Thank you. I have seen many of your videos. As a 69 yr old I am pretty good with my phone and iPad now. And when I can’t remember, I go and look again! Thanks for taking the time, and explaining in ‘simple’ terms that I can follow.
Fantastic advice and tutorial as always !! I was hoping to see what happens to photos deleted in files do they stay in photos App if I delete from Files App?? So many photos in Files App.
This video is a game changer for me. Using the scan function in the phone's camera app, and have the scans automatically saved as a PDF, and then integrate with email or text . So easy! Thank you.
I love using the Files app, this video only helps to reinforce how good it is to use in the Apple ecosystem. I did learn one new thing today. The hold down your thumb to move files to a new app is great, now I don’t need to copy and paste 😀
I am switching from Huawei to iPhone 13 pro max, and I got a say that the difference is immense. Your videos are helping me a lot. Thank you, good man, and greetings from Zagreb 🇭🇷 .
I used to try scan my stuff through the Notes App and then manually try figure out filing options through copy and paste. 3rd Party tool was my other option.
Any chance you might do a video on managing & linking Music playlists across iMac, iPad & iPhone? My iPhone only shows a few of the several playlists I’ve created on my desktop (from CDs, not Apple Music). Your channel is really helpful, thank you!
Thanks! I wish the Scan Documents feature could be set to default to black & white. The color scans are nice but often too large to email. I know there are other apps to do this, but it would be nice if the built-in scan feature would do it without having to choose black & white each time.
On an iPad I use split screen a lot and can have 2 files windows open side by side. Drag and drop from one to the other is then possible. Very handy, just like a Mac desktop 😎 I use this feature a lot to move files around my numerous NAS drvies on my home network. Some are proper NAS others just server Mac Minis with hard drives attached. Great to be able to do useful stuff on an iPad relaxing on the comfy seats in the kitchen rather than the office desk. Remote control of the various desktop machines with the iOS app ‘Screens’ is also really handy.
Can you please do a video on Notes vs Files app? Sometimes I struggle on deciding where to store my data. I find myself leaning more towards Notes if it’s mainly pdf files and pics because then I can add little snippets of notes between my files.
Hi, everyone. A very good and detailed "instruction manual" for the iphone FILE app. So far I have always avoided using this app. Now I see the true value of FILES. Thank you for the well explained tutorial. Never confused any more with FILES! 😘 Great! Liked + subscribed!
I love these videos…the files app is damn useful if you have the full Mac ecosystem I’m able to move files between my devices and work on them if I’m away from my iPad or MacBook
Steve Jobs was adamant that the old hierarchical file system was confusing to most users. He talked about this briefly in one of his presentations. I used to be an ardent hierarchical file manager nesting folders and files deeper and deeper into my setup. Now and because of files I just have a few app based folders and iOS does the rest. I collapsed all off my old file trees and now focus on file names and file types in my filing strategy, allowing Search to do the heavy lifting of the file management like in photos and music. I really like how iOS picks the correct app folder for my different files every time. Even for third party apps iOS know, for example, to open my PDF Expert folder for storing pdfs. Thanks for the informative video.
New subscriber here! That was a really helpful tutorial! Thank you for creating it! I have a much better understanding of how the Files app works. Saving to my Watch list to review again!
Wow! Thank you for that super informative review of the Samsung T-7 Shield! I’m so glad you shared all that info with us! I MUST get one! Thanks again! 👍 (BTW, I also appreciate all that info you provided re: the files app! I didn’t know you could do so much with that app! Barely used it before but that’s going to change now, thanks to you!!!)
Very informative video, picked up some new tips, thanks. However, the thing that really frustrates me, is that Files (iCloud Drive), doesn’t play nicely with the Readdle apps I use. I have ScannerPro, PDF Expert & their Documents apps, but depending on which device I use, iPhone, iPad or MacBook, the folder names are different. e.g, on my iPhone I may have a folder called Documents by Readdle which correctly displays the files, but on my iPad those documents are in a folder named ScannerPro or PDF Expert on my MacBook?? I never know where to look for the correct files 🤷♂️🤬.
Nice cool explanation about the files app. Hope some day you can create an iPadOS multitasking functions. It is a bit overwhelming to explore them by ourselves.
