Simplifying File Transfers when using an iOS mobile.

Please enable multiple file selection or remember the last folder during the transfer file process. Currently in iOS mobile app I can only pick one file at a time and because it goes back to the root folder for each new selection I have to find my way back to the same folder over and over again when transferring multiple files. 
Thank you.

    Hey Magdere, for security and privacy reasons we can't open the link.

    Do you think you can send a shared link my way, in order for me to have a visual?

    Hey Magdere, let's jump right into this! 

    Just to make sure we're on the same page here: it sounds like you're using a File Transfer on your iOS app. 

    Do you try to upload content from your Files app, from your camera roll or from your account online? Do you notice the same behavior no matter the way you're trying to upload content? 

    If you have any step-by-step screenshots, feel free to send them over! Thanks a bunch.

      Hi Megan

      Thank you for the follow up. I made a screen to show exactly what happens. Even if  I start the transfer from the exact folder, page still opens from the root folder for every item selected.

      I hope this is clear explanation of my concern. I look forward to hear from you. 

       

      Thanks.
