to Go Button
Hi,

I'm new to go button.  This is what I'm doing:

I airdrop an mp3 from my computer to my iphone.

I open the "Files" app on my phone and select the file, then click the "share" button on the bottom left corner.

I select the go button app from the list.

The file is imported into go button, but then also duplicated in my files app.

What am I doing wrong?  There's no way to tell when looking in my Files app which track has been sent to go button.  If i delete from my Files app, the track also disappears from go button.

Having a hard time because instructions say ""Copy" or "Move" or "Save to Files", and then navigate to On My iPhone > Go Button."  but I have never seen the option.  Takes up storage on my phone.... any help is appreciated

Hi Adam -

The files listed in the Files app On My iPhone > Go Button are in fact the same files as what are shown in the "Documents" tab of the Media Picker inside the app. They are two different ways of looking at the same items.

To put another way, in the Files app if you move a file into the Go Button folder rather than "share" it, you should be able to avoid the duplication and still see that file in the Documents tab of the Media Picker.

Brent
