Hello there! I'm an expert in digital technology and I'm here to help you navigate your way around your iPhone's file system. Let's dive into how you can view files on your iPhone, especially with iOS 11 or later versions.

First and foremost, it's important to understand that the iPhone operates on a different file system compared to traditional computers, which means you won't find a traditional file explorer like you would on a Windows PC or a Mac. However, with iOS 11 and later, Apple introduced the Files app, which provides a more centralized way to access and manage files across various services and apps on your device.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you see the files on your iPhone:

1. **Download and Set Up the Third-Party Cloud App**: If you're using cloud storage services like Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive, you'll need to download their respective apps from the App Store. Once installed, sign in to your account to set up the service.


2. Open the Files App: Locate the Files app on your iPhone. It's an app that comes pre-installed with iOS 11 and later. Tap on it to open.


3. Access Locations: Within the Files app, you'll see a section called "Locations." This is where you can add and manage different locations where your files are stored.


4. Edit Locations: Tap on the "Locations" section, and then tap on "Edit" in the top right corner. This will allow you to customize which locations appear in your Files app.


5. Enable Third-Party Apps: You'll see a list of apps and services that can integrate with the Files app. Slide the toggle to the right to enable the third-party cloud apps that you've set up.


6. Save Your Changes: After you've enabled the apps you want to use, tap "Done" in the top right corner. This will save your changes and update the Files app to include these locations.

7.
Browse and Manage Your Files: Now that you've set up your locations, you can browse and manage your files. The Files app organizes files into different categories, such as "On My iPhone," "iCloud Drive," and the third-party locations you've added.

8.
Interact with Files: You can tap on a file to open it, and depending on the file type, it will open in the appropriate app. You can also perform actions like moving, copying, or deleting files directly from the Files app.

9.
Search for Files: The Files app also has a search function, which allows you to quickly find files by typing in the name or a keyword.

10.
Access Recently Deleted: If you've deleted a file and need to recover it, you can go to the "Recently Deleted" folder within the Files app. Files stay here for 30 days before they are permanently deleted.

Remember, the Files app is a powerful tool that not only lets you view and manage files on your iPhone but also integrates with various cloud services and apps, making it a central hub for all your file-related tasks.

Now, let's move on to the Chinese translation of the guide.
