The Files app folder in Documents provides a seamless connection to Apple's Files app, giving you access to all your device files without switching applications. This integration streamlines your workflow by eliminating the need to switch between apps, and comes automatically set up when you first launch Documents—allowing you to browse, open, and manage any files stored in the iOS/iPadOS Files app.
What is Files?
Files is a file management app developed by Apple for devices that run iOS 11 and later or iPadOS. We’ve included a Files folder integration to our app to create a shortcut so you can access all the data stored on your device right from inside Documents.
Using the Files folder
The Files folder is available by default at the very first launch.
This is what you can do within the Files folder:
- Browse your device files in all locations in the Files app, and open them in the Documents viewer
- Save the files you open via the Files app integration right to Documents
- Use search and apply sorting options to your files in this folder
- See the files and folders that are shared with you in the Files app
- Tap and hold on any file in this folder to copy, share, duplicate, apply Quick Actions, and more
