Drag Files Between Devices
What This Does
Drag files, images, and text between Mac and iPad.
Why It's Useful
Universal Control turns the gap between screens into a drag-and-drop bridge. Files land where you need them without AirDrop or cloud sync.
How to Do It
- Set up Universal Control
- Open a compatible app on the iPad
- On the Mac, click and hold a file or image
- Drag it across the screen edge onto the iPad
- Drop it into the destination app
Try This Now

Mental Hook: Drag across the invisible bridge.
