I am using iOS 11 beta on a 12.9" iPad Pro. When using the Files app and trying to access files On My iPad, the resultant screen is blank as if there were no files on the iPad. The Files app does show iCloud files (although not Dropbox or Google Drive files and I can't find a way to log into those services in the app). Also, there doesn't seem to be a way to access settings for the Files app (or for any third-party apps) in the Settings menu. Has anyone else observed these problems and does anyone have any solutions?
Problems with Files app in iOS 11 beta
Hello,
I experience exactly the same problems on my iPad Air 2, unfortunately i have no solutions either.
Hi,
Dropbox, Google Drive are not part of the Files App. The Files App is extensible by 3rd partys. These can include a FileProvider Extension in their apps. The Files Providers then appear in the Files App. So you will most likely have to wait until iOS 11 is released and Google, Dropbox update their apps to include this functionality.
Cheers,
Hendrik
Hi Hendrik,
Thank you for your clear explanation.

Also if you lanch a video from Files app, in iCloud, it wont play. If you transfer from iTunes, it works, and the new compression is outstanding., Documents and gif or jpegs work in Files.
This is on my iPad Pro 9.7 (Im not going to upgrade this year , I use my iPad for books, and im one of the crazy people who like the bezels. Its comfortable in my hands)
Hi Hendrik I too have no non-iCloud locations on my iPad 10.5, even after applying the new iOS 11 beta update today. I understand the comment about outside vendors like drive and box, but I (and I think Icasta) also have no listing for files locally on the iPad, which is in Apple’s domain. This is a major issue for me — I have plenty of storage on my iPad but only 5 GB on my free iCloud box. Best, Randy
My iPad 10.5 inch now says iOS 11.0 (not beta) but Files still shows no local storage or anything but iCloud location. Randy
Same here. Dropbox etc. still showing up in separate modal views.
