Downloading Files on an iPhone

You can synchronize your iCloud Drive and Files app on your iPhone to access files from both places. It's advisable to download files to a Mac and save them in your iCloud Drive. After that, you can open them on your iPhone through the Files app. However, if you prefer to download files from your iPhone, follow these instructions. You can save files to various locations, but this guide will show you how to save files to the Files app on your iPhone.
