Quite often, if not all time, I download a csv file on iPad it changes to xxx.csv.XLS. But as it is not an excel or csv anymore, it became useless. Of course I can rename the file extension, in a PC/Mac. On iPad it is not possible to change file extensions.
But I bought an iPad Pro to be free from computers.
Any suggestion?
iPad Pro, iOS 13
Hello,
I too find it frustrating that iPad’s Files application does not allow for the ability to edit a file’s extension. I have created a Shortcut in the Shortcuts application that would allow you to change a file’s extension. Once this shortcut is setup > Long-press a file in the Files application > Change File Extension > Enter a fileName.extension.

Thank you very much zmclearan.
