Description:

Using the menu Script Library > iCloud in Pythonista 3 on iPad shows .py files created in Pythonista, but not files created in another IDE and saved to that iCloud folder

Steps to reproduce:

create .py file in an IDE on MacBook Pro
save the file on MacBook Pro in iCloud > Pythonista 3 > <subfolder>
in Pythonista 3 on iPad, open the main menu (hamburger menu) and select `Script Library > iCloud > 

Expected:

Pythonista file navigator shows all files in the folder

Actual:

Pythonista file navigator shows only the files created in Pythonista

Questions:

Is Pythonista caching an index of its iCloud folder separately? If so, is there a way to get Pythonista to reindex the folder?
How to see all the files in the Pythonista iCloud folder, and thus use that folder for syncing files between iPad and MacBook Pro?
Problem:

Pythonista does seem to be either a) relying on an outdated index of the iCloud > Pythonista folder itself, or b) not downloading the files from iCloud automatically. We need to force Pythonista to fetch the file details directly and/or download the files.

Solution:

Under the main menu (hamburger menu), click the +, then Import..., and select Files from the contextual menu. This will access the iCloud drive.
Select the Pythonista folder from iCloud.

This should trigger Pythonista to download the current files from iCloud. You won’t need to actually complete the import procedure - it’s enough to access the iCloud drive through the import menu.
