Where are my files stored? (iPad, iPhone)

Scriptation stores files locally by default. You can also connect cloud storage services to access files across devices.

Default: On My iPad / iPhone

To access your files in Scriptation, tap the File Browser — the three-line icon at the top-left of the screen.

The default save-to location is Scriptation's On my iPad / iPhone directory.

📝 NOTE: Files saved in On my iPad / iPhone are accessible only through Scriptation's File Browser. They won't appear in the iOS Files app or any other file management program.

📝 NOTE: Mac users can learn more about file storage in How do I open files in Scriptation for Mac?.

Connecting to Cloud Storage

Scriptation has built-in support for Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, and OneDrive.

iCloud is part of the operating system and will already be set up. To add Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive:

Open the File Browser;
Tap Add Connection;
Sign in to your account in the window that opens.
