How to transfer files to iPad from PC privately? (self.apple_enthusiast)

This is the #1 reason why I don't buy Apple anymore. But if there was an easy private way, I'd be open to getting Apple products again.

I simply want to transfer files from my PC to my iPad without any companies collecting info about the files, such as legally acquired mp3 files that dumb corporations will think are pirated.

What are the ways to do this?

Using a USB Drive with a Lightning/USB-C Connector

Copy files from your PC to a USB drive.
Connect the USB drive to your iPad using a compatible adapter (Lightning to USB or USB-C to USB).
Open the Files app on your iPad.
Navigate to the USB drive and copy the files to your iPad
