Hey adamny, sorry to jump in here, but could you let us know your device's exact OS version?

iPadOS 16.5

I don't think iPadOS allows for cache clearing for neither DB nor Files app (unlike Android os).

But are you suggesting that you are able to search your DB acct through the Files app on your ipad?

I was never able to.

To bring this issue home: we can't do much about Files functionality, but my initial post was to request the ability of the DB app to open pdf files in more than just Acrobat Adobe Reader.
