Make sure your pix and vids are backed up to Google Drive

Google Photos –> [If you’ve never set it up, you’ll need to login and make some selections. Use your uncommon sense.] –> Click the top right icon. You should an indication that the backup is happening.

Third:
Bring the iPad to DS1 [or the ARC, if DS1 is closed].
