I had the samme issue. This is how i solved it.


I swtiched off the iPad and back on again.


Went to AppStore and performed a search for Files app.


It came up as the first hit.


Just scoll down to confirm that it's an Apple product, or Apple Developer. Then just download it as a normal app. Once downloaded, then it should be able to open. The icon will be then on your screen.


Hope that works, it worked for me.