On my iPhone, reading PDFs vertically within the Files app can sometimes be annoying. I found that reading PDFs horizontally within the Books app to be more intuitive. To copy a PDF from Files to Books: Open FILES app » long select desired PDF » select SHARE » select BOOKS. BONUS: The iPhone Books data is automatically synchronized with iTunes on my PC during iPhone backup.
Coming from an android device.. i am bit confused why i have to “share” the pdf file to books app again ? I can not find my other pdf files in books app unless i share it there. Its like i need to duplicate the file first which will eat up storage space.
I started to actually Files a month ago when getting hired at a new job. I at first would just screenshot documents until I sent myself and email and recalled I could save it Sadly I don’t have a MacBook to keep everything organized But so far that files is so useful for downloadable files from workplaces
This video has made me look at the built-in “files“ app again and one of the benefits I’ve realised is the significantly smaller file size of a scanned document, rather than taking a picture with the iPhone camera (in my test, 1.2 MB versus six MB!) i’m still confused about the benefits of the options when there is a requirement to copy documents i.e. should I do it through “files“ or “notes“ or the camera….And what are the advantages/disadvantages of each e.g. which would be the best way of being able to compress the file further, particularly an image taken on the camera - maybe the subject of another one of your wonderful videos :-)
Good point about doc format vs image format. If your images are consuming so much space on your device, rather than managing them yourself, consider using a photo manager that intelligently manages photos such as Photos (using iCloud) or Lightroom which can offload the high-res versions automatically.
Good callout. I'm also curious how files works with the photos folders and if you can actually move a photo a different folder, but I'll have to play with that. This has to be most under utilized app on the iPhone.
Beautifully done. One question, however: if I find a text I want to save in File (but don’t find it in Download) how do I tell in in which Folder of File I want the file to go.
The thumbnail: You’re using Files wrong. Watching the vid: It’s exactly what it sounds like. Watching the vid til the end: I am using Files wrong. Kudos!
Nicely done video sir! I’m in the process of decommissioning my last Windows desktop and exclusively using iOS devices and a 14TB hard drive on my router. I was vaguely aware of the power of the Files app but have much to learn and anticipate it will be the key to making my system work as I need it to. I suspect I will be back to this video a time or three before I “absorb” all of this. Thanks for putting it all together in a logical and quick paced format. 👍 (subscribed)
Awesome tips! I've watched all but one of your guides and tutorial. Hopefully you have one for iCloud in the pipeline. That is one feature of the Apple ecosystem that I've yet to utilise its full potential.
@@ProperHonestTechgeneral tips would be great. I’m also facing an issue where I can’t sync my photos to iCloud unless I delete older photos taken from another phone. Just wondering if there is a workaround for that
Thanks for this useful video! The problem with iCloud is you are never sure that a file is really available offline… It would be nice to have a possibility to force folder or file for offline access.
My understanding (which could be wrong) is that any file with a cloud and down arrow through it is stored in the cloud. When you tap the file, it’s downloaded and available offline. If your iPhone storage is low, unused files are then removed and put back in the cloud. I seem to recall reading this some time ago so it might have changed (or even be tosh!).
Hi thanks this is very informative esp since I moved recently to iPhone after having used Android for years One question how can I add spotlight widget on my today’s or the widget screen ?
The problem of file application it's not the app itself but is the bug of the app. I think Apple just have to put Finder application from the Mac OS and put into the iOS
Hey mate. Many thanks for useful info video. Could you please explain why few files are active and few aren’t whenever we would like to send or attach as. Very confusing. I all the time experience inactive files during attachment. They are visible when I open file folders but when I come through link and try to attach. It’s not active.
Thanks 🙏🏼.. if take multiple pictures and save them in desktop at the files app, will my brother then find them instantly on laptop at home while I am still uploading pictures there?
You have made some very informative ios videos(iphone/ipad). Thanks. Wondering though what the two items are on the wall behind you? To the right as I view the videos. Heaters, just decoration or what? : )
Hi Tom, I love your videos, and, as a result have started using the Apple stock apps again. I wonder whether you could do a video on the Apple Podcasts app. I find it so frustrating to use.
Thanks. FWIW I think this video would have been better the other way round. What do i mean by that? Well, your clear explanation of *why* i might want to use files , which came at the very end, would have been better at the start! The main part was describing *how* to use files, but theres always more incentive on how to learn to use something if you know *why* you might want to ! Glad i stuck with it to the end as i was generally mystified what files was until now and just avoided it !
