Screen take hold of from Transmit for iOS on my iPad showing a twelve image upload in action.

There are so many ways that I deliver images to various clients these days that I experience that I'thou bound to get out something off of this listing. The great news for users of the iPad or iPhone to practise quick edits of their work is that every single option that I use on the desktop machine is also available on iOS devices;

  • FTP – I employ Transmit on the iPad and iPhone. I also have FTP options inside FSN Pro and Shuttersnitch that can all do a good chore only Transmit does information technology all improve.
  • Electronic mail – calculation large numbers of attachments on the iPad isn't my favourite way to send pictures simply it works.
  • Dropbox – The iOS Dropbox app means that I can easily add files to folders on the cloud service and send links to those folders before, during or later the job. It has a very unproblematic interface and works actually well.
  • WeTransfer – I wasn't very happy when the WeTransfer iOS app went over to performance as "Boards" – making it a very different user experience from the e'er-so-unproblematic desktop version but I've got used to it and it works really well.
  • Photoshelter – The professional image sharing platform has a defended iOS app which is fairly easy to use and very functional.
  • Third Calorie-free – This is a niche Digital Asset Management platform used by two of my corporate clients and the iOS app does its task well.

Six different epitome sharing/transmission options right at that place on my iPad and iPhone, all of which work well and the first 4 interact properly with the iOS Files organization. Once I have saved my edits I can easily select whichever delivery method suits the job and ship my pictures (assuming that I have an internet connection of course). Wherever possible I like to utilize FTP and having Transmit on the iPad and iPhone is a wonderful option because it is and then versatile and considering information technology has the ability to sync settings and passwords from my Mac computers. That means that I can send files to any FTP server that I take fix on my master computers and I tin can add together new ones on iOS devices that get sync'ed to my Macs too. Information technology has so much avant-garde functionality that I wouldn't know where to begin listing information technology all – suffice to say that I have yet to come up against any situation where I've wanted something that information technology doesn't do.

The way that FTP from the Transmit app works for me is elementary. I locate the pictures in Files, select them and use the share option to select the Transmit app. In Transmit I select the FTP server that I wish to send the pictures to and then touch "Upload". If there are any duplicate issues or if there are any other problems y'all get a notification merely otherwise you just let the app practise its job.

In many ways this is the near "sorted" part of the workflow considering I have the same options every bit I practice on a reckoner and those options are provided by the same developers. Sharing photos from iOS devices has pretty much been part of the operating system from day i and, considering of that, it's no surprise that it does it pretty well.

I have put a lot of emphasis on the Apple iOS Files system from the start of this exploration because I believe that it helps to keep my workflow a better 'mirror' of the the one that I employ on my computers. Ane of the chief reasons that I use Files is to cease the Apple Photos app from renaming the pictures – something that Apple tree needs to address if it is going to continue to market the iPad (and especially the iPad Pro) as a business device and a potential replacement for the laptop. The other advantage of using the Files system is that the images can be automatically added to iCloud providing an extra layer of back ups. Of course iCloud works best (and cheapest) where you have practiced wifi rather than relying on cellular and 4G connections.

All-in-all delivering pictures from iOS devices is easy to set up and easy to do – if only the import and editing parts of the process were so well sorted!
