Hey again! Just wanted to close the loop here and let y’all know that this has since been fixed as of 82.2, which has been available for a couple weeks. We do have a few additional fixes in the works, and those will likely roll out in the few releases as well.
Thanks everyone for your patience!

Hey folks! iOS Engineer on the Files.app here.
We've unfortunately also noticed this on iOS 11.2. We're currently working on a fix, but in the meantime you should be able to get things back to normal by rebooting the device once by the standard method of just holding the power button, swiping to power off and turning the device back on (or, for iPhone X users to hold the volume up button and the right side button until the options show up!)
This should be fixed in a future release. In the meantime, we've noticed a lot of Files-related issues to be fixed in 11.2, so you should have a smoother experience overall after this first initial hiccup. Apologies for the inconvenience!

Hey folks! I wanted to give a progress update on this here.
First and foremost thank you all for your patience while we continue to debug the issue. We have identified a fix and it should be out to everyone very soon.
For those who are experiencing this issue in the meantime, the only workaround is to restart the device. We find that this bug most commonly occurs when upgrading iOS to 11.2.x from 11.1 or 11.0, or in very rare situations when upgrading from release to release.
Once again, I personally apologize for the time it's taken to resolve this as it's been pretty tough to pin down and reproduce. I'll make sure to bump this thread again when it's on the store!
