Will Apple be "forced" to include a file system with its i-Devices in the near future?

[Just_Me_D]

As the title states, will Apple, at some point in the near future, be forced or will have to seriously consider including a file system on it's i-devices, specifically, the iPad?

 

[rdiddy_25]

No. Too much issues arise when someone has access to their file system and they have no clue what they're are doing.

I could see a iCloud based file storage app coming some day....

I was thinking the same thing - something similar to Dropbox.

Maybe a "My Documents" folder but that's it.

If it was to happen it would most likely be buried in advanced settings requiring a pass code to enable it

I have to admit to loathing cloud based storage systems with a passion. I only use Dropbox because I got 50Gb free when I bought my Samsung phone and even then I really don't use it that much.

I would much rather a device-based storage solution with a file structure that was accessible to the user so that I could upload/download whatever I want to my device. I wouldn't even mind if the structure took the form of a number of set folders, such as music, files, pictures, videos etc, as long as I could choose what to put on and take off the device whenever I wanted.

True, but most companies are pushing cloud based now..... I would bet in the next 3-5 years nothing will be local on mobile devices..

We all know Apple - Is Apple ever forced to do anything? They will do it or not but never be forced to, Only if it is in their benefit.

Same here. I use Box because I got the app free during the holidays and it came with 50 gb of storage. I do wish there was a better way.

This is not something I look forward to at all

I like cloud services for backup but I prefer to keep my files locally

 

[John Yester]

Hopefully companies change their ways because I don't see it happening anytime soon

^^^^^^^^^^^^
No, and This ....
What baffles me was Apple's decision to 86 iDisk just as DropBox and all the other Cloud based storage systems including their own iCloud came to maturity. W*T*F Apple? ... SMH.

I don't need one.

What files are everyone trying to manage on their phone? There even any files on mine to manage. I don't even want any files on there that I would have to manage...

I'm not saying it's needed but I would use it if one was available

I'm the kind of guy that runs his PC thru the windows explorer not the desktop

Guess I got confused about "file system" and assumed you were referring to root access. Everything is moving to the cloud nowadays

I understand. There are a lot of people who would like to be able to save and manipulate files directly on the device like you can on a computer or non-Apple device.

 

[taz323]

Think it's bound to happen, but agree it will prob be cloud based.

 

[bobbob1016]

I would say no, as I don't think it's needed. I do think they should further the "Share" thing though. And allow me to chose where to save Pages/Keynote/Numbers files, as in my device or not. And also allow me to airdrop files between apps and desktop, but let them manage where they save them.

 

[Peligro911]

I hope they do something because no OS file storage is one thing I would really really like.

Even if it is cloud based as long as it's universal to the OS it would be good
Or even a folder system to store files with out access to ios files would be good also
As long as you can access it anywhere in the OS to be able to attach files to emails etc
