So a strange thing is that I changed where I create my "FilesListViewController" so that it's instantiated directly from my root controller and now downloads are quicker and no more connection errors. Although they're still no where near as quick as they should be. For example, downloading a 205 MB file from my Mac from my Dropbox account using Safari takes 15 seconds. The same file downloaded using UIDocumentPickerViewController takes 3 1/2 minutes. I'm using the same 5 ghz WiFi network on my MacBook Pro and my iPhone 7. Using macOS Sierra 10.12.5 and iOS 10.3.2 respectively.
Is it normal for UIDocumentPickerViewController to take that much longer to download?
