Sure, there are many convenie= nt features that don't work without setting up some sort of account, but it d= oesn't require *your* information and if you don't need those features, the d= evices are just fine without iCloud. This is less true of google services on Android which often block off featur= es to punish you for not using a google account. > 4. I won't register at a "cloud" storage provider. Then I have to wonder why you have an iPad? This is trivial to do, but I think you've excluded all the trivial ways to d= o it. However, given your constraints what I would do is setup a Synology wi= th its "cloud" (as in, on your own device on your own network) and then sync= that to your FreeBSD with rsync or something. Synology Drive is supported o= n iOS and works very well. I use it to move files from Dropbox to the Synolo= gy for processing. The one thing that is least likely to work is trying to get FreeBSD to talk t= o the iPad directly. Even if you get it to work once, it can stop working at= any point since it is not at all supported. --=20 My main job is trying to come up with new and innovative and effective ways t= o reject even more mail. I'm up to about 97% now.=
