Now you’re faced with one or more folders which contain all the photos and videos you’ve taken on your phone, labelled 100APPLE, 101APPLE, 102APPLE and so on.


Until you do this, it won’t show up in File Explorer.Ĭlick on Apple iPhone in File Explorer, then on the Internal Storage drive that appears and finally on the sole DCIM folder. Make sure your phone is connected via its USB cable and, as in the previous method, tap on Allow or Trust when prompted on your iPhone screen. Launch File Explorer in Windows 10 either from the Start menu or by pressing the Windows key and ‘E’ together. Well, in the case of photos and videos, you can. Many people think you can’t use an iPhone like an Android phone to drag and drop files. Once you’ve made all your choices, click Import and the photos and videos will be transferred across to your PC or laptop. There’s also a tick box you can use to delete the selected photos and videos from your iPhone to free up space. When you click the Continue button, you’re shown options to choose where to save the photos (the default is the Pictures folder) and whether you want sub-folders created for each month or every day. This option is a little frustrating as you have to scroll through the photos to find the link for each month, and it takes ages if you’re selecting (or deselecting) photos and videos manually. If you want to import everything, click that button.Īlternatively, you can click ‘Unselect all’ and then choose one or more photos (or months) to import. When the scan is finished, the total number of photos and videos will be shown along with the option to Continue. This could take a while if you have a few years’ worth on there. Your phone will be scanned for photos and videos from the Camera Roll and other albums. Click it and select which device from which to import photos (there won’t be a choice if it’s the only removable storage connected).
