Garageband IOS ipad to ipad project share- receiver can not open

I have saved my GB project in .band format to my icloud drive

Have sent .band file through email to my friend who is running the same IOS & GB version

when he tries to open file GB pops up the error as the file cannot be opened- can be damaged


Same error occurs when he sends his project to me, also tried to open those files on mu IPHONE 7, having same error.


what is the proper way of sharing GB project files between IOS devices?

Hello,


I had this issue too. Please bear in mind, that GarageBand always tries to save, even if you do not make any changes. Therefore version conflicts occur when collaborating.


Do not try to access the file simultaneously. Best to duplicate your file, then share it, and do not open this one anymore, until your friend is finished his work.


Hope this helps!
