Ways to Transfer Files from Iphone to Windows PC

Transferring files between iPhone and Windows PC is a bit of a hassle. However, you can do this using several methods. However, it is not as easy to do on Windows as on Mac. Here we will discuss several ways to share files between iPhone and Windows PC.

Using Itunes

Although it is not an easy method and many people don't like it, but it is the official way to transfer files from iPhone to Windows PC. You must first install the iTunes software on your Windows PC. You can easily do this from the Microsoft Store. Then you can follow the instructions below:

• Connect your iPhone to PC via USB.
• Now open iTunes on Windows PC and click on the iPhone button in the upper left corner.

Using iCloud

iCloud is the easiest way to transfer files between Windows PC or Mac. But you have to use internet data to transfer files through this. Normally you have to upload files to iCloud server and download them to other devices. But you will get only 5GB space in free iCloud.

• Tap on the file and long press and click on 'Copy' option.
• Now go to iCloud Drive and paste the copied file there. Uploading to iCloud will begin.
• Now you can download the file by logging in to the iCloud website or installing the iCloud app on your Windows PC.
