I very stupidly moved a batch of iPhone DNG photo files from a family shoot to my Windows PC, and now I'm unable to get them back onto the phone.
I've tried iCloud for Windows, no luck. I've tried uploading them to iCloud Photos directly, no luck - only jpeg uploads allowed.
Any suggestions? I'm desperate.
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14
SOLVED. I uploaded the photos from my Windows PC to a Google Photos folder. I then installed Google Photos on my iPhone and iPad and it let me easily download the DNG files to Photos on the Apple devices. SO MUCH EASIER than Apple's intrusive sync system with its fussy requirements. IOS has some wonderful features, but file management isn't one of them. I spent 3-4 hours on this. In Windows I'd have had the files transferred to another device in minutes.
