    Thank you so much!!! I've been looking all over for this. It's been soooo frustrating not having the Airdrop feature after transferring over to PC, and having a limit of 1000GB internet/mo doesn't help when my iPhone videos tend to get up to 20GB+ files recording at 4K doing 1 hour long+ sessions for behind the scenese things. I really need that extra real estate to punch/scale into my videos and such. Creating lots of videos a day and using apps that require internet to transfer doesn't help, but this video is a game changer! Saves me a ton on the monthly internet usage. Again, thank you so so much!!!

I used the photo app for me because it organizes my stuff for me.

      Must use data connection cable, not power cable or dual. data cable is less than 2.4 amps. signal interference caused by power cable disrupts the data transfer when the laptop reads the digital signal from the analog signal of the cable. if the iphone charges when plugged into the computer, it is the wrong cable.

    But how can I copy all the photos and videos? Not just a single ☝️

      You can't, not this way at least. You have to do it file after file.

    I am trying to transfer 4K videos (larger files) shot from my iPhone XR. It’s just not doing so. Shows some kind or error on every large video.

      Artem Panchenko I had bought an HP laptop. I tried thousand times with iPhone 11. I did what he taught in the video but it works with only one picture (as he showed and I don’t believe he can do with more pics). The thing is: Apple is compatible with Apple ONLY. The real truth. Period. And I gave back the laptop...
