The data management system native to Apple’s mobile operating environment allows users to interact with and organize various types of documents, media, and other data elements directly on their devices. For example, a user might access a PDF document received via email, rename it, and move it to a specific folder within the system for later retrieval.
This capability provides a significant benefit to productivity and accessibility. By centralizing access to various types of information, the system eliminates the need to switch between multiple applications to locate and manage disparate pieces of content. Its development marked a shift towards providing users with greater control over their digital assets within the iOS ecosystem, mirroring file system functionalities found on desktop operating systems. This has also lead to the ability to work from anywhere without having to wait until accessing a computer.
