This makes file handling almost as simple as it would be on a desktop computer. To move a file, simply tap and hold your finger on it, then drag it to your destination of choice.
It can be a folder, or a cloud service such as iCloud , Dropbox, etc. No matter how good you are at getting this workflow down, it still feels like downloading files and documents from an iPhone or iPad is a giant pain in the butt. Maybe this will be part of a future software update, especially now that Apple is trying hard to pitch iPad as a work machine.
