Files app not showing downloaded files on iPhone 13

Hello, when I download something, I see that file doesn't show up in Files app, but in Safari's downloaded files section and I must go there to download the files.

Can somebody fix this?

Why are Safari downloads not showing in files on my iPad after iPadOS 18.5 update? I upgraded my iPad to 18.5, but now on the Suno.com website, downloads no longer work (they did on 18.4) in the Safari web browser. The download starts and completes but the downloads folder doesn’t show the downloaded file, but Safari does show the downloaded files when using the downloads-icon. I tested with a download of a picture from somewhere else and that works, so you could conclude that Suno.om is at fault here. But when I use like Firefox on iPad OS, the Suno.com downloads just work. The only difference here is an iPad OS upgrade, so Safari must have changed something in order to break these downloads, still shows them through Safari, but they cannot be found anywhere in Files. Any ideas to fix this? (I did restart, clear Safari caches/website data, all to no avail) Or is this a new bug being introduced with 18.5? Thanks, John [Re-Titled by Moderator]

The location set here is Icloud. I tried to set another, but still - not showing in Files app. Also, ignore my early reply.