I wish someone would show how this looks while plugged into a Macbook. I just bought my first Apple product, Mini 6 and it doesn't work well at all with my Windows PC. When you plug an Android phone in, the phones files simply become part of the PC file structure, which is nice. Is it the same when you plug an I-Phone into a Macbook? If so, that'll go a long way toward my decision to go all in with Apple, as this mini 6 is really growing on me. I'm sure there are videos out there showing how that works, I just haven't stumbled on one yet
Thank you for this very helpful video on the Files App. I have a short question on the search you show in 9:48 min: On my phone the document-with-the-magnifying-glass-icon says: "Name contains "test"". Consequently, my app does not find files, that include the word "test" inside the document. It only finds the documents with "test" in the file or folder name. Do you know if this has something to do with iCloud+ (I use the free version)? Or if this could be due to using a different region setting on my iphone?
Very informative video. Scanning a document directly to the Files app is very convenient. However, apparently it scans the document using the phone’s camera; therefore, it may not be as professional looking as scanning using the “Notes” app. Any idea if that’s correct? Good to have options. Scan to the Files app for convenience. Scan to the Notes app for a more professional looking document.
I managed to make my keyboard disappear while using this app. I can no longer edit anything in the files. But I can rename the files. Thank you for any information.
Thank you for this informative video. Though I'm a little unsure about the search function. I tried searching for key words that are in my PDF, but no results show. I make sure to correctly choose on my iphone because that's where the file is stored. Do I need to allow any extra permissions to allow document content scanning?
Hi, found the video very helpful In ios 16.1.1, I am unable to browse video files downloaded in the file app from youtube app. TH-cam app shows the video files in the photos app only. There is no save option for video files in file app. Kindly help
Bro Some of my imp documents are lost in "Files app of my iPad" what to do ? Is there anyway to get them back or any alternative of this app please suggest?
Hi when u connect another drive (a storage device) to your phone or iPad that device shows up in files but how do you drag stuff onto that storage device in files thank u
❤ Please reply 🙏 my files app has 9 gb, so now I can't backup my iPad to icloud because it exceeds the 5gb limit, so how can I turn off the files app from backing up to the i cloud? Big thank ❤
I'd like to copy a movie file/library from my iMac (w/external HDD) to my iPadPro 12.9" Gen5. I've tried to do so with 'Files' but even finding other devices, let alone external drives on the other devices escapes me. Associated question: I'm not sure if it's best to play these movie files on iPadPro with AppleTV or in Files.
Hi. I know this seems off topic, but I can’t find my issue addressed anywhere. Is there any way to have Safari start, immediately I start my iPad. Ios15.5? You been my guru. I’m brand new to Apple products, finding them great fun. Was sure lost deeply in the jungle, ' till I found you.
Is there any option for optimise iphone storage like optimize Mac storage? Suppose something I upload through Mac into iCloud then it should appear and access through iPhone iCloud also locally on iPhone without internet. something like automatic download iCloud files on iPhone similar to Mac. e.g. All the iCloud files should be stored locally automatically..
Thanks for this. Just wondering in email why I don’t get the ions above the key board that you mention. (I have gmail and a second generation iPhone SE.)
I use this app to store photos videos so I don’t use my phone storage, but the files are never downloaded so I have to download them every time I want to open one and if I’m at a location with poor service I cannot access the file which sucks!
Thanks for the videos they are a great resource. I cannot seem to get the spotlight search to search into the files folder. I noticed on your phone when you did the search demo with spotlight you had sub-headings which showed Reminder, Files, App Store and Siri Suggested Websites. All I can see on my iPhone 13 is Siri Suggestions. Can you show me how to access the files folder from the spotlight search? Thanks, in advance.
I could be wrong about this (it's quite confusing), but head to Settings, then Siri and Search. Make sure that 'show in spotlight' is toggled on. Then scroll down to Files, tap into it and ensure that 'show app in search' and 'show content in search' are both toggled on. Do this for any other apps you'd like to appear in there. Do let me know if this fixes the issue for you!
