It can be iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive, or other similar services. We are using the Files app because this is a stock application that comes with all iPhones and iPads. On your iPhone or iPad, go to Safari and open the file you are trying to download. In this example, we are trying to download a PDF file. Select Save to Files. From there, you will be able to enable the Files extension. At this point, you may rename the file and select a specific location before saving it. Personally, I like to save my downloaded files into the Downloads folder, so this is the folder I will select.

Now tap the Save button. The file is now in your iCloud Drive and will be available for easy access across all your devices, such as your computer, your iPhone, iPad, etc. The steps mentioned above work great if the file you are trying to download is available publicly from a website.

But things can get a little tricky if you are trying to download a file or document that is stored on a password-protected website. Here is how to use it to download a file from a password-protected site. Select New Folder. Enter the name of your new folder. Then tap Done. Add a tag Tap Select. Tap the file that you want to tag.
