When I am on cellular Files app will not download any files from iCloud Drive. I have searched high and low for the “use cellular data” option but Files doesn’t appear in settings. How do I download my files when I don’t have WiFi?
iPhone 12
Hello tylerSU2012 and welcome to Apple Support Communities. It appears you are having some difficulty downloading content via the Files app when connected to cellular data.
The option you are seeking should be found at Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data. Scrolling through the list of apps there should show an option for Files. Note that in some regions, the Cellular settings may be called Mobile and in some versions of iOS, you may need to enable iCloud Drive for cellular data in the same place.
Cheers.
Thank you. iCloud Drive was tucked down at the bottom of the list and was disabled on cellular. I changed the setting and ran a test download of three documents. It’s working now.
Hi tylerSU2012.
Brilliant. Glad to hear you got it sorted. Have a super groovy rest of your day. Cheers.
Can’t download to Files on cellular.
