Apple iPhone users often encounter a problem in the process of using mobile phones, which is the lack of a simple way to transfer files between mobile phones and computers. For example, if you want to back up photos taken with your iPhone to your computer's hard drive, or you want to transfer movies and TV series downloaded from your computer to the iPhone to watch, you can usually only use third-party software such as WeChat and QQ. Although the data cable can also be used to realize the transmission of photos and videos, it is also more troublesome to use.
In fact, in the latest iOS 13 system, Apple has brought a very powerful "file" APP to users. With this function, files and data such as photos and videos can be transferred between mobile phones and computers via wireless LAN. Let me teach you the following editor!
Step 1: Create a shared folder
on the computer side. Since the function introduced to you this time is to transfer the bureau through the local area network, first of all, make sure that the iPhone and the computer are in the same WiFi network. Then open any hard disk of the computer, and create a new folder, named "Apple Sharing" (you can just give it a name).
then right-click to open the properties of the "Apple Sharing" folder, select "Share" in the upper tab, and then click the "Share" button.
Since you must enter the user name and password to access the Windows shared folder from the iPhone, then select a user for the shared folder, where you can directly select the "owner" of the computer. Then click the "Share" button.
Here, the shared folder on the computer is created.
Step 2: Determine the computer IP address
To transfer files from the iPhone to the computer, you must know the computer's IP address. The method is also very simple: press the "Win+R" shortcut on the computer desktop:
and then enter "CMD" in the pop-up window options, and click OK.
Then enter "ipconfig" in the black command prompt window that pops up. The place circled in the red box is the IP address of this computer. For example, the IP address of my computer is "192.168.31.122".
Step 3: Connect the iPhone to the shared folder
and then find the "File" APP that comes with the iOS 13 system in the iPhone, and click the "three dots" in the upper right corner, and then select "Connect to Server" in the pop-up options .
Then in the "Server" column of the "Connect to Server" interface, fill in the previously determined computer IP address in the prescribed format, for example: "smb://192.168.31.122", and then select "Connect".
then select "registered user" in the next interface, and fill in the computer owner's login name and password. Under normal circumstances, you will see the "Apple Shared" folder previously set on the computer in the next interface.
Step 4: Transfer files
After the iPhone is connected to the shared folder of the computer, you can find the photo or video that needs to be transferred to the computer in the "Photos" APP of the phone, and then press and hold the photo or video until the option menu pops up:
Now select "Share" in the menu, then pull to the bottom of the sharing interface and select "Save to file".
Then in the file options, find the IP address of the computer you just connected (192.168.31.122), then select the pop-up "Apple Shared" folder, and click "Storage" in the upper right corner. After a while, the transferred photos or videos will appear in the "Apple Sharing" folder of the "File" APP.
At the same time, you can also see the photos or video files transferred from the mobile phone in the "Apple Shared" folder on the computer.
through iOS 13 The "File" APP that comes with the system can also transfer TV shows or movies from the computer to the iPhone. Just save the computer’s video file in the "Apple Sharing" folder, then use the phone’s "File" APP to access the "Apple Folder", and then copy-paste the video file into "My iPhone" in the "File" APP That's it. If it is a photo, you can also directly select "Share" to the phone's album.
Of course, if the wireless network speed of the local area network is fast enough, it is also possible to directly open and watch the video in the shared folder, which can save the storage space of the phone.
Generally speaking, the operation of establishing a shared folder with the computer through the "File" APP that comes with the iOS 13 system of the Apple iPhone is a bit complicated, but after setting it up, it is very convenient for the two to transfer file data to each other. This function It is also very suitable for netizens who often need to transfer large files between mobile phones and computers.
