    Apple Files allowed a management and access to different files and documents.

    Date: Apr 26 2023

    Summary: Apple Files has helped me a lot to manage the storage space within my mobile device, in addition, it is very important how this platform allows me to access a document or any type of file and share it with anyone through the applications that I have installed on my device. mobile device, since I only have to select the corresponding file, and select the share button, I will immediately have the option to share this file with any user on any social network installed on my mobile device. Apple Files also has a built-in unzip file feature, this is very important as there are some times when users download files and want to access the information inside that file immediately without any restrictions, moreover, create an individual folder so you can access the unzipped files. Overall, I loved Apple Files as it gave me full access to recently downloaded files and documents.

    Positive: Apple Files is an essential platform to be able to manage the documents or files you have on your iPhone device. The things I liked were:

    1- Apple Files allows that directly to each of the actions of your mobile device, all the documents and files that you have within your iPhone device, in addition, it allows you to create new folders to be able to correctly manage the files and to be able to organize them by section, you will be able to store store them inside a specific folder with the help of Apple Files.

    2- A function that I really like is the recently deleted function, it allows you to access the files that have been recently deleted from your iPhone mobile device, I love files or documents stored for 30 days, so you can recover them if you need them for some urgency.

    3- This platform allows you to add a label to each of the files or folders that you have created within Apple Files, it is very important since it allows me to add labels with different names and with different colors for each of the files, this helps me a lot to be able to detect files I'm specifically looking for.

    4- I love that the platform has a connectivity and a half with the iCloud system, this is quite important since it allows me to transfer files from my mobile device to my computer using the iCloud Drive function. I can move any type of file from my mobile device to this folder so that I can access it within iCloud on my computer.

    Negative: A very important function that is missing within this platform is the cleaning function, there is no type of function within this platform to be able to delete unnecessary files or copies of files that are necessary, this function would be very important to keep safe and fully accessible the storage space within your mobile device, I would love for this platform to implement this cleaning system. Another negative point of this platform is that it does not have any type of access to the iCloud Drive subscription, for example, if you want to increase your iCloud plan, you will have to directly access your iCloud account and buy one of the plans, this You must do it from your computer, since this platform does not allow you to increase the storage space of your cloud to the application, you must necessarily access iCloud.

    Apple Files increases the effectiveness of file and document management.

    Date: Apr 16 2023

    Summary: Apple Files has been a very important platform to manage the large number of files that I manage within my mobile device and at the same time to quickly connect to my iCloud cloud without having to open the application on my computer. In general, Apple Files has proven to be a platform with great potential, since it has allowed me to correctly all the files that are inside my mobile device, the platform automatically detects the recent files of the device, so that you can easily find them In addition, with the help of this platform you will be able to correctly configure and manage everything that is stored within your iCloud cloud, you can store new documents and files by simply dragging them to the iCloud folder. Apple Files has made me feel quite comfortable since it has improved the way it exists within my mobile device and within my iCloud system it has to improve to implement a new system to be able to customize the platform, so that the user decides how the platform will be seen when managing your files, in addition, they should also improve their connectivity with the servers, so that you can export and import new files without presenting any kind of slowness.

    Positive: Apple Files is a perfect application to be able to manage the storage of your mobile device or manage rationing of your iCloud account, the first positive aspect of this iCloud platform, because you can insert or store new files within your iCloud account using With this application on your mobile device, you can drag new files or documents to the iCloud folder and automatically those files will be sent to the cloud, in addition, it has this function that displays everything that is stored in that iCloud storage in real time For example, if you have inserted a new file inside that folder from your computer, you will be able to access that file using your mobile phone immediately. Another aspect that I really liked about this platform is that it allows you to add new tags to each of the files stored on your mobile device or within the iCloud system, these tags are quite good since they allow you to identify important files, you can add a different label with different colors for each of the files, in addition, another important function of this platform is the scanning of new documents, you can scan anywhere with this function and the platform will automatically create a new document where you will write in detail all missing information, this function is very important to create from the scan with your phone camera. Another important function that can be found within this platform is that you can access files deleted a short time ago, this function is essential as it allows you to recover information on your mobile device that you have deleted by mistake, in addition, I have loved the system of Sharing files or documents, files in real time with anyone who is registered in your contacts or with anyone you register within iCloud, just by accessing this section, you can choose with whom you want to share a specific file.

    Negative: Apple Files presents a majority of quite positive functions, that platform helps you keep your files and documents completely safe and managed, however, the first negative aspect of this platform is the function of connecting to the server, it would not allow you to remotely connect to any server, correctly typing the server address and port of that server, you will be able to connect immediately to extract some type of file or store new files, however, this function does not fulfill its objective correctly, since most of the servers that do not connect In addition, this collection of servers is currently used, which will cause the export and import of files or documents to be very slow. Another negative aspect that I could notice about this platform is that it is not customizable at all, the user cannot customize this platform to improve the community when it comes to managing their documents and files, there is no type of function to edit the interface platform overview.
