why does the ipad zip them? Is there a way to simply use your files directly from the drive and view them without them being zipped?

Thank you!

[@FamilyReunionPhotography]

THANK YOU!!! I’m a professional photographer and have had my iPad Pro for 2 years. I never could figure this out. I’ve been screaming, “I HATE APPLE SO MUCH!!!” And would always hear how easy it is from other photographers. Today I learned there was a toggle hidden that I simple needed to click on allowing me to see my Dropbox folder. 🤬 For the love of all things good, why is Apple so difficult to work with? Right now my issue is that I NEED to know a files name so I can verify I actually have it saved on my desktop before I delete it off of my iPad. But noooooo, Apple won’t show me the damn file name. Ugh!!! I see me returning to my Surface Pro very soon. No frustrations there.

I think it may have been as simple as clicking the back button in top left to access other files when in “files” app
