Documents 5 by Readdle creates the file ecosystem you've always wanted


Documents 5 by Readdle creates the file ecosystem you've always wanted


Documents 5 by Readdle has just been released with lots of new features and a brand new, more flat, design. New features include Windows Shares support, Background Downloads, a re-designed file manager, and more. More notable than anything else, Readdle has created even tighter integration than ever between all their apps.


For those not familiar already with Documents by Readdle, it's a management tool that lets you keep track of all your documents in one place. You can sync with Dropbox and copy frequently used files down, keep files in sync over iCloud, and more. You can pair with virtually all file sharing services for quick access to all your files in one place. Readdle tightly integrates Documents into their other apps for document editing.


The new version of Documents by Readdle focuses more on even tighter integration and a better user experience than anything else. The new add-ons feature brings complete integration between all Readdle products including PDF Expert, Scanner Pro, and more. This means if you need to annotate something, Documents 5 can operate as a central hub and launch companion apps as needed. The add-ons feature is currently only available on iPad.



Other new features of Documents 5 include a flatter design and better integration for Windows users with support for Windows Shares. This functionality lets you connect to shared folders on your PC and sync them back and forth between your computer and iOS devices. Extremely convenient for folks who access commonly used files regularly.


The update is full of other great features too including favorites, drag and drop support, color tags, background downloads and more. I've been using Documents and Scanner Pro for a long time now and I find the tighter integration between them on the iPad to make both apps even more valuable to me than they already were. I'm hoping iPhone support for add-ons comes sooner rather than later. If you happen to check it out Documents 5, be sure to let me know what you think of it in the comments!'
