It’s been happening for a long time. I never really paid much attention, but when I am away from the computer, and the iPhone has a pile I would like, it’s irritating to not find it updated. There are several piles that should be showing up as recent, since many of them are updated on a daily basis. For example, my most recent updated file is dated January 20 of this year. And today is February 20 no February 21.

If it's brand new, then it may take a while for everything to move up to iCloud then be visible to the iPhone. If it's not a brand new thing, I have seen it take a while for the iPhone to see updates or changes to files. Not a real long time, maybe 5 minutes or so. The only way I know to refresh things, would be to either turn off iCloud Drive on the iPhone, then back out of Settings, wait a minute or two then re-enable it. I don't recommend that approach. Alternatively, you could close the Files app from the app switcher, then upon re-opening it, it would do a poll of the existing iCloud Drive data. Again, this should only be necessary if you've been syncing iCloud Drive for a long time and this is just happening lately. Finally, of course, there's always the good old restart of the iPhone that likes to fix all sorts of unknown issues. HTH. Later...

If there something I need to do on my own to refresh these files, or a setting that I need to enable so that they refresh automatically?
