Why documents moved/saved in iCloud Drive through Files app is downloaded in my iPhone? How can i stop from downloading and let them in iCloud Drive?
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13
what I’m trying to say - I can’t find the documents in Files app in my iCloud.com account.
btw, I don’t have a Mac. i browse n search my docs in Files app from my iPhone. I also try looking tor the docs in iCloud.com from my windows-pc (laptop)
but i cant find them.. 🙁
I understand what syncing means.
But I can’t find any of the documents in Files app anywhere in my iCloud. I went to my iCloud.com but they’re not there. I even login to my iCloud acc from my laptop to check but same. That’s what confuses me right now.
anyway, thanks for responding, appreciate it.

I'm confused. You now say the files are not anywhere?
The design of iCloud is any files you place on your Mac in the iCloud Drive folder, should sync to the Files app on an iOS device.

Perhaps the confusion is here.
There is no iCloud app called Files. Only iOS devices have the Files app. On the web, on Windows and on the Mac, it is called iCloud Drive.
If your files aren't visible on iCloud in the IcLoud Drive app, or in the Files app on your phone, I don't how to explain where they may be. Be sure you are using the same Apple ID for each.
Were they ever visible in one of these locations?
This is hiw iCloud Drive works.
it is a syncing service designed to keep content the say the same between devices.
it is not off device storage.
So if i want the docs in Files app to be in iCloud, how do i do it?

The files are on iCloud. They are also on your phone.
That's what syncing means.
