Most "native" way of managing files

Hi again! I continue learning to use my iPhone. Now I'm into managing my files in a convenient way. I know the "natural" way for managing files on iOS is app-centered (so each document type is "saved" in the arena belonging to each app).


However, let's imagine you're preparing a presentation about a city you're visiting. Let's say you're visiting Venezia, and you're collecting material for your presentation. Such material is photos, notes, audio clips, and even some pdfs. If you were using a computer, you'll create a "Venezia" folder, and manage all your presentation stuff into such folder. However, on the iPhone... what would be the iOS-way of doing this? I suppose you don't have to go to the photo app for the photos, the note app for the notes, iBooks for the pdfs, and so on, do you?


I suppose there're third party apps for doing this, but I don't want to work in a way opposite to the iOS design.


What would be a good way, fully integrated in the iOS design, of managing files of different types that belong to the same subject?


Thanks!

Use GoodReader, create folder, add photos, ppts, doc into it.

Well, I wanted a native way, but I learnt there's no native way. Thanks a lot for recommending GoodReader. I've installed it and it has the feature set I expected to find on iOS. It even has an OSX look and feel so I feel like on my Macs. And it also overcomes the wireless file transfer limitations I was finding on the iPhone. Somehow I feel like if GoodReader is the operating system, while iOS is a candy add-on to GoodReader
