In fact thinking of this, Can you not now do this through the files app on the iPhone or IOS 12?

Don’t tare your hair out. The solution is easy. First and foremost, you want to put Filebrowser on your iPhone. The free version is what you want. Now, you need to give it access to your Mac. You will use your Mac’s user name and Mac password for this. Once they are joined together, you need to do this. 1. Focus on the file you want to bring over. 2. Click the share sheet. You will notice an item that says copy to files. Do this. You will be asked for a location. Choose iCloud drive. 3. Now, open the Files app and from there, open your iCloud drive. 4. Now, focus on and double tap the file you want to have an effect on. 5. Now, inside the share sheet, you should notice an item that says “copy to File Browser”. This is what you want. 6. Now, at this point, you can choose any location that you have allowed File browser to have access to including your Mac and any folder or drive on it. Choose your preferred location and copy it. You will see a progress bar informing you how much has copied over and when it’s done. 7. Now, go to your Mac and press shift+command+i to open iCloud drive. You should find your file there. From that point, you can move it wherever you want. HTH.

On my Ipad mini 4 i have saved a word file in google drive. I want to move thisor copy it to dropbox or something more accessible so i can open it on my mac. I can’t oen it in pages since i have google docs installed on my ipad mini 4. And when i double tap the file i opens up in google docs which is not that great for editing. So is it possible to for eample use google drive on the mac to import it to pages or something like that or copy it via the ipad? I tried to find more actions but the only actions you can do on google drive is activate and something like press and drag object.
