Can only share to mail ipad

You're asking if you can only share files from an iPad to a Mac using Mail.

The answer is no, you don't have to use Mail to share files from an iPad to a Mac. Here are some alternative methods:

  1. AirDrop: If both your iPad and Mac are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, you can use AirDrop to share files. Go to the Files app on your iPad, select the file you want to share, and tap the Share icon. Then, select AirDrop and choose your Mac's name from the list of available devices.
  2. iCloud Drive: You can also use iCloud Drive to share files between your iPad and Mac. Make sure you have iCloud Drive enabled on both devices, then create a new folder or upload a file to iCloud Drive from your iPad. You can then access the file from your Mac by signing in to iCloud Drive on your Mac.
  3. Files app: You can also use the Files app on your iPad to share files with your Mac. Open the Files app, select the file you want to share, and tap the Share icon. Then, select "Share to" and choose your Mac's name from the list of available devices.
  4. Cloud storage services: You can also use cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or Microsoft OneDrive to share files between your iPad and Mac. Upload the file to your cloud storage account from your iPad, and then access it from your Mac by signing in to the same account.

So, while Mail is one way to share files from an iPad to a Mac, it's not the only way.
