How can I copy files from Iphone to Mac with cable

I want to connect my Iphone to my macbook pro to get some files I downloaded with safari.


When I connect my phone to my macbook and go to finder to see files in my iphone it doesn’t show download folder in my iphone. It only shows some app names and files these apps store.


I want to download files with safari and then move them to my macbook. I dont want to store file on icloud. How can I do that? Files are so large so airdrop is slow for me I need cable connection.

iPhone XS Max

You can always email them to yourself(?)


You can use Airdrop, if both machine meet the tech spec.

" Files are so large so airdrop is slow for me I need cable connection— large should not be an issue..?"



Use AirDrop on your Mac - Apple Support



Use iTunes to share files between your computer and your iOS..
