    Files app improvements?

    Has anyone noticed any Files app improvements? It badly needs a progress bar as well as improved reliability for file transfers. I’m not currently on iPadOS 14 so looking for any input.

    How to find those huge videos that take lots of space on the iPhone?

    I remember that not so long ago we had an option under Settings/General/iPhone Storage called "Review Personal Videos" to effectively find those large video files sorted by size.
