Would you like to be able to access and use the currently hidden iOS file directory?

Neither do I. Not in my devices.

Now a common file bucket so I can skip all this 'import from iTunes' and 'export to iTunes' nonsense for file sharing. Or having five copies of the same file so I can use it in different programs. Okay that I can go for

Unless Apple gives the file app direct root access or some short of privileges, you will still ended up with five copies of same file for different apps. All app should have directly access to the file app and have the ability to save to the disk. Otherwise, it is pretty much meaningless
 
Gonna set this poll up, because I am curious if people using iOS would like Apple to allow its mobile users access to the currently hidden file system. If you jailbreak, you can access this via a tweak like iFile. And of course, anyone using a Mac has access to their file system and directories.

But, if Apple allowed you to save a pdf, png, jpeg, mp4, etc to a directory and folder of your choice and be able to access this file from any app, would you want this feature? A simple yes or no survey. Thanks.

NO.
but I will welcome
finder like functionality...
 
I'd be pleased if they offered at least partial Finder-style access so that I don't have to jump through hoops to move files to/from the device.

My original iPod did it.
 
If you are speaking about a traditional file system access I say NO.

But surely they can do better than current implementation. Something similar at what I'm doing with good reader and Dropbox integrated in the os would be nice.
 
No it's not. Saying everyone is not a figure of speech, it's an exaggeration.

Trying to back track by saying you only mean the everyone that wants it doesn't work. Because not even everyone that wants something actually needs it.


Lol whatever, and when I say "hey guys" I'm only referring to guys too. :rolleyes:

Regardless you know what I'm trying to say. I don't know why you insist on changing the topic to my exact wording.
