“This is all done within the iOS Files app. You must of iOS v11 or greater. “How does one get this iOS files App? I don’t think it’s part of standard OSX 12 .x app on iPad. Where did you get your iOS Files app mate ? My OSX is very current 12.2.

It does come with standard iOS out of the box. You can reinstall it from the App Store if it has been deleted.

    Hi Greg, 

    I was able to move a few files the way you suggested and now it has stalled. I got an error message a few times about not having a helper application. It is not letting me move any files from Dropbox to iCloud now. Any suggestions you have would be appreciated. Thank you!

    You need to have the dropbox app on your device installed and running.
