File organization
Swipe to select & act in batches
Select multiple files with one continuous swipe across rows.
Where to find it
File list → Selection mode
What you can do
Select multiple files with one continuous swipe across rows.
How to use it
- Enter selection mode from a file’s context menu.
- Begin with a horizontal or clearly diagonal swipe, then continue across rows.
- Use the bottom toolbar to move, share, tag, compress or delete.
The main space, an unlocked private space, authorized device folders and iCloud folders share swipe selection and batch actions. Selection on the authorization home page manages folder access without deleting originals. iCloud batch operations download selected content as needed; wait for completion before leaving.
Before you start
A vertical starting gesture still scrolls the list. The list can auto-scroll near its top and bottom edges; retracing restores the original selection.
