Access Iphone files from Ipad Hello! I have just found out that I can charge my phone from my Ipad using the usb-c to lightning cable. I thought then to myself “well look, now I should be able to transfer files from one device to the other.” But for some reason I am not able to access either’s files (unless I use the Icloud Cloud-based space). I thought this strange since I use my Ipad as my personal computer. Is it possible to look on the Iphone’s files with an Ipad, like one does with a computer? I suppose I expect something like this because Apple is so good at compatibility. -K

Photo, video transfers from iPhone XS to Win 11 desktop unsuccessful. Connected phone to desktop using the iPhone lightning-USB cable, created a folder on desktop and nominated it to receive the data. Is a total of about 2600 items on iPhone. Seemed to go well until a series of messages inviting to skip because it couldn't be done. In the end, 1,745 items were transferred. I now have a mess. It's too hard to sift through them all to figure out what is missing, so I want to do the whole thing again. Is there another way to do it please. I don't want to use my bandwidth to do it because it will use too much data; I just want to transfer via cable from iPhone to desktop.

no, ios devices don't support wired connection with each other to transfer files.
