I’m an android guy and my partner is iPhone, she isn’t very tech literate and has an old iPad.

I don’t want to connect the older iPad to my network but I’d like to get some MP4 videos on it of learning and Nursary rhymes for my daughter when on a car journey.

I’ve plugged it in but I can’t seem to drag and drop. I use Linux so not sure iTunes is an option, thank you.

Are there any tricks?

Can modern ipads be mounted as a file system. It’s kinda annoying, going to try @plutolink suggestion.

I even tried just downloading them from a local webserver but safari on an older ipad can’t download, only stream the MP4.

No, modern iPads can also not be mounted as file system. But iTunes allows access to some application specific folders on the iPad
