Moving a PDF file

I have created a "travel folder" on my iphone where I would like to store all my necessary items for an upcoming trip. I have an "eticket" that's a PDF attached to an email. I would like to drag it to this folder for easy access. Is it possible?

iPhone 13, iOS 16

Unable to find pdfs in the iCloud I have several pdfs I originally had saved locally on the ipad and opened in the books app (formerly ibooks). I decided I wanted to import them into a more useful book reading app, so moved them over to a different folder and imported them into the app (which removes them off of the ipad). So far so good. However, I was surprised to see some files were not transferred, and after not finding them on my ipad I determined they had (for some reason) been deleted from my ipad and existed only on the iCloud. I can happily open them in ibooks, see all the notes I made, and open them both on my ipad and iphone. So I went did a search on my iCloud files and they are definitely not (visible) there either. I contacted Apple Support in the hope they would be able to advise where these get stored and after more than an hour online with them I came no closer to an answer as they simply didn’t understand my problem or else didn’t know the answer. I have spent a couple of hours googling this problem but it seems no one know where these files are stored, and I am pretty much tearing my hair out at this point. The most information I have come across is that you can find these pdfs by going into settings > profile > iCloud > manage account storage > Apple Books and they are there. Further you can’t do anything with them except delete them. You can’t copy them somewhere else. I even tried from within ibooks to share them. I tried emailing them to myself, sharing to myself in messenger, sharing in dropbox, copying and pasting to a directory. Any attempts to share or copy just results in creating a text file with the author and book name. I am out of ideas at this point. Is it just simply a matter that I have lost access to my files and tough luck? Or does anyone know where Apple stores these files on the Cloud?

How do I change the default folder when I save a screenshot to files Hi, I have to take pictures of my text messages for backup for work and I save them to Files so that I can download onto my work PC. The first one of the day always automatically goes to the folder I've created for these messages. When I have to save others throughout the day it automatically goes to my travel folder. Is there a way I can set my work folder as the default folder so that I don't have to keep changing it? I have to do this anywhere from 3-15 times a day and it's been months of doing this.

How to keep files within iCloud Drive downloaded locally on iPad Can’t seem to find a way to keep my iCloud Drive files local. This is rather annoying when going off the grid. You click the “download all” button on the file you want before you leave for your trip when once away from reception you notice the iPad deleted the local download. My work around is to make a copy of all my files from iCloud onto the iPad local files folder, do my work, and once back on the grid, cut and paste all my files into iCloud Drive to override. This is defiantly not ideal. Any native solutions to this?

You may save your attachment, but not by dragging.

Open the document in the Files app. Tap the down-facing arrowhead to the right of the file name on top. There’s a move option there.

I have the document saved in the Files app. Is there a way to move it to the travel folder I made?
