transfer file from PC to iphone without using itunes

I'm sure I have not posted to the correct community but none of those listed seem relevant, so, sorry, Home Sharing, you get it!


I'm using Win 10 and do not have itunes installed on my PC.


I must have done this binary file transfer in the past because there is an old copy of the file, and its supporting app., on my iphone 6. I now need to update that binary file .However following the generic instructions from Apple (and many others following a Google search) makes no sense to me. The steps are as follows:


Connect your iPod touch, iPhone, or iPad to your computer and select your device.


Select my device? How? Where?


Click Apps


There is nothing that I can see on my PC called 'apps' - anywhere


Below File Sharing, select an app from the list, and click Add.

Huh?


In other words the instructions are completely useless. How is this simple transfer done?.

iPhone 6, Windows 10

OK, hope this helps...

I have Google as my default search engine on my Windows computer Internet Explorer. On your computer open IE (or any browser), enter "shareit" on the Google search field and the first result should say "shareit.lenovo.com". Open it and you should be able to download the SHAREit App to any Windows computer, not just Lenovos. Then on your Apple devices go to the App Store, search for "shareit" and likewise the first item is the App. Below is the Mac page (showed as the 3rd link on Chrome). The Windows page looks the same.


I tried the above this morning and still works.... Good luck.
