Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Carbonio Files at none against Documents's 1. Carbonio Files also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 50 months). Documents's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
