Local Files

I used to be able to sync my local files from my MacBook to my iPhone without any problem, but your newest update for iOS removed the Local Files section where the Playlists tab is. Can you help me out on how to sync local files again? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hey @bababuya

 

What I have been doing for years is I have a playlist that I created called "Local Files" and in the desktop app I have added all my local files to it. Then in the iPhone app I have download that playlist for them to sync over.

 

It looks like the local files help article has tweaked the wording to match the removal of the dedicated local files playlist. You will need to create your own.
