How to save a document from VK to iPhone

Telegram channel Programmer and business. Every day there are interesting stories about how a programmer builds a business.

Today it is difficult to find a person who does not have a smartphone and does not know about social networks. For example, almost everyone living in the CIS countries knows about VKontakte. Here you can listen to music, watch videos and communicate via messages. Many users have an iPhone. The Apple device has gained immense popularity. But not everyone knows how to download music from VK to iPhone. Let's figure out what programs and applications this can be done with. We will also find out what difficulties may arise during downloading.

How to download a document from VKontakte to iPhone or iPad

Directly on the VKontakte social network, users can exchange various files, including PDF files, documents, presentations and even archives. Not everyone knows that you can view and edit documents and files received from VKontakte directly on your iPhone or iPad, and this is very convenient to do. This instruction describes how to download a document from VKontakte to an iPhone or iPad.

Step 1. Install a file manager on your iPhone or iPad. Great free options are Documents and File Manager.

Step 2. Launch VKontakte and find the document that you need to download to your mobile device.

Step 3. Click on the document to open it. Step 4. On the page that opens, click on the “Send” button and select “Open in Safari.” Step 5. In Safari, click “Open in [name of file manager].” If this item is not on the page that opens, click “More” and select the file manager you are using. The file you need will be saved to your device.

Note that in the case of some types of files, for example, PDF, to save them you need to click the “More” button, which appears under the address bar and then select a file manager. If this button disappears from the screen, just refresh the page.

Programs for downloading from VKontakte

Of course, in addition to extensions, there are special programs. For example, users can use VKLife or VKMusic. Both programs are almost identical to each other. A special window displays files available for downloading (video, photo or audio). The only difference is that VKLife is like a browser. That is, in order to find suitable files, you first need to log into your account using your username and password (directly through the program itself), after which all files that can be downloaded either from VKontakte or from Mail.ru will be available in the table on the right, or from YouTube.

It is worth noting that attackers are also not asleep and are always trying to create similarities of the programs and extensions listed above in order to find out passwords and addresses, so when downloading this or that extension you should be extremely careful.

How to download and view documents on iPhone?

Many iPhone users have the fundamentally incorrect opinion that downloading and viewing documents on an Apple smartphone is an extremely time-consuming and complex process. We decided to bust this myth by demonstrating some of the features of the free Documents app from Readdle.

There is a reason why people think so poorly of the iPhone - the standard functionality of the device does not support transferring and working with documents in popular formats. The reason is the closed operating system. For a long time, jailbreak helped get rid of restrictions: tweaks appeared every now and then in the unofficial Cydia application store that allow you to fully work with documents of various formats. But not everyone likes jailbreaking, and some don’t even have the ability to “hack” their device.

It was then that the Documents application appeared on the scene and then quickly became popular, with the help of which any iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch user can download any files in a convenient way. Convenient controls, elegant interface and excellent speed of the application have made it the most famous in its category. The application, of course, has competitors, but they can’t compete with the power of Documents.

Readdle Documents, as the app is now officially known on the App Store, supports a huge number of different file formats. The functionality of the application processes both text files and pictures, videos and archives. Directly from the application, you can search the document and edit it using a full-fledged editor.

You can upload documents to the application in three different ways. Let's take a closer look at each of them.

How to Upload Documents to Readdle's Documents App Using iTunes

Step 1: Download Readdle's Documents app on your iPhone

Step 2: Connect your device to your computer and open iTunes

Step 3: Select your iPhone in iTunes, go to the Applications tab and scroll down to the Shared Files section

Step 4: In the Shared Files section, click on the Documents application. The window on the right will display all documents loaded into the application.

