File sharing

File Sharing lets you transfer les with a USB cable between iPhone and your computer, using

iTunes. You can share les created with a compatible app and saved in a supported format.

Apps that support le sharing appear in the File Sharing Apps list in iTunes. For each app, the Files

list shows the documents that are on iPhone. See the app’s documentation for information about

how it shares les; not all apps support this feature.

Sharing section, select an app from the list. On the right, select the le you want to transfer, then

click “Save to.”

Sharing section, select an app, then click Add. The le is immediately transferred to your device for

use with the app you selected.
