I have turned on show audio files from this device in settings but the local files folder does not appear. Any idea on what the problem is?

I had this problem on my iPad. It turned out I also needed to go into the iPad settings app ( as opposed to the Spotify app settings) and open the Spotify icon there. (The last section of Settings, where the apps are all listed alphabetically) I had to turn on the button allowing local access there. Then I was finally able to see and access my local files inside the Spotify app.
That option is not available for me.
Actually, that was exactly what I was referring to - enabling the local network and Apple Music. I had those turned off, but when I turned them on, I was able to access my local music that I had downloaded to my iPad and that was stored in the Apple Music app. Were you trying to access local music from Apple or from another source?
What I am attempting to do is play audio files, that I can find in the ‘files’ app, in Spotify.
I’m having the same problem and I’ve tried the same things. Any ideas?
Any updates to this? Having the same issue with an iPhone 14 Pro - can't find the Spotify folder in which to paste my music.
Thank you!
Hey folks,
If you have local files stored on your iPhone, you can add them to your library on Spotify by moving the files to the Spotify folder located in the Files app > On My iPhone. More info here.
In case the Spotify folder doesn't show up in the Files app, try rebooting your phone or logging out from Spotify and signing back in to your account.
Cheers!
