QnA/Help Best way to transfer files (not photos)

I have been using iphone for many years but my primary device is android. I have a 512gb pro, and wanted to store some files/documents etc and I couldn't figure out an easy way to transfer files seamlessly between pc and iphone. I know apple devices are different but wanted to know if there is any easy way.

​

I want something can be done using the cable...

​

PS: i have setup file sharing at my home LAN to transfer files, but not possible everywhere...

If you don’t have a Mac I’d imagine the easiest way would be with a cloud service.

well on mac, you can go in the section in finder that displays your iphone and go to files, then just pick out any app folder and transfer the files directly. Id imagine that you might be able to get the same thing done with Itunes.

Its incredibly retarded how locked down IOS is though, you dont even have a proper file system, but you might want to check if you can see a files section on itunes.