@@ProperHonestTech I had the 'show in spotlight' toggled on and also in the files tab below, the 'show app in search' and 'show content in search' were also toggled on. I restarted the iPhone to check if it made any difference but it did not. When using spotlight search I can only see the sub-heading 'Siri Suggestion' Just to let you know it is iPhone 13pro software version 15.4.1. Thanks, Andy

Thanks! This was always so difficult to understand, but you have illuminated "Files" for me. You are literally a godsend.
For the life of me, I've never noticed the Scan Documents option in the Files App. Just abused the heck out of it - brilliant 🙆🏽♂️👏
I used to try scan my stuff through the Notes App and then manually try figure out filing options through copy and paste. 3rd Party tool was my other option.
Thank you. That was very helpful! I like your pace of speech and you speak clearly and precisely.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed the video!

You’re right, setting a default seems like an obvious but really useful feature.
Thanks for the very informative video! I've been using Apple devices for decades, and I was only marginally aware of the features in the Files app.
The connect to server option is brilliant. Now I can connect to my NAS. Keep the videos coming!
Great to hear!
Should you have a Synology, you can add Drive or DS file in this way. Highly useful
On an iPad I use split screen a lot and can have 2 files windows open side by side. Drag and drop from one to the other is then possible.

Thanks. I enjoy your channel and continue to learn - you make it easy. I’ve shared your channel with others so they can learn too.
I appreciate that!
I love these videos…the files app is damn useful if you have the full Mac ecosystem
I’m able to move files between my devices and work on them if I’m away from my iPad or MacBook
You can select multiple files easily by swiping with two fingers.
I use tags for files I need to print later.
This was a very nice and concise explanation of how to use files, I’m definitely a follower.

Associated question: I'm not sure if it's best to play these movie files on iPadPro with AppleTV or in Files.
Thanks man. Subscribed. I would like to see maybe a video of Files vs Documents differences. Or maybe you can kindly reply here? 😉🙏🏼💙
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 your videos are so helpful
Thanks!
Hi. I know this seems off topic, but I can’t find my issue addressed anywhere.
Is there any way to have Safari start, immediately I start my iPad. Ios15.5?
You been my guru. I’m brand new to Apple products, finding them great fun. Was sure lost deeply in the jungle, ' till I found you.
I would be lost without the files app
Is there any option for optimise iphone storage like optimize Mac storage? Suppose something I upload through Mac into iCloud then it should appear and access through iPhone iCloud also locally on iPhone without internet. something like automatic download iCloud files on iPhone similar to Mac. e.g. All the iCloud files should be stored locally automatically..
Thanks for this. Just wondering in email why I don’t get the ions above the key board that you mention. (I have gmail and a second generation iPhone SE.)
PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION!!!! How do I get Zedge app icons out of Files to use on my iPhone 13pm??? Zedge is a wallpaper app.
I have no idea, sorry. Perhaps someone else will read your question and know the answer.
Is there a way to connect iPhone to PC and copy files from Files App to PC/laptop? Thank you.
I use this app to store photos videos so I don’t use my phone storage, but the files are never downloaded so I have to download them every time I want to open one and if I’m at a location with poor service I cannot access the file which sucks!
Very good video. Thanks.
there's no option like delete duplicate files, in files app? plz suggest other app
is there a way to view hidden files?
im not talking about hidden photos
is there a way to lock our files in the files application?
Thanks for the videos they are a great resource. I cannot seem to get the spotlight search to search into the files folder. I noticed on your phone when you did the search demo with spotlight you had sub-headings which showed Reminder, Files, App Store and Siri Suggested Websites. All I can see on my iPhone 13 is Siri Suggestions. Can you show me how to access the files folder from the spotlight search? Thanks, in advance.
I could be wrong about this (it's quite confusing), but head to Settings, then Siri and Search. Make sure that 'show in spotlight' is toggled on. Then scroll down to Files, tap into it and ensure that 'show app in search' and 'show content in search' are both toggled on. Do this for any other apps you'd like to appear in there. Do let me know if this fixes the issue for you!
@@ProperHonestTech I had the 'show in spotlight' toggled on and also in the files tab below, the 'show app in search' and 'show content in search' were also toggled on. I restarted the iPhone to check if it made any difference but it did not. When using spotlight search I can only see the sub-heading 'Siri Suggestion' Just to let you know it is iPhone 13pro software version 15.4.1. Thanks, Andy
