Hi, guys. I work at a school where we use iPads for music education. We’ve got a bit of an issue though. Some kids delete other people’s music projects, and that obviously sucks.

Is there a way to lock certain files so the kids can give their own files their own password protection or something so nobody gets their stuff sabotaged?

Other creative solutions are appreciated as well!

Thanks guys!

Edit: The music room has a Mac, so thanks to your helpful suggestions, we’re gonna try with the AirDrop method where they drop to the host machine that the teacher has access to.

    Workflow-wise, airdropping larger files can be finicky and slow, especially if students are involved in the process or if the WiFi network is slow.

    Alternatively, instructors could use the standard USB sync feature to move sessions on or off the devices to any computer running iTunes. This might be more reliable and could give instructors a greater degree of creative flexibility re: what is backed up vs what students have direct access to.

    Edit: my bad, didn’t check post date.
