How can I connect to my time capsule from an iPad using the files app?

The description to the app says “enter the smb address”. But I can’t connect using the name or IP address.

Am I misunderstanding the options to connect to a server/network device? Any recommendations appreciated.


(I’m running iPadOS 13. Devices are in the same WiFi.)

Hello,


iPad’s Files application is incompatible with Time Capsule and other AirPort products.


I am quite annoyed by this decision as well!
