Local files won't sync (or even show up?)

[JonnyRider]

Hello!

How do I get local files to sync to my iPhone spotify?

Most topics on here suggest that the files will show up "greyed out" on the phone.

This doesn't happen for me. The files, or tracks, do not show up at all.

So how do I go about it?

i had this same problem after upgrading my laptop's hard drive and getting all of my music files messed up. it took me a pretty long time to figure out, but i finally found a solution:

1. Open Spotify on both your PC/laptop and your phone
2. make sure that your local files are in a playlist and downloaded for offline play
3. on your iphone, go to Library
4. tap the little Edit on the top right
5. there should be arrow icons on the right side of your playlist(s), tap the arrow and make it green. If you have your playlists inside another folder, open that folder first before tapping on Edit.
6. tap Done

All of your local file songs should be downloaded as normal. It works on my iphone 6, so i hope this helps you too!
