I've tried multiple attempts at deleting playlists and adding different combinations of local files and normal spotify tracks, then downloading these on two different android devices but without success. I said yes to the update and the instant the update was complete my playlist and local file started downloading on both my Android devices. The track played successfully on both devices. After this though nothing else would sync - exactly the same behaviour as before.
I tried exiting and restarting the spotify desktop client but that didn't work. At this point I'm really dubious this feature works reliably at all given I've seen it work once which means that networking, mp3 protection, software versions and all the other potential failures in the troubleshooting don't apply.
I'm left with flaky implementation as the only remaining cause! Really want to be proved wrong but I don't know what else to try. We recommend that you delete the playlists with the local files on all devices.
You can then move your files to a different folder and add it as a source for local files in the Spotify app. You can learn how to do this here. After that you can start the whole process from the beginning. If that doesn't do the trick it's a good idea to perform a clean reinstall using these steps on all your devices.
If you want to play iTunes songs in Spotify app, you need to convert iTunes songs to MP3 before importing your playlist to Spotify. Once the DRM is gone, you can follow the steps below to put whatever iTunes playlist you like to Spotify.
Launch iTunes and open the 'Preferences' settings. Click 'OK' to save the settings. After all iTunes songs are converted to MP3, create a 'New Folder' in your computer, then copy and paste all the MP3 songs into that folder. Then you are ready to add iTunes songs into Spotify.
Scroll down until you see the 'Local Files' section. Enable the ' Show Local Files ' option. Now you should be able to see the 'New Folder' as one of the sources listed in Spotify's 'Show songs from' section. Enable the toggle switch next to 'New Folder', disable other sources. After that, all the songs from that folder should be listed in the 'Local Files' playlist in Spotify. Apart from importing iTunes playlist to Spotify manually, you can also use a free online tool to easily transfer iTunes songs to Spotify.
TunemyMusic is a free online platform that is capable of moving playlists between different music streaming services, for example, from Apple Music to Spotify, or from iTunes to Spotify or vice versa.

I have turned on the option to download via cellular network as well but I guess that doesn't matter for local files Would you mind reinstalling the app to make sure you have the latest version of Spotify? You should be able to see your local files in your IOS if you press the " " button. If you don't see it, it'd be great if you'd share a screenshot of what the Settings menu looks like for you.

In case you have lots of local songs and want to stream them all, I would suggest creating a new Playlist. Here, I already have a playlist called Local Songs where I will be adding local songs. Once you have added all the desired songs to a playlist, now we can move to the other device. Like, suppose I want to stream the same songs on my Spotify mobile, I just have to download the playlist there.
The only thing I have to take care of is that I am on the same Wi-Fi network as my laptop. Once you are connected on the same Wi-Fi network, go to the local songs playlist on the Spotify mobile app. After you have found the playlist, tap on it to open the playlist. You will see all the local songs within it but they will all be greyed. You cannot listen to them as of now. So, we have to download the playlist in order to stream those local songs.
To do that, tap the three buttons on the top right corner and tap on Download. This is just a one time process and needs to be done every time you add a new local song. Now that you have downloaded the songs, you can move on to a different network and still, you will have the playlist available. To be precise, if your download preference is set to normal, each song would take approx 2.
