iPadOS 18 Files App issue on shared iPads

Hi,

we got an issue with the new iPadOS 18 where downloaded files dont show up in the files app. You can find them as recently used files, but neither the download folder nor the file itself are anywhere in the directory or at least not visible.

Has anyone had similar issues on managed devices?

iPads are managed as shared iPads with guest Users only.

Problem with subfolders of any apps in iTunes file sharing from iPad Pro to PC I am unable to open any subfolders of any apps in iTunes file sharing from iPad Pro to PC. I saw an answer somewhere that if files in subfolder have been move then iPad can't see them, however, I know there were no files moved. This is a major problem because these files need to be moved out to clear memory on the iPad. iPad OS 16.3.1 iTunes Version 12.12.7.1 PC Windows 11

Why did my Files app disappear after updating my iPad to iOS 17? Went to delete an empty file in the app and the app disappeared. The files are located in Pages downloads but cant be opened. Contacted Apple support Chat and referred to senior agent by phone.. call cut off no return call from Apple. You can access the files though by going to the App store and access the files app. It will on allow you open not download but you can access your files. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
