What you can do

Copy or move files between the main space, an unlocked private space, authorized device folders and iCloud folders. Share files with other apps through the system share sheet.

How to use it

  1. Long-press a file and choose Copy, Move or Share. For multiple files, enter selection mode first.
  2. Use the destination picker’s breadcrumbs to return to Spaces, then open the destination space or authorized folder.
  3. Choose a folder, confirm and wait for completion. For sharing, select a destination in the system share sheet.

Before you start

The destination must be writable. Moving removes the source only after the destination is saved. Name conflicts are avoided or shown for confirmation, and Live Photo image/video pairs are handled together.

Actions in device or iCloud folders affect originals. Moving within iCloud does not require downloading first; copying and cross-source moves prepare file contents. Cloud syncing continues through the system after completion. Reading progress is not transferred between FileBox spaces and device folders. Cross-source copying and moving described here apply to the app; the Wi-Fi browser limits these actions to the same source and does not include My iCloud.
