    Save files from other apps to Documents

    When you get files via email or messengers, Documents is here to help you keep them at hand when needed. Of course, you can store it in the messenger or email app, but it’s not the most convenient way, especially when you need quick access to it. Documents allows for saving files from other apps in a few simple steps.

    Save files from other apps

    1. Tap on the file.
    2. Go to the share menu.
    3. Tap Copy to Documents in the extensions menu.

    Save files to a specific folder in Documents using the Files app

    1. Open the needed file in a third-party app you work with and tap the Share button .
    2. Tap Save to Files.
    3. When the Files app is launched, tap the Documents extension in the list of app and select the folder you would like to save the file to. As a result, the file will be saved to the selected folder of the Documents app.
    Note: If Documents is not in the list of extensions in the Files app, open the Files app > Browse view > More button at the top right corner > select Edit > enable Documents toggle in the list of Locations > tap Done. Now you will have access to the local files and folders in Documents via the Files app.
    Note: To troubleshoot the cases when the Documents app does not appear in the list of extensions, please see the following article.
