nh&ct=ms_inline https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/id499470113?at=10l6nh&ct=ms_... --- My iPad Pro has been my only computer for nearly a year, and I miss my Windows Machine and VMs. Some things that help me make do: 1. a VPS with a VNC server installed: I connect with Screens and, for example, can use Firefox's Dev tools. Performance could be better (I'm a ways from my VPS), but it's much better than nothing. 2. A Google Pixel 2 (or any Android phone) + a USB-C to USB adapter. This lets me put files on a flash drive, or even write Linux ISOs. I've found that, in a pinch, I can often do on my phone what I would have used my desktop to do. 3. Termux[1] was mentioned here recently, and I installed it, then loaded vim and tmux. SSHing into my phone from my iPad, I have lightning fast (low latency) Linux environment. Have just started using Termux, but for those with similar setups (iOS + Android), it may be worth a look. 4. Exploit the iPad's strengths. LiquidText[2] is, as they say on the site, "Better than paper". It's been revolutionary for reading my PDFs and extracting and connecting and cross-referencing information in them. 1: https://termux.com/ https://termux.com/
