Files app on iPhone, rename files when uploading

Hi!


I like the Files app on iPhone. I upload a lot of pictures, PDF's and more from Safari, Mail, Photos etc. using the Save to Files function.


However, I am really missing the feature to rename the file when uploading.


As of now, I have to upload the file into a certain folder, then open the Files app, go into that certain folder, find the file, and then select Rename. Unneccesary difficult and time-consuming.


I want to be able to rename the file when uploading by tapping the filename and then giving it the name I want.

See pictures below.


Apple, please add! Thanks.


Michael

Good suggestion, Michael, but you're not addressing Apple here. This is a user to user forum, and we are just users like you.

Please submit your comments/suggestions directly to: Product Feedback - Apple
