      No, it is not really correct. You can transfer files to and from any iPhone / iPad to your computer simply by using iTunes, you can also do this wirelessly with iTunes (on any computer).
      You can also use Airdrop to transfer wirelessly to another device (though this is limited to Apple devices)
      So you are gettIng all worked up over nothing, for a device you don’t own.

          Not airdrop as such, but there are a million alternatives that work the same that are cross compatible

          @Salmando:

          Wrong, you can Airdrop from iPhone to iPhone, iPhone to iPad, and iPhone to Mac, and vice versa.

        (on any computer)

        Not quite, you can only do this on computers running Windows or Ios. There is no version of Itunes for Linux or Android or any other operating systems.

        I find it quite annoying that I have to keep Windows on one of my PCs, just so I can purchase music. Yes there are other music stores available, but Itunes is still the most comprehensive.

        • no not me on 12/01/2018 - 00:29

          Whoa, settle down there. You could use libimobiledevice on Linux /s

          I mean, someone could probably build something to interface with the Documents directory exposed to iTunes, but it probably would require a lot more work than building these other third party apps.

          @no not me:
          I think the point is that Apple reject standard ways of doing things, and substitute their own way. And often the Apple way is less useful than the standard way. For instance, they are currently trying to design their own non-standard method of wireless charging so you can't wirelessly quick-charge Apple phones unless you have a genuine Apple charger.

          Apple would probably sell much more music if they made a version of Itunes for Android. But they won't, despite there being far more Android devices than Ios devices. They also won't consider letting customers use a web browser to purchase music from the Apple store.

          @Russ: yeah Apple do some weird stuff. At the same time, so do Google and Microsoft. Especially the likes of Google with WebKit, which was cooperative effort by Apple and Google. Eventually Google started to diverge away from standards and forked to the Blink rendering engine. All these companies do these really shitty things. Both Apple and Google not building Windows Phone compatible apps contributed to the loss of that entire platform, which is a bad thing for consumers.

          FWIW, the likes of the App Store isn’t a big cash cow for Apple, not google. Actually, google ran the play store at a loss for several years. Apple makes pretty dismal profits when you consider the amount of revenue running through it (several billion $). It’s possible that iTunes is similar in that respect.

          Are Apple not sticking with Qi charging – they’ve used it in the 8 and X, it would seem pretty unlike them to switch after a short time like that. The only thing I can find is AirPower by Apple which allows multiple device charging on the one mat, following the Qi spec. Despite this being possibly limited to only Apple devices, Apple devices can still use normal Qi chargers. If anything this is bad for Apple in that non-Apple users won’t buy an accessory that does what others apparently don’t yet do.

          The entire software industry is littered with proprietary nonsense and weird differences. From file system to line endings, it’s just a big mess.

        • Russ on 12/01/2018 - 03:40

          @no not me:

          Are Apple not sticking with Qi charging

          Apple currently supports Qi charging of iphones at 5W, and it is rumoured that Ios 11.2 will increase that to 7.5W. But the current Qi standard allows up to 15W.

          But Apple has also used Qi charging in a non-compatible way for the Apple watch: "Apple … has been using an off-shoot of the Qi technology in the Apple Watch prior to the Series 3, albeit made proprietary by MFi-based authentication."
          From http://appleinsider.com/articles/17/09/14/apple-airpower-cha…

          And they are apparently going to charge US$200 for their charging plate, when a comparable device is already available for 1/5th of that price:

      • tebbybabes on 12/01/2018 - 01:37

        Well thank you for setting me straight then.

        The main reason I'm so incredulous is the way the blurb was written, it's made out to be so convoluted if you tried it without the app in question.

        Also, while I no longer own any iOS devices, I recall an incident maybe 4 years ago when my wife desperately needed a copy of a photo that she had on her phone to be on her computer. Suffice to say I, the poor hubby, had to jump through hoops to get it done for a number of inane reasons. I still recall wanting to tear my hair out that something so simple could be so impossible.

          So you just emailed the pic to yourself in its original state, and opened it up on your computer? Right? ;)

        • tebbybabes on 12/01/2018 - 10:19

          @supafly:
          That's the first thing I told her to do. I no longer recall why but for some reason or the other that path was not
          succeeding.

          In the end, I had to:
          -Install iTunes because she never had a computer with iTunes before.
          -And then iTunes wanted to update her phone.
          -Then the update took hours and then and kept failing.
          -Then it gave us a message that there wasn't enough space to do the update. So we tried to pare down everything on her phone.
          -Then I discovered that after every attempt, some folder called 'other' just kept ballooning in size further reducing the available space.

          I can't even remember how we managed it in the end. I can only remember the s**t that we had to do.

          Come to think of it, I'm not completely sure, but I think the reason we couldn't just email it was because it saying that it needed an update to do it!!!

      Some Android devices are crippled too, they won't let you transfer any files over Bluetooth unless they are photos. I have a couple of tablets like this, trying to send other types of file results in "file transfer failed". I believe it can be fixed with a third-party app, but I haven't really looked.

      • Salmando on 12/01/2018 - 00:57

        Sounds terrible. If possible please reply with brand. I like to avoid brands that make such idiotic mistakes.

          One is a Pendo Pad, the other was bought from China. Neither has Google Play, so I think that means they are "non-official" Android devices. Recent Pendo Pads have Google Play, so they may have working Bluetooth.

    The converting of HEVC files is handy

  • Boodek on 11/01/2018 - 22:25

    "Very good app to transfer files between iPhone, iPad and computer."

    When you say files, do you just mean photos and videos (Airdrop?) or other formats as well?

    • no not me on 12/01/2018 - 00:31

      Airdrop isn't an option for those on Windows, GNU+Linux or FreeBSD systems.

      • Salmando on 12/01/2018 - 00:59

        Which is one of the reasons I hate Apple, as the technology behind it is very simple, and shouldn't exclude other devices simply because they aren't Apple.
        There are plenty of apps on iPhone that will do it though

        • no not me on 12/01/2018 - 01:59

          Eh. AirDrop I can kind of understand. It works in a weird way by acknowledging each other via Bluetooth then sending the files via some kind of wifi thing. So you’d have to have specific hardware for it to work. They could have added Bluetooth file transfer support as an option, but airdrop is so much faster.

      • Boodek on 12/01/2018 - 10:02

        Airdrop distraction aside, my question was is this only for photos and videos, or can other formats be transferred?

        • no not me on 12/01/2018 - 10:57

          Looks like arbitrary files. However, it also has a $7.99 in-app purchase for the "PRO" version.

      This may work well when you have unlimited internet access but transferring files to IOS devices is a problem when there is no internet or limited internet.

      We recently had the problem of trying to transfer photos and pdf files from a window laptop to either a iPhone or Ipad when there wasnt internet access.
      With an android you can just use a usb cable to copy or even put the sd card from the android device into the windows device and copy to that.
      We tried everything but we couldnt get the photos or pdf onto the iphone or the ipad.
      Surely there should be some other way to copy photos to an apple device rather than going onto the windows devoce and emailing the photos then downloading the photos then saving to the iphone.

I have a very old iPhone that is going to die soon and I needed something to get the photos off because the normal stuff wasn’t working, so when I saw this was free I thought I would try it AND AWESOME!! Got all the photos off quickly, easily. Saved me heaps of time and effort. Even if I never use it again, it did what I needed right now!! Thanks again OP!!

    I do want to make it clear that all the other solutions didnt work on this old iPhone. Not One Drive, not iCloud, not google photos, nor any of the other 12 solutions I tried. I couldn’t even plug the phone into my computer to get the photos off (long story). But this did work a treat.
