I want to import image files from the iPad File Manager app into Lightroom Mobil on the iPad. 

I know I can do that with other image processing software of the iPad but would like to use Lightroom.

Launch Lightroom for iPad, tap on this icon, and then on 'Files'.

I don't see that icon. THe icon with the camera is present.

My version is 9.5.0 793255/164

Perhaps I need to delete and reinstall?

I had thought there was a way to import into Lightroom.

I am using an iPad pro with the M3 processor and plenty of memory. 

I had thought I used to have a way to add from the files app.

I don't see the Lightroom camera album from witching Lightroom on my iPad. Perhaps selecting the Lightroom camera causes it to be selected. I don't recall ever using the Lightroom Camera on the iPad, but I could have done so and forgotten. 

I must have done something to cause the import icon to disappear.


There are other albums too where you cannot manually add images, such as 'My Edits' and (probably, I don't use that) 'People'. If you select one of these albums then the icon also disappears.
