Choosing β€œRemove Download” also fetches the server copy, so the edit is discarded. This is how iOS works, and this app cannot change it. [All features are free. Support (the price of one coffee) is optional.] An iPhone and iPad app that puts your WebDAV or SFTP server in the Files app. Open NAS boxes, home servers, Nextcloud, and other shared folders with the same file actions you already use. The server list can sync with the Mac app via iCloud when you use the same Apple ID. [Works with Files] After you connect, each server appears as a location in Browse.
