Divinity: Original Sin 2 iPad Save Transfer: iCloud, Finder, or iTunes?

Pick a transfer route based on your devices

iCloud route: verify both settings and the resulting file

Larian describes iCloud sync for saves available on other Apple devices with the same game syncing enabled. This should not be presented as a general cross-save promise for Windows, consoles, or accounts outside that documented Apple route.

1. On iPad, enable iCloud syncing for Divinity 2 under Apple ID → iCloud.
2. In iPad Settings → Divinity 2, enable “Store profiles and saves in iCloud.”
3. Open Files → iCloud Drive and verify that the Divinity 2 Saves folder appears/syncs.
4. Check the other Apple device uses the same iCloud account and has Divinity 2 syncing enabled before opening the intended profile.

Manual file copy: Finder for Mac, iTunes for PC

The paths and steps above follow Larian's support FAQ. A profile name, edition, or destination mismatch can make the expected save appear absent even when a folder was copied.

1. Connect the iPad with USB and trust the device if prompted.
2. On Mac, open Finder, select the iPad in Locations, choose Files, and expand Divinity 2. Copy the Larian Studios folder to the Mac before replacing anything on the iPad.
3. On PC, open the iPad in iTunes, select File Sharing, choose Divinity 2, and save the Larian Studios folder to the PC.
4. For the PC-side save, Larian lists `Documents\Larian Studios\Divinity Original Sin 2: Definitive Edition\Player Profiles\<ProfileName>\Savegames`. Use the matching profile and preserve the folder structure.
5. To copy back, use the corresponding Finder Files or iTunes File Sharing pane and verify the intended destination before replacing an existing folder.

Avoid overwriting the only known-good copy

Larian's article explains file transfer but cannot identify the newest save on your devices. Before replacing a folder, keep an untouched copy of the source folder and write down which device it came from. If the game lists multiple saves, compare their visible dates/names in the game before choosing one; do not treat a successful file copy as proof that the desired campaign loaded.

Limits and discussion

This is a source-based file-transfer checklist, not a tested migration. It does not inspect iCloud, a PC, a Mac, the iPad, or your save files. Larian's official forum and Steam Community can help compare symptoms, but player replies may refer to different editions or file paths; do not post personal identifiers or private save data.

Before you play

• I checked which DOS2 edition and player profile the save belongs to.
• I selected iCloud, Finder, or iTunes based on the source and destination devices.
• I copied the original Larian Studios folder somewhere safe before replacing any destination copy.
• I verified the resulting campaign in the correct profile rather than assuming the transfer succeeded.

1. Larian Support: What platforms can I play Divinity: Original Sin 2 on? (Official)

2. Larian Support: Can I cross-play with PC/Mac or other consoles on iPad? (Official)

   Larian says PC/Mac and iPad cross-play is supported; its FAQ says iPad cross-play with PS4, Xbox and Nintendo Switch versions is not supported. Treat this as the explicit boundary documented on this page, not a claim about combinations it does not address.

3. Larian Support: How to transfer saves to/from iPad (Official)

   Larian's documented iCloud/Finder/iTunes file-copy steps for iPad and Apple/PC devices. The article identifies the save-folder location and supported transfer methods; check the current game edition and profile folder before copying.

4. Larian Support: Do you support modding? (Official)

   Larian says modding is supported on PC, and that many popular mods have been developed into free Gift Bags for console players. Do not infer that arbitrary PC mods install on consoles.

5. Larian: Divinity: Original Sin 2 arrives on Switch 2, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S (Official)
