Best file storage app for iPhone

Universal · 16 Dec 2012 at 12:00

Got a a few gb of data at work I need to transfer to my computer at home. What's the best app to use so I can just plug my phone in without using iTunes? No jailbreak as I am no ios6.

Thanks

is there an app that can do this?

When I plug my phone in at work all I can see and download are the photos.

I haven't tried putting stuff in photos folder perhaps it's read only.

Give it a try at home just find your iphone in explorer then see what folders you have.

I think logmein may support file transfer, but I imagine that would be over wifi as opposed to usb.

Dropbox?

Can you use a portable HDD or flash drive?

I think you're options are limited to using WiFi to transfer the files, which might take really long if you have to transfer a few GBs.

I don't think you can do anything with an iDevice by plugging it in without iTunes because it contains the drivers to recognise those devices.

IExplorer will make your iphone into a hdd.. that should allow you to transfer the data off.

I prefer to use MobileStudio, it is the best one for transfer any file without iTunes.

Having iTunes is a system requirement for the app.

Apparently ou can use GoodReader to transfer files over WiFi. Not done it myself but my boss uses it all the time.
