What you can do

Import from Photos, Files or other apps to save your content in FileBox. Inside an authorized device folder, you can also save items from Photos directly into the current folder.

To use the originals in a system folder, authorize it and open files directly instead of importing them. For local folders, see Manage system folders directly; for iCloud Drive folders, see My iCloud.

How to use it

  1. Open the bottom More menu in a FileBox folder and choose Import from Photos or Import from Files.
  2. Select content and wait for it to save in the current folder. Authorized device folders offer Import from Photos in their More menu.
  3. You can also choose FileBox in another app’s share sheet, then choose a destination folder.

Before you start

Importing a copy and accessing an authorized original are different workflows. Import types vary by tool. Photos cleanup applies only to items confirmed as fully saved.
