It took some time to get working with the new file “system”. Some of it isn’t obvious, and you have to play with it to see the options. Overall, it’s a good start, but it’s not everything it could be.

Fast and informative. Good video

mindwaves Said:

Good overview, but missing one huge limitation -- the inability to any of those mentioned things in Dropbox and Google Drive. Selecting multiple files, etc are only limited (right now) to iCloud Drive, which is a huge limitation. If viewing Dropbox files, you are only limited to a panel browser with no sidebar.

I'm thinking the respective apps will have to be updated with the proper APIs and that this will be fixed with an update once iOS 11 is out of beta.
