Before using the iPad to export, ensure the iPad has enough storage space. The average export file size is usually between 5 GB and 10 GB, if there is not enough space the export will fail. After trying, deleting the created jobs in cyclone will not free up storage space on the iPad, so the best thing to do is to ask the ucreate staff to reinstall the software on the iPad and log into the account.
