- Second question : how do I save files in another location on the iPad than an application directory? If I don’t select an application directory, the ‘add’ button remains greyed out. See hereblow

Hi. You can use the Google Photos app to browse photos saved in Google Photos. Are you trying to use Chrome to access photos stored on the iPad, or in the Google cloud?


Second, you can only store files in the storage managed by an app. The addition of the Files app did not change the fundamentals of iOS. You can get file manager apps like FileExplorer or Documents 6, which let you manage files not associated with a particular app. These file managers connect to the Files app like cloud servers. GoodReader also has excellent file management capabilities.