Step 5. Click the Add to... button, select the required documents

Step 6. Click Synchronize for the document to appear in the application

Step 1: Download Readdle's Documents app on your iPhone

Step 2. In the application, open the Network tab and add the cloud service you are using

Step 3. Log in using your credentials and confirm the connection of the Documents by Readdle application with the cloud service

Step 4. Now in the Network tab you will have access to folders located in the “cloud” and you can download and view any of them

Step 1: Download Readdle's Documents app on your iPhone

Step 2: Open Safari and find the page you want to download the document from

Step 3: Click on the address bar and change the URL from https://[sitename] to rhttps://[sitename]. In iOS 7, the "http" abbreviations are hidden in the address bar, so you need to enter them yourself, remembering to add the letter "r"

Step 4: The Readdle Documents app will automatically open and display this page. You can now click on the link to download the required document

Step 5. Initially, the document will open in the built-in browser, but you can click the Save file button in the upper right corner and load this file into the device memory

You don’t need to use Safari at all in this method; you just need the built-in browser from the Documents application from Readdle by swiping from right to left along the bottom of the screen.

In addition to supporting all file formats, convenient ways to upload documents, and a beautiful design, Documents by Readdle is also very fast. See for yourself by downloading the free app from the link below.

How to save a document from VK on your phone.

In a situation where it is impossible to access the Internet from a computer or laptop, it is useful to know how to download documents from VK to your phone.

To do this, you need to go to the VKontakte mobile application.
The already familiar “Documents” line in the drop-down menu is not here.
You need to click on your avatar and go to your page.

go to “Documents”;
enter the name into the search bar;
Having found it in the list, add the document to yourself.

Using VK as an exchanger and data storage is very convenient. It is unlikely that this social network will replace the usual torrents, but here you can find quite rare, unique files.

Search by section

Using it allows you to find the necessary documents that were made by someone. Thus, VK Documents help you download other people’s files - essays, books, diplomas, coursework. The function is great for students and schoolchildren, who are the most active users of the section in this regard. The peculiarity is that “Documents” saves the full weight of files sent within the network. Only with the help of individual words or key phrases can you find the necessary information. Keyword selection can be done using the following methods. First, enter into the search bar the names of those who submit papers earlier than others at the university. Secondly, find the teacher’s page where work samples can be posted. Thirdly, type the name of the training course, and everything related to the subject will be found

,
.xls
, .ppt with all sorts of new versions.

When working with files, you should never download those that have provocative names, or names of passwords, keys, or PIN codes. Sometimes users can upload documents where the title matches the internal content. Sometimes there is a need to store documents for some time; they need to be protected from penetration and downloading. To do this, you need to set a password labeled “ personal document
”. This will hide it from the search bar and ensure privacy when using it.

How to save any documents to your files on iPhone and iPad with iOS 11

The Files app on iOS 11 is a high-quality storage for documents on your iPhone or iPad. You can use it just like Finder on a Mac. You can create different folders to download and store different types of files: photos, PDFs, text documents, etc.

Previously, photos could only be saved in Photos, and text documents could only be saved in Notes. But now you can create different folders for inspirational photos, recipe PDFs, and more. Plus, the Files app can be connected to iCloud and Dropbox, and your documents will be synced across all devices.

Saving to Files on iOS 11 has also been improved. It's enabled by default, offered as an option everywhere, and works much better than Save to iCloud on iOS 10. On iPad, you can even drag and drop files and have them instantly saved to the app.

Use Save to Files

Step 1: Long-press the image, and if you are viewing a document, click on the Share button.

Step 2: A window with options will pop up. On the bottom line, select Save to Files.

Step 3: A list of folders that you have created in the Files application will appear.

Step 4: Select the folder where you want to save the file. Then click Add.

The file will be saved to the selected folder.

Drag and drop files on iPad

Sometimes the window with saving options simply does not pop up. Images on pages in Safari are a great example. In such cases, you can simply drag and drop files.

Step 1: Open the Files app on your iPad in Split View.

Step 2: Next, long-press the file you want to save and drag it to any folder in the Files app.

If the file has a suitable format (image, PDF, text document), it will be saved to your device.

Use tags for sorting

In addition to folders, you can also use tags. To do this, hold down the file and select Tags.
