If you use multiple iOS devices, it's a good idea to sync your iPhone and iPad to access your files anywhere. For example, you can take a gorgeous photo on your iPhone camera and then view and edit it on a larger iPad screen.
With our free Documents app, you can easily manage files on your iPhone and iPad as well as sync them with cloud storages and between your devices.
Documents allows storing files in iCloud Drive and keeps them up to date across all your devices. Here's how to sync iPhone and iPad via iCloud:
To sync multiple files at once, follow these steps:
Now, these files are synced between your iPhone and iPad. You can also access these files in other apps that support iCloud Drive. For this, open the iCloud Drive section within the app and select the Documents folder.
Documents lets you set up 2-way synchronization with any cloud service. This is extremely useful when you add a new file, say, to a Dropbox folder and it appears right on your device. This way, you can sync iPhone and iPad with any cloud storage account.
How to sync folders from cloud storage:
Once the sync is completed, you can find the full copies of these folders in the Synced Folders folder. The files from a synced folder are available locally on your device so you can work with them when you're offline.
This way, you can sync the same folder on your iPhone and iPad, and Documents keeps files up to date between both your devices as well as cloud storage.
By default, Documents syncs the folders automatically once you’re connected to Wi-Fi. You can also allow the app to sync folders over a cellular network or disable the automatic sync. To change the sync options, go to Settings > Cloud & Connections and select your desired option under Automatic Sync.
You can also sync a folder manually whenever you wish. Tap … More on a synced folder and select Sync Now. The folder will be synced immediately. Moreover, you can set the sync on pause by tapping Pause Sync.
To disable the sync, tap … More on a synced folder and select Delete. This will remove the local copy of the sync folder from Documents, while the corresponding folder on the cloud service remains unchanged.
