Just like any other file in any other app, you can use the native share menu in yhe files app for example. [https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002430653-How-do-I-import-files-from-third-party-apps-into-Shapr3D-](https://support.shapr3d.com/hc/en-us/articles/115002430653-How-do-I-import-files-from-third-party-apps-into-Shapr3D-)

The other way is to tap on the import button in your workspace, and open the file from there.  
Another option is to create a new workspace, there you have two options: new design, or create new desing from imported file.
