Hey itchyfeet1,


Take a look at the tips below on managing files and folders in the Files app for iPad.


"Create a folder

  1. Open a location or an existing folder.
  2. Drag down from the center of the screen, then tap the New Folder button.
  3. Note: If you don’t see the New Folder button, you can’t create a folder in that location.


Rename, compress, and make other changes to a file or a folder

Touch and hold the file or folder, then choose an option: Copy, Duplicate, Move, Delete, Rename, or Compress.

To modify multiple files or folders at the same time, tap Select, tap your selections, then tap an option at the bottom of the screen.

Note: Some options may not be available, depending on the item you select; for example, you can’t delete or move an app library (a folder labeled with the app name).


Tag a file or folder

  1. Touch and hold the file or folder, tap Tags, then tap one or more tags.
  2. Tap Done.

Tagged items appear below Tags in the Browse sidebar.

To remove a tag, tap it again.


Mark a folder as a favorite

Touch and hold the folder, then tap Favorite.

Favorites appear in the Browse sidebar."


Cheers!
