But, I can't seem to find the files from the iPad.  Sorry, I'm an iPad
newbie doing this for my neighbor, who is studying to become a US
citizen.  On top of that, the iOS is in a foreign language.  :-)

The files should be in the Downloads or Documents folder, then they

iPadOS / iOS doesn't let you access files from anywhere you like. They
have to be in specific locations, one reason why you shouldn't really
use "manager" apps like iMazing or similar to transfer files across to
the iPad or iPhone unless you know what you're doing.

Thanks, good to know. I knew there was some iOS file system rules I was missing. So simple yet so hard to find when you need to know. But, these types of file system rules are really arbitrary and senseless.
Come on, Apple !!
Also, just invested in a Plug-n-Play USB adapter for iPad. This should make it easier for my neighbor. But, the "archaic" DCIM file system rule is really an embarrassment for a pioneer company like Apple.
It may have been fine when it was hidden back then but it is now sticking out like a sore thumb.
Come on, Apple !!
