Re: File explorer for the iPhone

[Alan Lemly]

Will do but I suspect it will be awhile before I go to iOS 18. Apple Intelligence seems to be the thing the marketing types keep touting about 18 and it won't even run on my 13 Mini. At any rate, I'm already getting the AI I need from existing apps like Be My Eyes and if they are messing with what's being reported in the Files app as we're discussing here,, I won't be in a hurry to update.  Alan Lemly  Sent from my iPhone On Oct 17, 2024, at 10:09 AM, 'Richard Turner' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com> wrote:  Let me know what you find when you go to iOS 18.       Richard, “Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.” – Jane Wagner, from The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe.   My web site: https://www.turner42.com       From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Alan Lemly Sent: Thursday, October 17, 2024 7:57 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: File explorer for the iPhone   Richard,    That is curious and I can only attribute our different results to different app settings on our devices. Granted, I'm still running iOS 17.7 on an iPhone 13 Mini but when I browse through my files using the native Files app, drilling down on On my iPhone opens a screen listing all those files including the folders that house them. When I single finger swipe down on one of those files and execute Get info, I'm given a screen with various information about the file including its location and folder name. When you are browsing, you might check the More button in the upper right corner of the app to explore the settings there. I have mine set to List view.    Alan Lemly  Sent from my iPhone On Oct 16, 2024, at 11:43 PM, 'Richard Turner' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com> wrote: Right, but not the files on your iPhone.

You need to place focus on the file of interest within the Files app, single finger triple tap on the screen to open the context menu, swipe to the Get info option, and single finger double tap. The screen that opens provides all the info requested.    Alan Lemly  Sent from my iPhone On Oct 16, 2024, at 3:17 PM, 'Richard Turner' via VIPhone <viphone@googlegroups.com> wrote:  Anna, I had not really looked into what Files would show you on your iPhone. I am not sure it does what she was asking for. It doesn’t tell you where the app is on your phone. I checked the Info on an app that I know exactly where it is, but it did not tell me it was in a folder called MS Apps. I think she is looking for something else, but maybe she will chime in with more details.       Richard, “Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.”  – Jane Wagner, from The Search for Signs of Intelligent Life in the Universe.   My web site: https://www.turner42.com       From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Anna Dresner Sent: Wednesday, October 16, 2024 12:58 PM To: VIPhone Mailing List <viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: File explorer for the iPhone   Hi Christine,   Yes, the app is built in, and it's called Files.   Best, Anna   On Oct 16, 2024, at 2:31 PM, Kristeen Hughes <humelyb...@gmail.com> wrote:   Does someone know of a thorough app that will let me see the entirety of the files that are on the phone and where they are stored?   Thanks.   Kristeen ""Be careful when it comes to reincarnation.... one time I asked to be a singer and I spent 30 years as a sewing machine."     --  The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.   If you have any questions or concerns about the running of this list, or if you feel that a member's post is inappropriate, please contact the owners or moderators directly rather than posting on the list itself.   Your V iPhone list moderator is Mark Taylor.
