iphone icloud cant dowload files over cellular

I’ve discovered a problem recently concerning the iPhone files app. It seems as if I’m unable to download files in the files app over my cellular data. When I click on a file to download it it says „waiting to download“ and for example „ Zero KB of 25 KB“ and it just never Downloads. Im Running IOS 11 and can’t get around this issue.

Hi there frankakn_7,


This could be due to a number of factors but firstly, head to Settings > Mobile and under mobile data ensure that mobile data is enabled for "Files".


Alternatively, the following may help:

  • Log out of iCloud from settings, then log back in
  • Turn Aeroplane Mode on, wait for 30 then turn it off
  • Restart your iPhone


Failing that I would suggest a call to Apple Support.


I hope that helps 🙂
