I fail to understand what difference it makes to the website you are visiting? Any website that has a form and the opportunity to upload a document from either your PC Mac or iPad or any other mobile device. The only difference I am discovering is that other makers that are simular to iPad do not have a problem uploading documents. I thought I would choose Apple even though it is more expensive.but it seems to me that I would be wasting my money if I am unable to demonstrate a simple thing like upload to a website a file I have saved on mobile device. Perhaps I am not explaining myself I don't know but unfortunatley to me it looks far to complicated and not even the experts at Apple are forth coming.:-( Mar 8, 2013 7:57 AM.

• Iphone Upload Files

I fail to understand what difference it makes to the website you are visiting? Well, you obviously have no idea what it takes to upload files to websites then! If it wasn't important, we wouldn't bother asking.

Is there actually a way to upload documents in safari. It allows you to upload (and download) files. How to avoid redundant iCloud photo upload from iPhone. Living life without iPhone. Safari iOS 9 Allows Safari File Upload for Files From. Finally finally! Now can you download files to iCloud drive from safari. Apr 14, 2016 How to download files and documents to iPhone. And allow you to transfer files to. From the bank that the file was downloaded via safari.

When you readily admit to not being an 'IT professional' why dismiss what others (who you've asked for help from) ask you in order to help you? Different websites use different methods for uploading files. Here's some of them: a) FTP (usually used by the site owner to upload data to the site) b) A Java applet (not supported on mobile devices) c) A small Flash movie (not supported on mobile devices) d) A HTML5 File Reader API (supported on iOS 6 onwards) e) The old HTML4 File Input (supported on iOS 6 onwards, but only for Camera Roll images in Safari) f) A dedicated app, available from the AppStore. Also, different operating systems and different web browsers (especially on mobile devices) have varying amounts of support for all these methods.

It is not as simple as you seem to think. Plus, not all websites are programmed with the limitations of mobile devices in mind. A mobile OS does not have all the features of a desktop OS. It's only recently that websites have started to cater for uploading files from mobile devices, and I doubt a UK Government site is likely to be at the cutting edge of web development for mobile devices. For security reasons, the iPad does not have an fully open file system like a computer, or a partially open one like Android (that's why Android devices suffer from malware/viruses and iOS devices don't). Each app is sandboxed, meaning it can only access its own files, or areas of the file system that are explicitly allowed (such as the Camera Roll for photos). That's why in Safari on iPad you can only upload photos to websites which support one of the HTML methods for uploading files.

Other third-party iOS web browsers (such as iCab) do allow uploading of other file types through HTML Upload buttons. However, due to the sandboxed nature of iOS apps, the document has to be stored 'inside' the specific app you are uploading from. Different apps have different methods for getting files into them. You need to do a little research before spending your money, and understand that mobile devices run different OSs and cannot do everything that desktop/laptop computers can do. Not even the experts at Apple are forth coming This is a user-to-user forum only, so you won't get any replies from Apple themselves. Mar 8, 2013 9:11 AM. I think that it ought to be possible that when on your iPad with a PDF file, a person ought to be able to go to their Safari website, click on Upload file and not only have available your assortment of personal photos and fun creations made using apps with your afore mentioned photos, but there should ALSO be available your stored PDF files in a nice little stash in just the exact same way all of your personal photos are stored.

Perhaps entitled, instead of say Camera Roll, but like PDF or PDF File. I am not, nor does it appear as tho the previous person are talking about movies and flash etc. We are talking about clicking Upload folder/attachment. Just the barest of essentials. We do not require Java, or uploading anything except a PDF. We would like to do so by clicking Upload file. But no matter what fun and promising PDF App we have added to the iPad which claims it can add your emailed PDF file to it for uploading these never show our PDF document.

The iPad will only show us photos. I find quite funny the app which claims you simply have to slide your PDF from your email into the app and the app is supposed to enable you to upload to websites. So hilarious, because when you open your email you cannot see your app. PDF Export App does appear to allow you to email. But I can simply forward my PDF from my email in the first place.

Iphone Upload Files

One of our users just notified us that our web application works very well through Safari on the iPad (or whatever the default browser is - I assume Safari). The only thing that doesn't work is the file upload part. Our web application enables our users to attach files in various parts of the system. I was thinking about this. The iPhone takes pictures, but doesn't really give me the ability to upload them via a standard web interface (where you click a button, choose a file, upload the file, etc).

Is this even possible? Or is the only way to upload files from an iPhone/iPad via a custom app written for the device? Is there a way to upload a file on an iPad via the web browser?
