G’day,
On my Android phone I can connect to my computer via usb and transfer whole folders of files between my phone and computer simply and easily. Is this possible on the iphone?
One obvious option would be to use idrive for the transfer but my folder directory is too large (30 odd GB).
thanks
Thanks for the reply, though the solution isn’t quite what I’m after.
I have multiple files contained within a complete tree of folders to keep them organised. It is that folder structure and the files within that I’m wanting to store on my iPhone.
From what I can see with iTunes you can only share individual files to specific applications on the iPhone which means you loose the folder structure. This also becomes very difficult to do manual backups to a computer or external hard drive.
