Am I using the Files app wrong?

Imagine how great it would be to name a file as you save it or to be able to delete a file in a 3rd Party app from Files. Wow how 1975

No, no, no... The Files app is what used to be iCloud Drive -- that is, a repository for documents like Word files or PDFs that you can store in iCloud and sync with your Mac. It's not like a true Files Browser such as you have on your Mac where you can see system files, plists, music files, etc. It's designed to be a cloud-based document browser that can connect to other similar services like Dropbox or OneDrive, and is a productivity tool.

Should have been named Documents, not Files. Stupid and misleading. And mostly useless.

Another default app to delete...

they way they demoed Files app prior to release of iOS 11,led to people believe they can finally access files on their iPhone/iPad and manage them..
it seems all Files app does is just providing a shortcut to iCloud Drive,google drive, dropbox and such..
completely useless, we could already access those cloud folder via their own app.
what's the point?
and what happened to "on my iPhone" and "on my iPad"?
unbelievable..so disappointed..

I’m with you. I had a lot of hope for Files and I’m extremely disappointed in it so far. I might just go back to Android where I had access to a local file system. So much easier.
