Hi eugenia002,


The Files app stores files in iCloud Drive. The authentication you're seeing may be for your Apple ID in iCloud.

On your iPhone, if you go to Settings > At the top, do you see your name? > If not, you may need to sign in with your Apple ID.

What happens if you follow the authentication request?


Another thought, is that the files wanting to access are protected with a password.


Can you access the files at the iCloud website?
