Evertag uses only official SDK and secure connections to interact with connected cloud services. Your login and password are not available for the application. All requests from the application to the cloud service are encrypted.
When you enter login and password the application shows you the official authorization page that is provided by the cloud service provider and all authorization process is made outside the application. The cloud service provider sends an auth-token to the application after successful authorization and that token is used to make API calls.

Auth-token is a digital key that allows third-party applications to interact with cloud storage. Auth-token is stored on your device in secure system storage called Keychain. You can download your files from the connected cloud service to the device and those files will be placed in the app “Documents” directory. You can remove that files anytime using the built-in file manager.
The application does not share any information from the connected cloud account. You can revoke access to your cloud account anytime by opening the account settings page on your web browser.

To reject auth-token login to your account on the web browser and navigate to the settings page. There you can find all third-party apps which are connected to your cloud account and remove any of them if you don’t want to use that application anymore.

You can also disconnect the connected cloud accounts in the application and auth-token will be also removed from your device. If you remove the application from your device all downloaded data and access tokens will be also removed.

Once you’ve installed the application, open the “Local Files” screen and scroll down to the “Files on this iPhone” section.
From there, choose “Open files…” if you need to select several audio files or “Open folder…” if you want to pick a music folder.
The app will scan the folder’s content, and all found audio files will be selected.
Navigate to your music folder, tap “Open” to confirm your selection, and the files will be added to the tags editor.
These files will be edited directly from the selected location without being copied to the application bundle.

Adding a Device Folder for Quick Access
Simplify the process by adding a folder located on your device to your quick access section.
This way, you won’t need to repeat the steps every time you want to edit tags for the files in the music folder.
Open the “Local files” screen.
Scroll down to the “Files on htis device” section and tap “Connect a folder”.
Select a folder located on your device and tap “Open” to confirm selection.
Your folder will be added to “Files on this iPhone” section providing quick access to your audio files.

You can add embedded lyrics to your tracks in the Evertag app by following these steps:

• Start editing an audio file by tapping on it.
  
• Tap “Show extended tags” to switch the tag editor to advanced mode.
  
• Scroll down to the “Lyrics unsynced” section and tap the text field.
  
• Tap the “Add new page” menu item.
  
• In the “Language” section, select the lyrics language or leave it blank to use English by default.
  
• In the “Text” section, enter your lyrics in plain text or LRC format with timecodes. An example is shown on the screen. You can also find LRC-formatted lyrics at lyricsify.com
  
• Tap “Done” to confirm the changes both on the current screen and the Lyrics Edit screen.

Before you can download audio files and edit audio tags, you need to connect a cloud storage service.
Open the “Connections” screen and add your cloud storage provider.
Once added, you can begin downloading files to the app.

To download files from the cloud:
– Open the connected cloud storage service.
– Navigate to the folder you want to download.
– Tap the “More actions” button ("…") in the top right corner and select the “Select” menu item.
– Choose the files or folders you want to download and tap on the “Download” action.

If your music library is stored in the cloud, you can connect the most popular cloud services directly in the app:
Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, MEGA, Yandex.Disk, MediaFire, pCloud, HiDrive.

You can browse and manage your files using the built-in file manager. The app supports all basic file operations like rename, delete, move, and more.

You can also edit audio files stored locally on your device using the open-in-place feature. No need to copy them from other apps — simply open and edit them directly.

Once you finish editing the metadata, tap the “Save” button in the top right corner to apply the changes to the selected files.

If you’re editing a file stored in the cloud, the app gives you several options for updating the file’s metadata. These behaviors can be customized in the settings:

• Show confirmation message – When enabled, the app will prompt you with a confirmation message before updating the file on the cloud.
• Automatically update file’s metadata – When enabled, the app will apply the changes to the cloud file right after saving.
• Do not update file’s metadata – When enabled, the app will skip updating the cloud file’s metadata after editing.

You can find and modify these options in the Evertag settings under the metadata update preferences section.

To connect a cloud service, open the “Connections” tab → select the “Connect to cloud storage” menu item → choose a cloud storage service from the list → enter your credentials and tap “Done”.

If you encounter issues, make sure your Internet connection is active and double-check your login and password.

Currently supported services include: Dropbox, OneDrive, Box, MEGA, Yandex.Disk, Media Fire, PCloud, and HiDrive.

In the Premium version of the app, you can add an unlimited number of cloud accounts.

If you need to edit several files located on your cloud storage, activate select mode by tapping the “…” button in the top right corner.

Once activated, checkboxes will appear next to each file. You can then perform actions on individual files or select multiple files to apply bulk actions.

Available actions for selected files:
• Download – Download a file or folder from cloud storage to the “Local Files” section.
• Move – Move a file or folder to a different folder within the cloud storage.
• Rename – Rename a file or folder on the remote storage.
• Delete – Permanently delete a file or folder from the cloud storage.
• Sort – Sort files by name, size, or date edited.
• Grid/List – Switch between table view and thumbnail view modes.

If there isn’t enough space to display all options, a “More actions” button will appear. Tap it to access the full list of available actions.

With “batch mode”, you can edit multiple files at once and apply shared metadata changes quickly and efficiently.

To activate batch mode:
• Scroll to the bottom of the screen.
• Tap the “Edit several files simultaneously” button.

This mode is especially useful when you need to apply the same album name, artist, genre, or other metadata fields across multiple audio files.
