Question

how to consolidate epub files into one folder

iPad file system: I have thousands of .epub files scattered in random folders on my iPad. Some seem to be in iCloud while others are local. Is there a way or an app to search on the extension and move all hits to a single folder? Ideally they should all be on iCloud so they are accesible from my Mac as well.

Thank you.

The Files app can let you search the iPad for .epub files. I found that if you do a long press with 2 fingers and then release you’ll get the ability to select multiple items. Once you’ve selected all you want to move, do a single finger selection to get the popup menu that will let you select where they go. Put them into an iCloud folder. That seems to be the best option.
