Transfer of information is what we do almost everyday. From our Android phones to the computer or from one computer to another using a pendrive or hard disk. But you hardly hear or see someone transferring files from ab IOS device to the PC or vise versa. We always think windows and IOS are not compatible. But in this tutorial, you’ll find it very easy to do your transfer of files between this two. It is a simple as transferring files between an android phone and a windows PC.

Unfortunately you can only transfer files that are associated with an application on your IOS devices on your computer. It is the same with moving files to your iPhone. You will have to pick an application and associate it with that.

This means we should make sure the applications we want to use to work on these files are present on the iPhone, other than that then we will have to manually move the files wherever they are to the application’s folders in Files.

This is all for today’s post. I hope you find it helpful. Have a nice day.
