And so do I.
The files app does not give you unrestricted access to the phone's file system.
App developers add their own "locations' as places you can access. The "On My Device" section is where those 3rd party locations would be if you had one. If you don't see it, it is because you do not yet have a 3rd party app installed that will use a local or "On My iPhone" location.
You see only 1 location because that's all you have installed.

A PDF app developer would create a local storage spot for their app to store PDFs locally. If you have just Apple's PDF tools, you are storing your PDFs in iCloud.
The Files app is not Finder for iOS.
Yeah dropbox is turned on.
Meaning?
If this little game is going the way it seems to be... I'll have to guess it still doesn't show.
If so, did you also follow the instructions on the last line of my screen shot and contact your cloud provider?

Use the Files app on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
I have dropbox installed too, but still it doesn't show.
Did you follow the steps from the article you linked to me?
Yeah dropbox is turned on.
I found a solution , the pages app if you don't have it , download it and go to settings and change storage option from icloud to on my phone and now on my phone shows in files app.
The idea was to save my files as pdfs as tickets and stuff on the phone instead of the cloud.
How can i save PDFs locally in Files App on iOS 11 ?
