Mar 17, 2008 Sending GarageBand files I want to send a garageband (.band) file to my friend for him to listen to and edit etc. But i'm having trouble sending it. When i go to musicgarageband in the upload window, the files' names are in grey (rather than black, i.e not bold and not selectable) apart from one (which is annoyingly one i don't want to send). In doing this I found some shortfalls, including the ability to share from GarageBand. How to share from GarageBand to Google Drive. Garageband is a free (to all new iOS customers) app and covers a lot of bases for you as a creative — be it recording guitar or any other audio on iPhone or iPad. Jun 17, 2016 So, you've recorded and mixed a song in GarageBand.Now it’s time to share your song with the world. In its current state, your tune can only be played within GarageBand, so you need to export it — or “bounce it down” — to a single audio file that can be played in common audio applications.

Hey all,

I'm currently using GB on my iPadPro, and would like to collaborate with another fellow musician. I'm having a hard time being able to send him a GB project. It says online you can share it to iTunes, then share it from there, however I don't have a computer, I have an iPad Pro..
I have tried email, Dropbox, etc, and it wants to mix the project down to an MP4 before sending. Not what I want..
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

one idea would be to share it to iCloud Drive, when you do this it will offer on option to save the project file there. Then go into the iCloud Drive and share the project there via email.
If it's especially large, iOS should offer the ability to send it via MailDrop
Additionally you could share it via 'open in', then choose Google Drive..when you do this It also presents the option to send the project file.

But it was a hell of a hassle.

Unfortunately, your options are pretty limited. Have you tried Apple support? They should be able to help with iCloud/upload issues.
Otherwise, you're looking at a 3rd party solution like what @BiancaNeve is describing.

Apple support said to use iTunes..hate to think if you spend $1000 on the iPadPro, I now have to go buy a laptop to transfer files..

How does ifiles2 work

Actually forget it. My method worked on iPad Air 2. But the transfer from iCloud on iPad Pro seems to get stuck.
1st download the app
iFiles 2 - File Manager, Cloud Storage, PDF Reader by Imagam.com
https://appsto.re/gb/tBD2bb.i
Add iCloud Drive as a service
Open Gagageband App
Press select
Select a track
Press the share button
Press iCloud Drive
Select Project
Select the ifiles folder in iCloud Drive
Open the ifiles app
Press the iCloud button. (you should see a folder called whatever you named your song)
Click on this and press download select local files
Once the transfer has completed you can zip it and email it or upload to Dropbox one drive etc

Yes......
but how to share it then with others?
Multi touch screen virtual dj skin download. By the way: it is also possible to send a zipped .band file to Dropbox via the free iZip app, without using iCloud Drive. I just did it. But I have no good ideas about sharing it with others. As I understand it iCloud Drive is only about sharing with your own devices. I could send the link of the zipped .band Dropbox file to others, but I can't find a way for them to import the zipped .band file into their GB (without the use of a PC).
They need to unzip the .band file and save it to their own iCloud Drive. Then in GB they can just press plus then import from iCloud
Good info here for escaping the walled garden. Thank you @BiancaNeve and @Marcel
