The latest update has issues! I was trying to download 2 files from icloud to my phone. I selected the 2 files and touched the download button. It didn't appear to do anything, so I pressed it a few more times. I didn't realize it, but it had downloaded those 2 file every time I pressed the button. This app used to give a downloading files notification even when downloading multiple files. Now this notification only happens if only 1 file is selected for download. I wish I could downgrade.

2-factor auth code send via SMS always incorrect, why?
★☆☆☆☆Sean S· May 20, 2026
App wouldn't let me sign in at all when my Apple account had 2FA Security Keys active. Which was annoying. There wasn't even a notification to tell me my Security Keys were the problem. I just realized it was the issue on my own. So I temporarily disabled the Security Keys to sign in. After that mess, once I finally signed in I encountered more glaring issues. I was given 403 errors for Photos and a blank Files screen. Nothing is working. This app ended up being a total waste of my time. Smh🤦

MFA. I never get the MFA text when requesting the code via sms. Makes the app pretty much useless.
