Your files stay on your device, inside the app. • Passcode lock: 4 or 6 digits, a custom number or letters, with Face ID or Touch ID. The app locks again every time you leave it, and after 10 wrong passcodes it stays locked for a while. • A passcode for any folder, with a security question in case you forget it. • Folders in your own colors, grid or list, sorting and filters, hidden files and folders. • Move, copy, rename, share, unzip, select many items at once, copy and paste with the clipboard. • Add files from Photos, the camera (photos and videos), your music library, other apps ("Open in…") and the built-in browser with downloads, bookmarks and history. • View photos, play videos, listen to music in the background with shuffle, repeat and a mini player, and open PDFs and office documents. • Recent files, and a Trash that keeps deleted items for 30 days. • Light, dark or automatic appearance, on iPhone and iPad.
