The document browser not only enables users to store an app’s files in any file provider they wish, but its other primary benefit is offering a single unified file browsing experience for users on iOS.

As Case points out, all of Apple’s iWork apps support the document browser, and several key third-party apps do too such as PDF Viewer, MindNode, and Pretext. The document browser in iOS is essentially a special view of the Files app which is used as the root file management UI in document-based apps that adopt it.
This is an excellent change and one I hope more apps move toward. Seamless document syncing is essential to our apps-but exactly where and how those documents are synced is not! OmniPresence is not a core part of our apps or business, and in 2019 there are lots of great alternatives. We’re not trying to drive people away from using OmniPresence-but in 2019 we don’t think it makes sense to push people towards it either. Instead, it will present itself on iOS much like it does on Mac-as a folder of synced documents. In fact, it might be the least privileged option: since OmniPresence isn’t its own separate app, it won’t be listed in the document browser’s sidebar where you find your other document storage solutions.
Syncing through OmniPresence will still be an option, but it will no longer be the only integrated option. Using Apple’s browser, you’ll be able to store and sync your documents using Apple’s built-in iCloud Drive, or third-party commercial options like Box-or even in cloud- or self-hosted collaborative git repositories using Working Copy. Instead of seeing our custom file browser, you’ll be presented with the standard iOS document browser-just like in Apple’s own iWork apps. In 2019, we think it’s time to retire our custom document browser in favor of using Apple’s built-in document browser-and with our iOS 13 updates this fall we’ll be doing just that.
