Files Files on iPados 26 It transfers the data faster and has other changes that add all this compared to the version of the iPados 18. These are actually used now. “Col-SM-12″>The Apple iPados 26 update made many changes to the interface for several applications. As part of the update, many applications received a facial lifting with one of the most important applications in this group.
is designed for users to manage their documents and folders on the iPad, it has always been an application that did the work, but not without any effort. While Finder at MacOS is simple and quite intuitive, the files were used, but with many disadvantages.
as part of a general initiative aimed at making iPados more productive, Apple included many elements that can be considered Mac-like in nature. These are small changes, but they all add up.
This is what changed in files 26 to files in iPados 18, and how it can make your iPad better.
Ipados 26 files VS Files iPados 18
aesthetically speaking, there is aesthetically speaking, there is The improvements driven by the design of the liquid glass Apple. independently, as this occupies a precious space on the side panel. Under the icons that still do a lot of hard work than in the previous version.A large thing in the files for iPados 26 is the ability to use menubar. Visible with a blow down, it provides access to all functions of the Files application, very Mac.
, at least this will make files much more useful for the MAC user, which should cope with the management of documents without using Finder.
Files VAS-VS-Files-Ipados 18-Navigation folders
This is still in the files for the iPados 26, at least for the representations of the icons and columns. If you use the list of the list, now you can use a small arrow next to the folder, which then raises the contents of the folder as an opening list.
The invested folders in the list is a large update of performance in files for iPados 26
It is important to note that you can see and gain access to the files within the framework of this revealing folder without giving up on the folder in advance. You can still stay in the parental folder throughout all this.
This can sound as a small change for some, but for suffering users who must continue to move forward and back between the folders, this is a huge improvement.
Files iPados 26 VS Files iPados 18-List View Columns
Continuing the Theme of list to see, another problem was that it was quite restricting from the point of view of what you can view.
you can sort the list in various ways, but the columns will include the name and date, size or type of element. Of course, you could not view both the date and the size of the file in separate columns.
add more columns and changing their size in viewing the list in the Files 26 iPados 26
In the iPados 26, files graciously changed this to be much more flexible. Firstly, you can add much more columns to the view so that you can see how large the file is and when it was made at the same time.
The column list also increased, so you can see the date when the file was created, the latter modified, the last open, type, size, tags and iCloud status. While you will see the last two as badges next to a folder or a document usually, it is pleasant to be able to give them a separate column, which you can also sort.
you can turn on all the columns if you really want, and if it overflows the screen, you can simply scroll to the side to see those that go from the side. Moreover, you can change the width of the column by adjusting the level of detail proposed in it at the same time.
If you do not like the order of the column, you can also change them by duration of pressure and dragging the header of the column left or right.
File users will want the greatest flexibility in how they view the hierarchy and file data. At least in the iPados 26 files, they finally do this.
Files iPados 26 VS 26 VS Files iPados 18-Folders
Apple Has Long Allowed Users to Take Advantage of Tags in MacOS and iPados as a way to identify folders. However, the color point next to the folder is not so inspiring.
In accordance with the iPados 26, this was significantly updated so that the folder icon itself changed. You still get a color point, but the folder badge now demonstrates more individuality, which makes it much more recognizable.
, while a long press on the folder will include an option for “tags” in the iPados 18, which will lead to a simple pop -up surfacing form for choosing tags, iPados 26 makes a “set up folder & amp; Tags “.
files in the iPados 26 allows you to make a little more settings to your folders than adding a color point.
A new pop-up window has a greater pre-pre-viewing of the folder icon and the direct option for choosing a tag. Closing it allows you to choose a tag and relevant color, but this time it turns the entire folder icon.
Next down, you can add the icon to the front of the folder for a more clear identification. If the list does not have the icon you want to use, instead you can use emoticons.
Like tags earlier, these settings in the folder are also synchronized with analogues on your other devices. This red folder with a bulb buried on the ICLoud drive will also look the same in MacOS.
You can also place this folder in the docking station if you want you to quickly get its contents from any place. Apple says that you can drag the folder from the files directly to the dock station, but in our testing we could add it only by long pressure of the folder in the files, and then selecting the Add to to dokk.
In any case, this is a good addition.
Ipados files 26 against the iPados 18-Servers
Adding an online cloud storage service has not changed, and the instructions tend to attract an application related to the service, and it appears in the list of locations. In the same way, if you have an Apple account, you will see that the iCloud Drive will also appear here.
both are able to connect to the servers on the network with the correct accounting data.
When you transfer files with servers and cloud services to your iPad, this is where there is a slight change.
indicators for transferring files over the network in files for iPados 26
in both generations you will see a small round indicator next to the file, showing progress for loading or downloading. In the iPados 26, in the upper part of the screen there is a secondary large indicator, which, as we discovered, appears for very large transfers on the local network.
To check if there are any other practical advantages for using files in the iPados 26, we have held some temporary tests. We used the 11-inch M2 iPad Pro, working on the iPados 26 along with the 13-inch iPad Pro, working iPados 18.
the first test was the transfer of a large 4.13 GB file from the local iPad to the external disk. Both iPad used the portable SSD Lexar Professional Go, which is connected at a speed of 10 Gbit/s.
Testing a 4.13 GB file to the external disc USB-C
The result was amazing, since the Files iPados 18 application completed its transmission in a wonderful 10.1 seconds. Nevertheless, the IPados 26 version did the same in just 6.4 seconds.
Since the iPad is functionally similar to connect and process USB Type-C, and the external disk is the same, the difference may be associated with improvements in the iPados itself or in the Files application.
The second test was a program on Wi-Fi of the same file to the server. Two networks are quite comparable, but the iPados 18 iPad is at a connection of 600 Mbps, while the iPados 26 was 450 Mbit/s network.
Test 4.13 GB of file transfer to a local server via Wi-Fi.
Despite the inequality in Wi-Fi, the iPados 26 again won over 1 minute 58 seconds compared to a little more than three minutes.
by general recognition, this second test has a slightly larger number of variables than we like in various Wi-Fi networks in different jobs. But, despite the fact that the translation of the iPados 18 was noticeably slower.
for people who perform many large files, such as the creators of the content, this can be a very useful discovery and a large number of incentives to make an OS update.
Files iPados 26 VS Files iPados 18-Small, Yet Massive, Changes
The Files application has always been chosen as a shown team of developers, but in fact, nothing of this has been implemented. It was (barely) enough to allow people to access files in different folders or in a cloud storage, but without macOS finder grace.
it simply did not work. It interfered with an external storage and, as a rule, annoying.
moving from iPados 18 to iPados 26, files learned more tricks from Finder and implemented them well. The problems were cut out for the most part, making it a much more useful tool for productive users.
This is a big step for files, and in many respects it is now much closer to being the perfect equivalent of Finder, but on iPad.
