Dropbox StaffThanks for posting on our forum, colin66!
Does he have his own Dropbox account where the photos are saved?
If yes, he can move all these photos in a folder on Dropbox, create a shared link for them instead and send it to you. With this link, you should be able to access the entire folder and download the photos from it.
Let me know if you need further help, though.

Ah, I see. There are cables and other means to connect his iPad to your computer indeed. However, you’d need to check this with a local shop/manufacturer, since we can’t provide support I’m afraid.
As for creating a Dropbox account for him, you can go to the App Store on his iPad and install the Dropbox mobile app from there. Upon opening the app, there should be an option to create a Dropbox account.
