Answer 1

Take into account that your app runs in a sandbox and would not be able to get any folder/file outside of that sandbox.

ObjectiveC

NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES); 
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];

NSFileManager *manager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
NSArray *fileList = [manager contentsOfDirectoryAtPath:documentsDirectory error:nil];
for (NSString *s in fileList){
    NSLog(@"%@", s);
}

Swift 4

guard let documentsDirectory =  try? FileManager().url(for: .documentDirectory, in: .userDomainMask, appropriateFor: nil, create: true) else { return }
guard let fileEnumerator = FileManager.default.enumerator(at: documentsDirectory, includingPropertiesForKeys: nil, options: FileManager.DirectoryEnumerationOptions()) else { return }
while let file = fileEnumerator.nextObject() {
    print(file)
}
