If you answer with "yes" to any of these questions, Decoupled wasn't made for you. Sorry. There's one important thing though: due to limitations of the iOS platform, when transferring files via iTunes File Sharing, the newly transferred items will appear only when you tap the refresh button at the top, or the next time the app is launched. First you should open the in-app file manager ("Files"), and from there open the "Transfer" page. Now, you should choose whether you want to use an FTP client (e.g. FileZilla on macOS or Total Commander on Windows), or a WebDAV client (e.g. Cyberduck both for macOS and Windows) for transferring files. If you choose WebDAV, you can use a simple Web browser…from decoupled.app
