I know that there is a way of creating folders, Though, does anyone know how to convert an existing file into a folder, or indeed whether this can be achieved in iOS?
Thank you,
Stuart Norfolk
You swipe right on the existing file and then choose More. Then you choose “Convert to Folder”, the next to bottom option.
To do it the other way round, swipe right on a folder and choose More. Then choose “Convert to File” 
Cheers

I’m sorry, but are we talking about the iOS version? In the iOS version for my iPad I don’t get anything if I swipe right.
If I swipe ‘left’ I get the ‘More’ option but it doesn’t list ‘Convert to file’. The last item on the list is ‘Move to Trash’.
If I swipe on a document in the Binder, from rigt to left (swipe left) I get the options More and Move. If I tap on More I get a list of choices, including Convert to folder.
Could it be you’re talking about the Mac version of Scrivener? I’m only asking this because I don’t have a Mac version in front of me right now.
I think that maybe the file has to be created as a folder in order to get these options? I don’t know.

Nope.
I tested it right now on my iPad. If I left-swipe on a folder I get More and the choice to convert to file.
Maybe you could take a screenshot? Show us?
Are they located in the Draft section of the Binder or in Research?
If I look at e.g. pdf’s in the Research section I get your view, because they are neither Documents nor Folders, but something else.
Ah, thank you. They’re in the ‘Research’ section. Now if I carry out the same action on a file in the Draft section I get the option, phew! Thank you for persisting.

I am a persistent type of being… 
Actually, Lunk, just so you know, you can create and convert folders to files and back again outside of the draft folder by clicking the folder plus icon bottom left of the bar.
Then the option appears in the drop down menu of the More section.
It can be done in the Inspector as well, but I don’t think you can change a pdf file to Folder.
