Getting some photos onto an old Ipad Mini
Discussion
Can anyone help with this? I have a really old 1st gen iPad Mini and I want to use it as a standalone hand held photo album at an event. I just want to be able to swipe through a load of photos whilst not connected to the web or anything. The photos are currently on a USB stick and in my Google Drive storage. The iPad is so old that the Chrome and Drive Apps are not supported so I can't access the pics that way. Dropbox app wont run on it either. I can't see any way to get files onto the iPad via iTunes.
Can anyone help?

How old and what OS as the Files app should be available for it - which would mean a drag/drop scenario … or if you have a mac, just airdrop them directly
I’d have to come back on the exact OS, but I did check already and there’s no Files app. It’s the first ever Mini, so it’s pretty old.I don't think any iPad Mini used the old 30-pin connector, but were only Lightning. You can get an USB / SD Card reader that will plug into the Lightning Port:

Hmmm.... Just read that it doesn't have the Files app, so not sure this will work...
Is it a static set of images, or do they change per event? E.g. Are you taking photos at an event and want to share them?
If they are in Google Drive, can you not hotspot to your phne and use Safari to view the Google drive?

I use iMazing which lets you drag and drop between Mac and iPad/iPhone (among other useful things)
From the tech specs, it looks to support all the way back to iPad 1st generation https://imazing.com/tech-specs
