I’m pretty sure most people are looking for an easy method to transfer their files from PC to iPhone and from iPhone to PC but since the beginning of iPhone 2G the only method that Apple offered to transfer files between iPhone and PC is iTunes. Which I believe is a very cumbersome method especially if you want to transfer only one or two files.

In the last couple of years, I tried various methods to transfer files between PC and iPhone. Some of them are much better and easy to use than iTunes but at the same time, they required additional software to install on PC. But I found an easy and quick method to transfer files between iPhone and PC that I want to share with you.

As we know since the launch of iOS 12 Apple gave their users so much freedom to run different type of file format on their iPhone by giving the option of files app. But the problem with files app you can only access files from one drive or by using iTunes. Thankfully, I found an easy and quick method to transfer files between PC and iPhone via the Wi-Fi network. All you have to do is to connect your iPhone and your PC on same Wi-Fi network so you can access them wirelessly. The name of the app is Air Transfer.

  4. You will see a small wi-fi symbol at the bottom of the display. Click on it and you will find an IP Address)
  5. Next, copy that IP Address and paste it on your computer browser.
  6. A page will load where you can drag and drop any file. Simply Drag the file from your computer and drop it on drag files area and it will automatically appear on your iPhone app.
