I usually use Android products with QField but right now I need to evaluate all portable solutions, which includes iOS. However, just when I come to the data storage access in order to load a new project, I hit a wall. I have been able to successfully load projects from QFieldCloud, but I can't seem to be able to add anything else, unless it has been previously loaded in the specific QField folder (created when the app is installed) or the already selected "favorite folders". Am I missing something here?

I have browsed on QField Ecosystem Documentation website in order to find an answer (https://docs.qfield.org/get-started/storage/), but there is only info for Android OS. Because I don't find it very user-friendly if there are no ways to access other storage solutions (OneDrive, GoogleDrive, DropBox) or even just another local storage folder on my device.

In French we say, 1 image makes up for a 1000 words. Since no one has commented or tried to answer, I hope this example will make my question clearer. on left iOS data access page, on right Android data access page

Currently iPhone Files app allows you to access QField folder. You can search for "QField" inside your mobile storage and you will get a folder that has a logo for QField. Open that folder and go to the folder of "Imported Projects". Place your files there. You will be able to find them when you open the app now. Just ensure you click the project file when you open the QField app.
