Is it just me or is it terrible?

Any time I try to save anything the files app hangs and doesn’t show any content that’s saved.

So just now I’m filling an online form in, uploaded a pdf from my iCloud Drive to the form and it worked fine.

I now need to upload another pdf which is an attachment to an email, so I open the pdf and click on share, save to Files, choose a location and it looks like it’s working (the location is irrelevant, it’s the same whatever I choose). I then go back to the form I want to upload to, click browse and now all locations in files are empty (Google drive, iCloud Drive and on my iPad).

Sometimes after a few tries it will finally work, other times I have to restart.

Is it just me, is there a fix?? Or is it just rubbish?

Sorry phil5556, I didn't see this when you first posted.

I use 'Files' all the time and I don't have any of the issues you describe. I think the usual thing to try with this sort of stuff is signing out and in again on all devices...

... well, that and asking @Drac how his iPad is doing.
