Apple’s WWDC 2025 announcements included changes to the Files app in iPadOS 26 that, well, frankly, makes it actually usable for the first time.

The Files app is a very handy tool on iPadOS for managing documents and folders, but it’s not as user-friendly as it could be. And let’s be honest, it was a bare-bones effort, that didn’t work that well.
For a start, the List view was pretty limited in how it appeared, as you couldn’t adjust how the columns appeared size-wise at all. It was also very clunky when it came to navigating between different folders, since you could only see the contents of one folder at a time.
