I used iCloud to sync my photos and it worked great! Just make sure both devices are updated and on the same Wi-Fi. It took a little while for all the photos to sync, but totally worth it.
Thanks for sharing your experience! iCloud can sometimes take time based on internet speed and the number of photos. AirDrop is indeed faster for smaller selections.
I didn’t have much luck with iCloud syncing. It took forever for my photos to show up on my iPad. AirDrop was much quicker for me!
Can I transfer videos too or just photos using AirDrop?
