How to transfer files from iPhone to computer All you need is our free Documents app and a connected Wi-Fi network. Wi-Fi Transfer is the easiest way to transfer files and photos from a computer to your iPhone or iPad and vice versa. Sounds like magic, right? Kind of, but we call it technology. Imagine you can pair your computer and iPhone within seconds and transfer anything you desire. It's especially irksome when it comes to big files like the new season of your favorite TV show, photo albums and so on. Transferring files between PC and iOS devices has always been the devil's errand.
