USB File Transfer. If you want to transfer files from an iPhone to a PC or Mac, you can do so using a USB cable. Simply use the charging cable you use to charge your iPhone to connect to a free USB port on your computer. Then you can retrieve the files on your iPhone using Finder on Mac, or File Explorer on Windows.
You can only use AirDrop to send files to other Apple devices. You cannot use AirDrop to send files to Android devices or Windows computers. Make sure the feature is on and ready for sharing. To do that, go into Settings, tap on General and select Airdrop. Then, check either Contacts only or Everyone.
Alternatively, you can open a file from within the Files app on your iPhone. It has an icon that resembles a blue folder.
If you do not see a list of devices you can send to, make sure all users have Bluetooth turned on and are near each other. Also, check your AirDrop permissions in the Control Center to make sure you are able to receive files from the other device.
If you can’t find the file on your iPhone, tap iCloud Drive in the main menu of the Files app and check to make sure it isn’t already uploaded to your iCloud storage.
If you are on a Mac and you are signed in with your Apple ID, you can simply click the iCloud folder in the Finder. On Windows PC, you can download the iCloud app from the Microsoft Store. This allows you to browse your iCloud storage inside File Explorer.
Photos and videos are most likely located in the “DCIM” folder.
If you are using Google Drive, you can sign in using your Gmail account. If you are using OneDrive, you can sign in using your Microsoft account.
Google Drive: https://drive. google. com/ Dropbox: https://www. dropbox. com/ OneDrive: https://onedrive. live. com/
Alternatively, you can right-click the file on a PC or Mac to display a context menu.
Most email services limit the size of the file you can send. You should send an attachment that is more than 25 MB large.
