“Apple’s Files app solves mostly solves that for me.“
It’s better but it’s still riddled with arbitrary restrictions. For example when I want to watch a MKV video in iCloud I have to copy the file from iCloud to the folder of the player, then delete. Can’t open iCloud files directly with the player and can’t move either.
On the bright side I am confident by 2025 in iOS we will have the same functionality we had already thirty years ago... with the exception that every piece of software will be charged with the 30% Apple tax.
- msh 6y agoUsing infuse (a video player app) I can open files from icloud directly.
- Ididntdothis 6y agoHow?
- msh 6y agoSettings->Add files->via documents That open the icloud browser (wierd name)
- Ididntdothis 6y agoIt works but it’s quite clunky. Either you have to copy over when you play directly the video it’s not in the library. Definitely not very intuitive or simple.
- HumblyTossed 6y agoWow, that's a $60 app (or $10 per year). I wonder how much of the code for that is actually open source.
