Question

Folders not identical on iOS files on ipad pro

Hello,

I work on illustrations on my ipad, procreate and save my files to CC in "files" latest iOS 11.4.1

When choosing to save to files / Creative cloud, I noticed that some folders appear double on my ipad, also when viewing them on CC app, but on my macbook they appear correctly.

This is quite confusing and I wonder if it is a known issue and if there is something I can do differently when deleting folders and files to avoid this in the futrure?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

c

Hi C,

Do you know what workflow results in the duplicate folders being created? Is it something that you can cause to happen by going through specific steps?

If I select an image in Procreate in the gallery view, go to Share and choose my image format, I then see a Copy to Creative Cloud option (not using Save to Files). If I select that, it opens the Creative Cloud app with a choose folder option at the top and upload button at the bottom. If I select a folder and upload this way it doesn't seem to create any duplicates for me. Maybe test and see if you get the same result?

Best,

- Dave

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your response! I might have not explained well enough, as the issues I have are not happening when saving to files from procreate, it is when I noticed something was off. I'll try explaining again and better this time.

The duplicates are folders and they weren't created in procreate itself. They only appear when I look at my CC files on my ipad though and aren't there when I look at my CC files on OSX.

Example of what I did and what I later see:

1. I moved a folder from CC to the trash on my imac, emptied trash.

2. I copied a new folder from my imac's hardrive to CC

3. On my CC folders viewed on OSX it's fine: no duplicates

4. One second later on my ipad pro folders, some folders are doubles

My question is: How comes in iOs they are double and in OsX they are as I arranged them in the first place.

Hope this was a clearer description of the situation, apologies for the missed first try.

best,

c

Hi C,

Thanks for the clarification. I also had some additional questions about your description of the issue.

For steps 1 and 2 do the folders have the same name? Are you deleting the original folder and replacing it with a different copy that has different content but the same name?

I'm wondering if this is some kind of delay updating on the view on iPad or it's creating a duplicates to prevent file loss.

A couple additional questions

- Do you see the duplicates folders online here too? Adobe Creative Cloud

- Are the duplicates appearing when viewing the folders within the Creative Cloud app on the iPad?

- Would it be possible to post a screen shot of what you're seeing on the iPad?

- Do the duplicates stay there forever or do they eventually go away?

Thanks,

- Dave
