It is not possible to directly transfer photos from iPhone to Toshiba canvio basics 2 TB hard drive.

The Toshiba Canvio Basics 2 TB hard drive does not have any 'software' that should make transferring possible.

If the iPhone has an Apple Lightning connection port, you can use a SanDisk iXpand flash drive to use as an external hard drive. They are available in various sizes.

You can also use that iXpand flash drive as a tool to save the photos to a real external hard drive afterwards.

iXpand Flash Drive are available at Apple Store and at Apple Authorized Service Providers.

iXpand flash drive app can be downloaded from the App Store.
