We explain how each of the new functions works in the file explorer for iPads.
When Apple develops a new version in the operating system of its electronic devices, the normal thing is that many novelties arrive at the software level. Especially for the native applications of the system, which are not few. The Files app on iPadOS 15 It has very useful functions to manage your storage.
The truth is that the list of new features of this tool in the update of the operating system on Apple tablets is extensive. An application that has improved a lot in the latest versions, since in the past it was a gesture with many shortcomings and that it lacked a lot to be a complete file explorer. For the iPad version it has received changes just like the Files app in iOS 15.
Files app on iPadOS 15: all the news in detail
Thanks to the Files app, you can manage all the documents and folders of the entire system and of all your cloud services, be it iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox or even external storage. Apart from its main utility, with the new functions you can do many more tasks.
Progress bar
Some time ago, when transferring to another folder or to another device, no progress was shown on the screen. With iPadOS 15 you have a circular bar to check the remaining time of the process. A detail that comes a little late in this tool, but is still appreciated. On the other hand, if you want to cancel the transfer for any reason, you can do it from that progress bar.
NTFS support
It is another of the important novelties in this app for the new version. With this compatibility of the Files app, you can mount this format in read-only mode. Thus, it allows you to access files in the NTFS format so that you can view their content, although you cannot edit them. It is a function imported from the Mac, more limited for iPadOS 15 but a step forward in every rule, since before the files that were in these units did not appear.
Group folders
The folder groups It’s another feature that appears in iPadOS 15 that wasn’t in the Files app before. There are many ways to view documents in storage, but this is a new way that allows you to group folders based on criteria.
It is another Mac-inspired feature, since in the Finder this type of groupings can be made. In this way, on your iPad you can see all PDF documents, photos, videos and other types of content grouped in the same file type.
Multiple choice
Apple has also implemented a way to use the mouse more efficiently in the application. With this peripheral, you can multi-select multiple devices with the cursor. Before it was possible to do it by dragging two fingers on the file, but it was not supported if you used the mouse. It’s perfect for moving large numbers of files, compressing a stack of documents, or simply adding labels in bulk.
Drag and drop function
Another help to more comfortably handle all files in the interface. Through this novelty, Apple has notably improved multitasking, since it allows drag any file, image or document from one application to another. Previously, you could only transfer photos from one app to another, but now the range of options is much broader, making it easier to work with the multi-window.
File transfer from Android
One of the main obstacles for users when moving from Android to an Apple device is the transfer of all the data. It seems like a long and complex process, so many prefer to stay without taking the leap. The truth is that with the iPadOS 15 Files App it will be much easier, since when arriving at an iPhone or an iPad from Android, the Apple device transfers files automatically, both documents and photos and folders.
