The Documents app handles several different file types by default and makes working with folders a breeze. Our users have been using the app to store, organize and manage a collection of their frequently used files on their iPhone or iPad. Readdle’s Documents app is by far the best file manager for iPhone and iPad and offers an incredible collection of features that turn your iOS device into a mobile hub for all your files. This is hugely disadvantageous for users who like to maintain a neatly organized file structure on their devices. Most importantly, you can only share individual files with AirDrop - it can’t work with folders. It only works best with a few types of files that iOS can open, and you can only share from Apps that offer a Share option. AirDrop is also severely limited when it comes to sharing of files. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of complaints on Twitter & Apple’s Support Forums from iOS users complaining that AirDrop doesn’t work for them, or that their devices don’t show up at all. We call it FileDrop and we think you’re going to love it.ĪirDrop, Apple’s ad-hoc feature that enables file sharing between two iOS devices, has been available on modern iOS devices released after iOS 7.
