The Omni Group Adopting Standard iOS Document Browser
Summary
Instead of seeing our custom file browser, you’ll be presented with the standard iOS document browser—just like in Apple’s own iWork apps. Using Apple’s browser, you’ll be able to store and sync your documents using Apple’s built-in iCloud Drive, or third-party commercial options like Box—or even in cloud- or self-hosted collaborative git repositories using Working Copy. OmniPresence is not a core part of our apps or business, and in 2019 there are lots of great alternatives. As more apps adopt the document browser, that unified experience becomes more a reality for iPad and iPhone users. The timing of the Omni Group implementing the document browser is surely no surprise: this fall Apple’s Files app is being upgraded with support for external storage devices like USB drives, a new Column view, shared iCloud Drive folders, and more.
