2. Manually transfer the files/folders to the documents folder.

when in grid view or on the right side of the screen when in list view, and then tapping Remove from
Device. You can also view this option by pressing and holding on a collection's name or cover. The
remove options are contextual, which means they change depending on the type of content you are
