Discussion on: iOS: Saving files into user’s iCloud Drive using FileManager

[Umayanga Alahakoon]

Yeah, the same iCloud account and I'm not doing backup.
I have no idea what causes this problem.

I'll try something with CloudKit.
Thanks for the reply. Have a great day.

My app's folder doesn't show up inside iCloud Drive in iOS files app. I think this might be the problem.

I've correctly specified the .appendingPathComponent("Documents") part and I can even see all of my saved images via Settings->Account->iCloud->Manage Storage->AppName

This is how I save images to the iCloud Drive

// "imgData" is the jpeg data of an image

let driveURL = FileManager.default.url(forUbiquityContainerIdentifier: nil)?.appendingPathComponent("Documents")

let filePath = driveURL!.appendingPathComponent( <unique-name-of-the-image> )

try imgData.write(to: filePath)

Do you have any clue on what's wrong with my app? (especially on the app's folder doesn't show up inside iCloud Drive)

Did you try bumping up the app and build numbers?

[Umayanga Alahakoon]

Yeah, but still doesn't work. Anyway, thanks too much for replying me. Have a nice weekend.

[Filip Němeček]

Strange, one last thing that occured to me.. What language is your device? Maybe "Documents" works only for English? Which would be crazy but who knows..

[Umayanga Alahakoon]

It’s English (US)

I have the same problem. I do everything in this article, but no folder appears. I tried to add a createDirectory call too, but no dice.

[Anders Hovmöller]

Well crap. In my case if I just created a file in the folder it appeared! So seems different from your case.
