The most wasted of days is one without woodwork
You could try uploading them to a cloud server, like one drive, Google drive or an apple drive if there is such a thing.
You can Backup the old iPad using iCloud and then access your files from iCloud online or via a Mac or using a Windows laptop/PC
If you are moving to a new iPad/iPhone you can Restore from an iCloud Backup or just use Quick Start instead

If you can detect the new iPad on the old one you may be able to simply share the files. It is supposed to work like that for GarageBand, I’m about to try it myself! I think you may have to do each file individually but if, like me, you don’t/won’t use iCloud, or any effin cloud it/ seems the only way. You might try looking into doing an iTunes back up, might work?

If you are getting a new iPad you set the new one up from the old one, I seem to remember taking a photo off a screen on the old one with the new one, it was really simple & everything was transferred.
I'm hopeless with technology but even I managed to follow the instructions & was amazed how quick & easy it was.

You have the iPad 2 with cellular cervices
and the ways to save files really depends in what else you have. Mac, windows, linux etc.

Let’s take it apart to see what’s inside….
How much data do you need to move?
It is easy to move files when setting up a new iPad - as others have said Apple provide a facility to do this when you set up the new device.
If that doesn’t work for you, there are a number of cloud storage services available. Apple have their own iCloud service, then there is Microsoft’s OneDrive. Others include Dropbox and Box. All of these have Apps for iPhone/iPad and will allow you to copy or move files to them. They can then be accessed from other devices including Windows PCs and Macs.
Most of these services have free accounts with limited storage but additional storage is usually via a monthly subscription which varies depending on what capacity you need. Personally I have an annual subscription to Office 365 which gives me and my family 1TB cloud storage each.
