files app

I have been using my Vision Pro for almost a month now, and have submitted multiple bug reports and suggestions to Apple. One of my issues is that I have a large library of movies and TV shows on my server in M4V format which my Apple TVs throughout the home easily and can rapidly access...

Hi Folks, Despite my inability to find any files in my iCloud Drive (files app) that are downloaded for offline, the storage on Vision Pro says I have 316gb of downloaded iCloud files taking up space on Vision Pro. I’ve gone through every folder and there are no files downloaded for offline. How...

I have been having this kind of issue since Friday (5.April) evening (iPad Pro 2018, 12.9-inch, iPadOS 17.4.1). It all started with the Files app not responding (not showing deleted/updated/downloaded... files), then it propagated to other apps. Every app using iCloud Drive as its base is...

I noticed new and improved options for external drives in the Files app on the second developer beta of iPadOS 17. When you right click or hold press a drive in the sidebar of the Files app, the pop-up menu now includes options for “Rename” and “Erase”. Also, under the “Get Info” option, it...

Across multiple iPhones and cellular carriers the iCloud service on the files app is reliably garbage in cellular internet (does not work). What is your take?

I have put files and such in iCloud Drive but never tried to retrieve them, so I try to and find out you can only download file by file and not even entire folders(wtf). So my work around was to compress the files making it one big file which I could download multiple files on my computer. I...

I have a laptop (Fedora Linux) which hosts a Samba server connected my local network. However, it seems like successfully connecting to the server is a hit or miss for my iPhone and iPad. A lot of times, Files would just suddenly report that an unknown error has occurred. This usually happens...

Around July/August 2019 while I was on vacation, I started getting alerts about my iCloud storage running low. I thought I’d only used around 3.5GB on iCloud so far. But when I checked what could've possibly just started using over a gig of iCloud storage, I saw that my iPad's iCloud backup size...

So, I worked some files on LumaFusion, and added them on iCloud storage. Those files remain on my iPad as well, without the option like OneDrive to unload them locally. I thought when adding more files would remove some others to make space, just like Photos. This doesn't happens, and I am...

So I have an ipad pro 2018, and I found out that the Files app can't natively play the [h.265 hevc 4:2:2 4k xavc hs] video file that I shot with my a7siii. With vlc player and nplayer, I can play those files smoothly, so its not an issue with general playback. I was just wondering if there was...

Hey all. I've spent the last couple days offloading large Procreate files from my iPad Pro, routing through Files and then deleting them there once the documents were safely in Dropbox. But now my Files app is near to empty, and it says it's taking up 15 GB. Literally the only thing in my Files...

I’m looking for an app that can let me browse my iCloud Drive files in a gallery/grid view similar to the Photos app? I like to keep my drawing reference photos on iCloud Drive so I can put them into folders and use tags to better organize them. It would be awesome if the Files app had a gallery...

Files (the iOS app) has supported smb since 13.0 if I remember correctly. I remember being excited about it. Now I need it. smb://airportextremeipaddress.local seems right but after about 25 seconds, it times out and I get “There was a problem conbecting to the server”. iOS 14.3 AirPort...

I'm trying to import a large number of photos from a USB stick into my iPad Air 4th generation running the latest IOS (14.2). The photos on the USB are from a wide range of dates, so I need to be able to easily identify them once they've been imported, before moving them into various albums...

Hi, My iPhone Files app showing 2.77 Gb of data in 'iPhone storage' section, but I have only some word documents & pdf(just 80 Mb for sure) saved to 'On My iPhone' section of Files app. So anyone please tell me what could be this remaining almost 2Gb of data which I'm not aware of also which I...

I was hopping for some improvement with iOS14 in the severely limited Files app. I have several files and it is a frustration every time I use my iPhone or iPad to interact with them. Apple is an $1trillion company and it seems they cannot allocate some engineers to work and provide us with some...

I’ve got a number of files from “On my iPad” deleted and currently in the “Recently deleted” section of the Files app. But I’ve tried numerous times and in numerous ways to permanently delete these ... but when I “select all”, press delete and confirm to delete, they Appear initially to be...

Hey there, I was about to send my iPad Pro back to Apple yesterday, however the backup process kept repeating to send me the following message: My iPad Pro has 153GB of storage taken. Nevertheless, I kept getting the error message telling me I do not have enough available storage to finish the...

I am having an issue that apple cannot seem to address for me. Some PDF files that I make are having a hard time loading in the Files app on my iPad Air 2 as well as my iPhone 11. When I open them they cannot scroll freely or will freeze completely. When I am able to copy them to iBooks they...

So pretty much as end of video shows Importing from Photos app will still fail since it has a 4.29gb limitation. I am on 13.2 beta 3 for my ipad 11. I am directly connected to files app with my sony camera a6400 set to mass storage. In the future if apple fixed the photos import app limitation...
