Features & Capabilities

Files is a cross-device file manager that brings your documents together—from your device, cloud storage like iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Box, and OneDrive, to external drives or file servers. The Recents view shows your recently worked-on files in high-resolution thumbnails, while the Browse view helps you navigate folders, tag files, move between folders, and search quickly.

Key features include quick access from the Dock or Home screen, SMB server connections for work or home networks, tagging across services, pinned folders for fast access, and shareable links from iCloud Drive. Drag and drop to organize files with ease across providers.

User Reviews

User reviews for Files are largely negative. Recurrent issues include performance problems, UX changes after updates that disrupt navigation, file visibility/sync failures, editing limitations, and unreliable downloads.

Pros

Easy to navigate interface.
Can play audio files stored in Files.
Color-code sorting option exists.

Cons

Frequent performance issues including glitches, freezes, and slowdowns.
UX regression after updates: Preview opens files and breaks simple navigation (swiping, back-out flow).
Files not appearing or syncing properly; recents show old or missing items.
File-management is restrictive: difficult to create/edit files and to move items into folders.
Download problems: completed downloads can show as unavailable or fail to download.

There’s so much wrong with this app, Apple should just remove it honestly. Or FIX IT. how long are you going to ignore all the terrible reviews of this app? Sigh. My biggest issue, though, is the search. I search for files so many times and it tells me the file doesn’t exist, but when I go through my files myself without the search, I find the file…so why the heck am I using the app to store files I can’t even find? I stopped using it years ago and switched to documents by readdle, which is so much better. But it’s like Apple insists on making us use this dysfunctional app cause I can’t receive documents on airdrop without having this app as an intermediary. Stupid.

Unlike photos, there’s no option to manage space from the settings app. Why does the file opener in other apps not allow you to rename the file? AND MANY PEOPLE ACCIDENTALLY REPLACE FILES THEY DON’T WANT TO. MAKE IT SO THAT REPLACED FILES CAN BE RESTORED FROM RECENTLY DELETED.
