Re: Downloading content from Google Drive to iPad
Actually, you should be able to just copy them over. First, make sure iTunes is not set to load automatically when you plug in an iDevice. You do not need iTunes for this. Take a picture with the iPad to make sure you have one photo on it already, though that may not be necessary. Plug the USB cable into the computer and the iPad. Use Windows explorer to navigate to the iPad. Just keep selecting and hitting enter on the folders until you either get an empty folder, or find a folder with an image file. Then, navigate to the folder where your photos are stored, select all, copy, and alt-tab back to the iPad and paste. Plan to wait a good while for them all to copy. Then, open the photos app, and they should all be there.

RE: Downloading content from Google Drive to iPad
Thanks for replying. This is probably what I’m looking to do. Would you happen to know if the folder structure would be maintained if I copy over folder by folder instead of just dumping all the pictures together? We’ll probably use Photo Stream or some other solution for future picture taking, but it’s getting this first dump of 9 gb plus of photos on to their iPad that’s the rub.

Re: Downloading content from Google Drive to iPad
I suspect if the folder structure is the same as on an iPhone, it probably would work. If you have the photos in different folders on the Windows machine, your guess is as good as mine. It is worth a try with a folder or two, and see what happens. I'd be interested to hear.
