      @@not_albert373 Well, I have been working from home because of the whole Covid thing. I recorded a video on my iPhone that I needed to upload to a desktop computer so I could edit it. In the office it wouldn't be a problem because I have a iMac there. But at home I have a PC. I was having a hell of a time trying to get the iPhone to connect to the PC. It just wasn't working. That's where the massive headache was building up.
      Then I learned about the "files" app on the iPhone, and researched and found this video on youtube. Then I learned how to upload the recorded video to files. And then accessed my icloud account through the web browser on my PC. Finally was able to download the video in full quality to the PC.

That is when you access a file in the iCloud if downloads a remote copy and then copy’s it temporarily?

    I appreciate this. I grew up with Windows so the way Apple stores files to an app is absolutely bizarre. Thanks for confirming.
    Question: is there any way to play video and audio files in a different app than the Files one? The Files media player is one of the most pathetic media players I’ve ever encountered.
