Apple is constantly trying to advance the iPad and its iPadOS so that users can use it for regular work instead of Macs or classic computers. The truth is that it has been doing really well lately and the iPad can really be used as a desktop alternative in many cases. One of the applications that you will actively use when using the iPad is Files, where all data is managed. In the new iPadOS 16, we saw improvements to this application, and together we will look at 5 tips that you should know about.
