Use iCloud with GarageBand for iPad
You can upload your GarageBand songs to iCloud Drive and access them from another app or other devices. You can open your songs directly from iCloud Drive in the sidebar in the My Songs browser, or download them to your iPad.
When you close a song or close GarageBand, the song is updated with your latest changes in iCloud. If changes made on multiple devices are out of sync, a copy of the song with the newest changes is saved to the same location as the original in iCloud Drive.
