I have 3 Apple Devices. I would like it so that voice memos are saved on the cloud on not on each device. Is that possible?
My ipad has become unusable because of voice memos. How do offload them to external storage?
Anything to help me manage my voice memo storage by moving them off the device would be helpful.

iCloud Voice Memos is principally a file synchronisation service - and not a file archive. When enabled for each of your devices, each device will synchronise with other devices via iCloud - and a copy of each Voice Memo will be maintained in iCloud.
If you disable iCloud Voice Memos on a device, the specific device will no longer be synchronised via iCloud - but will continue to keep local copies of Voice Memos generated on the device. These local files can be deleted without affecting other devices that may continue to use iCloud Voice Memos.
Should you wish to separately save copies of your Voice Memos to iCloud file storage - or any other storage location - you can do so using the Share button within the Voice Memos App.
To save a Voice Memo file to a folder in iCloud (or other storage location), tap the Share icon - and from the menu select Save to Files...
Navigate to the Location that you wish to store the file (e.g., iCloud) and create a suitably named folder if required, then tap the Save button.
Repeat as required.
If you wish to disable storing Voice Memos in iCloud, you can change the appropriate setting on each device as needed:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > iCloud > [Apps Using iCloud] Show All > Voice Memos - set to OFF

Thanks!
I would like to move all to a external HD. Is there a way to quickly select all voice memos and move them over?
Also. Once I move them will it just sync up again and put them back?
You can save multiple Voice Memos to a Location, such as external storage, in a single action...
Expose the Voice Memos sidebar - and tap the blue Edit button at top-right of the sidebar. From the sidebar list, tap (i.e., select) each Voice Memo that you wish to copy - then tap the Share button at bottom-left of the sidebar. From the Share sheet, select Save to Files.
