“Save to Files” Does not work

I went to save a video from my camera roll to my files, but when I tapped the button, only two folders showed up and I couldn’t save it to either of them. My only option was to cancel. How do I fix this? I need to be able to save videos to my files.

iPhone 7, iOS 14

Hey Lionleaf3!


Can you say the version of iOS you’re running? I know until iOS 13 there were issues saving to the Files app.


If you scroll down and hit “Edit Options” is the Files app there and have the red “-“ already?


Also, what options do you see? ICloud Drive and On My IPhone? Are they both greyed out?


I think another valid question is if you use iCloud Photos and the available iPhone, and even iCloud Storage?:


Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Photos.

Settings > General > iPhone Storage.

Settings > Apple ID > iCloud > Manage Storage.


Hope it works out, let me know what you find if you can! Happy to help if I can, or anyone here.
