As I begin to accumulate lots and lots of files in Affinity Photo for iPad, I'm wondering if there is any way to look at the files and edit them in bulk--delete them, display their filesize, or easily archive/batch export them as .afphoto files (I know that iOS 11 will change--improve?-- some of this.) The app doesn't support 'App file sharing' where we can see and add to/delete files in iTunes...I guess I'm just wondering what the suggested workflow is (short and long term) when you have dozens of .afphoto files in the app.

MEB, thanks for welcoming me, but I've been here quite a long time. And yes, you've restated my question. And I'm well aware of how to manage iCloud Drive files, thanks.
 
What I was trying to generate was a discussion of how to deal with the files within the app--when you have dozens inside, it has a couple of problematic effects...you end up with a large amount of "black box" storage--storage you can't really assess, without more functionality.
 
I certainly understand that this is the initial release. I'm just trying to make sure that we don't go too far down the road thinking the "black box" approach is good enough. When you have a ton of files inside the app, it isn't.
 
I was also trying to get some sense of why the developers decided NOT to implement app file sharing with the initial release.

Hi MEB, good you are looking ahead and are actively prioritising future features. Hear my voice in support of jcburns. Rolling out a professional grade app for the iPad, with cross-platform feature parity advertised but lacking direct access and seamless sharing to the Affinity Photo folder on iCloud is a severe let down. This is one of the gaps to be filled, urgently.
 
Were it not for the rich feature set already available on the iPad, "Black-box" storage would be a killer. "Black-box" storage on an iOS device is usually a reliable marker for crappy apps that will be deleted immediately.
 
Count my voice, I will bear with you.
