One thing that most iOS users can agree on is the fact that iTunes needs to improve a lot for it to be considered perfect. Due to limitations that have been put in place by Apple it can get frustrating for iPhone and iPad users to transfer files from their Mac to their iOS device. The problem is that there’s no single app that can help users when it comes to transferring every type of files between their iPhone or iPad and Mac. Users have to deal with multiple apps and interfaces depending on the file type at hand while transferring files to their devices.
For example, in order to transfer photos you need to use macOS’s Photos app, whereas to transfer books you have to go through iTunes. Then if you want to transfer PDF files you have to go through iCloud Drive. All this can not only get frustrating for pro users but it can also become overwhelming for new iOS users. If you want to transfer certain types of video files you have to make sure you have an app like VLC installed on your iOS device and then use iTunes file sharing to transfer files.
iMazing’s new Quick Transfer feature solves these problems by enabling users to transfer files to their iPhone, iPad and iPod touch with ease. With this new feature you will be able to transfer different types of files from your computer to your iPhone or iPad by simply dragging and dropping them on the app. iMazing Quick Transfer has a super useful feature that detects the file’s format and shows a list of compatible iOS apps that are installed on user’s iOS device.
For example, if you have multiple apps on your device with support for PDF files, you will be presented with all the apps that can open PDF files for you. You can then choose your preferred app. iMazing Quick Transfer will then automatically transfer your file to the iOS device and save it in your selected app.
If no compatible apps are found, iMazing will show you the ‘Best apps for content’, suggesting the iOS apps that you can install in order to access the chosen content on your iPhone or iPad.
iMazing Quick Transfer eliminates the need of iTunes sync, iCloud or other apps. The best thing is you can do all this wirelessly and without paying a dime as the feature is available to users for free.
