Where is file sharing in iTunes 12? I used to click on the iPhone or iPad device, then select the 'apps' tab and then file sharing apps like VLC would show at the bottom. Now clicking on the device doesn't do anything.
iPhone 5, iOS 8.1
iTunes 12.7 has changed where File Sharing appears within the view of a connected device.

OK, I found it. In the upper left under the menu bar are some icons. Click on the iPhone icon, then select your device, iPad, iPhone, whatever. In the far left column that appears under your device, select apps. Then you'll see apps to the right of that column. Scroll down to the bottom and you'll find the file sharing apps.
Glad you found it. I'm afraid I still cannot
Underneath my iPad device (headed, "On My Device"), in iTunes 12, with my iPad connected, there is Music/Movies/TV Shows/Podcasts/iTunes U/Books/Audiobooks/Tones/Purchased
No Apps.
Believe me, I have apps.
So how does one file share on iTunes 12?
Apps should be above that section, under the "Settings"
It took me awhile to find this, not intuitive. After you click on "Apps" and they show up on the right hand side of the screen, click somewhere in the white space outside of the boxes that show the list of Apps and the Home Screens, then scroll down using a scroll wheel or dragging on a touch pad. The problem I had was that the scroll bar way on the far right edge wasn't visible on my monitor when I had Itunes maximized so I didn't realize that whole section could be scrolled, I was trying to scroll just within the Apps box itself, which I suspect is what others are doing as well.
Thank you SO MUCH ob1knorrb. This was driving me crazy and your explanation helped me figure it out.
Yup. This was my issue as well. Thanks!
Nope. I am not finding it in 12.4.3.1
Every time Apple updates iTunes they HIDE things. WHY?????
Try clicking the icon for the device first.
Then select Apps in the left-hand column, then scroll down in the right-hand pane. The file sharing area will appear.

As I said before, the button IS NOT THERE.
After a recent Win 10 update the button reappeared.
I do not see button on 7, do I need to update?
