Using cloud storage to upload photos to your Apple device

Each service has its own applications for the iOS operating system, which are aimed at simplifying the work with photos and videos that are stored in the cloud.

Upload photos with iCloud

Moving photos using Yandex. Disk

To work with this cloud storage you need:

1. Create an account on the official Yandex website.
2. Open Yandex. Disk in an Internet browser or download a special program to a personal computer or laptop.

3. Copy or move all necessary images to the cloud.

Using flash drives and other drives

To import photos and videos into the memory of a mobile gadget, you can use all kinds of devices - small flash drives and portable routers, which also have a storage function.

You can use a flash drive to transfer files between Apple device and PC

The flash drive must have two interfaces: for connecting to a PC and to an Apple device. For full-fledged work on iPhone and iPad, you need to download a special mobile application with which you can listen to music, watch videos and move the necessary files, including photos.

5. To transfer photos to iPhone, click on Copy From PC in the main menu and select the necessary files.

Informal ways

Using social networks as file sharing

In order to use social networks as an exchanger, you just need to upload the necessary photos to your page (not necessarily publicly, the privacy settings will help to hide information from unwanted eyes). And after that, logging into the social network from your device, download the necessary images to your phone or tablet.

Using file managers

The method works if you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with jailbreak installed, a personal computer and a cable for connecting a gadget. To work, you need a file manager, for example, iTools, but you can choose any other, the essence of this will not change. To achieve this goal, you must:

1. Connect your phone to a PC using a USB cable.
2. Enter the file manager program.
3. Go to / var / mobile / Media / DCIM / 100APPLE.
4. If, after completing the described actions, a list with photos and videos opens, then everything went right. If the program interface does not display anything, then either there are no photos or videos on the device yet, or the path is incorrect and you need to recheck everything.

5. Select the required files and copy them to the device. Upon completion of the process, all the necessary images will be the same in the iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

   

   If a jailbreak is made on a mobile device, you can access the photos on it using any file manager.

The creators of iPhone, iPad or iPod touch devices have taken care of the safety of using these gadgets - this is a big plus. However, excessive security created some inconvenience to users. You cannot simply copy files to a phone connected to a personal computer through Explorer. But fortunately, there are many ways that are intended to address this issue.
