Files App Unresponsive Hi everyone! I just upgraded to iPadOS yesterday and have loved it so far. One problem I have: in the Files app I tried to download an MP4 file from my Google Drive to the iPad which has made the app unresponsive. I've tried force closing it (swiping it up in the multi-app view) without success. Nothing works in the app at all. I can't select different locations, tags, recent files, anything. It simply won't work. I can go back to home and use other apps just fine. Anyone else had this issue since the update?

Files app isn’t working Ever since I updated my iPhone 7+ to the latest version of iOS (13.4.1), in the files app every time I try to open or download a file from iCloud the app completely freezes and the document won’t open. This is quite frustrating as I have been using it to view saved PDFs that I use frequently. Does the app just need an update? Or if my phone is outdated for this app, is there another one I could use to download my files from iCloud?
