  • How to copy a photo from Windows to iOS without needing Internet server

    From Marion@21:1/5 to All on Sun Apr 6 05:30:05 2025

    Apple products don't work in the real world so something as trivial as
    copying a photo from Windows to iOS is almost impossible without the net.

    In a Windows/Android thread, we've been discussing how to use screenshots
    to get past Android security, when Steve Sharf noted that iOS lacks
    Android's security so we can successfully screenshot iOS on Windows PCs.

    "Ironically, iOS doesn't have the capability for apps to restrict
    screenshots. I've used an iPhone, on at least two occasions, to do a
    screenshot of a virtual ID card that I wanted to add to my Google
    Wallet. Transferred the image from the iPhone to my Android phone."

    So the plan is to install these apps on iOS & Android to do cartooning.

    iOS "Voila"

    Android "Photo Lab"

    The main problem now is how to perform the trivial task of copying
    a photo from the Windows PC to the iOS device without using Apple's
    iTunes abomination bloatware (& insecureware), or Internet servers.

    Has anyone on this newsgroup ever copied a photo from Windows to iOS
    without having to create an account on someone's server on the net?

    Yup.

    Turn on file sharing on your Windows PC on the same LAN as your iOS
    device (Control Panel: Network & Sharing Center) and turn on Sharing for
    some folder. Make sure you have a password on your user account (local
    or Microsoft cloud-based).

    Get the IP address of your Windows PC.

    Launch the Files app on your iOS device and from the ellipsis in the top
    right, choose "Connect to Server" and enter the IP address of your PC.

    When prompted, enter your PC user ID and password.

    You're now connected to the server, and you can go straight into the
    sharing interface in the Photos app to "Export Unmodified Original" and navigate to that connected server.

    Done.
