importing a file from files.app doesn't remember last folder open

When using any application like Notability (or Goodnotes, vectornator among others), and you import a file using the Files option, it will open a browser window. That used to open at the last folder location. Not anymore, at least in my case, it will open in the Recent Used option which, in fact, it is not the last recently opened. It seems that it is not updating the recently used.


Is anyone else having the same issue? It is very annoying when you continuously have to import and navigate the folders again.

Hello manueljgr,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. If you haven't tried yet, we recommend to restart your iPad Pro. This is a step that can help resolve unexpected behavior. Here's how:


"How to restart an iPad without a Home button

1. Press and hold either volume button and the top button until the power off slider appears.


2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.


3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the top button until you see the Apple logo."


Following these steps may help and is outlined here: Restart your iPad - Apple Support


In addition, you'll want to make sure that you have the latest available version of iPadOS installed. This helps to provide software improvements that may help with Recents in the Files app. You can verify that by going to Settings > General > Software Update.


Kind regards.
