With the announce of iOS 11, here comes a Files app on the basis of iCloud Drive, allowing users to easily and quickly view, search and organize files in a default app including files in apps, in iCloud Drive, on all your iOS devices, and across other third-party cloud services. There are unknown tricks in using the Files app. Let me show you the ropes.

Add Third-Party Cloud Services

Apart from the direct access to iCloud Drive, the Files app is compatible with third-party c;pid services.

There are multiple output available. You can send your files through AirDrop, Messages, Mail, a shared note, and more.

Great article! Could I also point you to an app that I just released called "Direct Shot for iCloud"? Direct Shot is a camera-based utility that helps you stay organized by skipping the Camera Roll and sending photos and video directly to the iCloud locations you choose.
