# default

A property that returns the shared file provider manager object.

## Declaration

```swift
class var `default`: NSFileProviderManager { get }
```

## Discussion

Discussion This property returns a manager for the default domain on iOS. You can access the default domain in both the containing app and the File Provider extension. On macOS, use an explicit domain by calling init(for:) instead.
