Recently a number of files I kept in iCloud went from being PDF files (downloaded long ago in many cases) to showing as ‘Safari.dowload’ files in Finder on iOS. This made the files seemingly inaccessible.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Fortunately all the affected files were ones I knew which storefront I bought them from and could download new copies. I didn’t explore recovering them from Time Machine which would have been my next port of call.
