I’m not sure exactly what you tried, but it’s actually quite easy to download a file to the Files app.
As a quick sanity check: use something like YoutubeToMP3 [0] to generate an audio file. Then, clicking the URL of that MP3 will prompt a download modal that will save straight to the Downloads folder in Files - right from Safari.

- nikkwong 6y agoI would love this to be the case. If it really is this easy then I have failed my job as the head technologist of.. well, my family. This is the interface I'm presented with when I open a .mp3 file in a web browser [0]. None of the available options prompts me to any file system access or the "Files" app. I've diven deep into the settings, permissions, and other menus to no avail. Am I missing something obvious?

- dlivingston 6y agoLooking at the title bar of the app, it’s clear it isn’t Safari or even a web browser proper - what app are you using?

- nikkwong 6y agoHa! You guys have a good eye. I opened it in the browser with FB Messenger, however the sharing/saving actions presented are the same when I use iOS Safari or iOS Chrome. And unfortunately, I do have Files installed. Maybe what I'm experiencing is just an unfortunate consequence of not having upgraded my aging iPhone 6 yet.
