Additionally, they can utilize their iOS device (iPhone) as a USB stick by connecting it to a Mac or Windows PC using a cable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide will demonstrate efficient ways to utilize your iPhone or iPad as a flash drive for storing and transferring files. We&#8217;ll explore both wired and wireless methods for achieving this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within iOS, there exist apps with the potential to store files accessible via Finder on a Mac or iTunes on a Windows PC (and on a Mac running <a href=\"https:\/\/techrechard.com\/category\/how-tos\/mac\/macos-mojave\/\">macOS Mojave<\/a> or older).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By leveraging such apps, you can store any file on your iPhone, including those incompatible with iOS. This ensures secure storage for files of various formats like Word, PDF, ZIP, DMG, APK, MP3, MP4, MKV, AVI, Photoshop files, Sketch files, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before moving on to the next steps, it&#8217;s essential to install one of these apps. Each of the following apps enables file storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/vlc-media-player\/id650377962\">VLC<\/a>&nbsp;(it&#8217;s a video player app, but you can store any files in it)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/secure-file-manager\/id1529866632\">Secure FileManager<\/a>&nbsp;(allows you to set a password to start the application)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/files-go-media-player\/id1502835471\">Files Go<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/total-files\/id557285579\">Total<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/documents-media-file-manager\/id364901807\">Documents<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/app\/id1622764066\">iFiles<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_an_iPhone_or_iPad_as_a_USB_Stick_on_a_Computer\"><\/span>How to Use an iPhone or iPad as a USB Stick on a Computer:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 1: Link your iPhone or iPad to your Mac or PC using a cable connection.

In my case, it&#8217;s <strong>File Manager<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 2: Inside the app, locate your files. If not immediately visible, <strong>check for folders named iTunes, Files, File Sharing, Computer, or similar<\/strong>. (In my case, it&#8217;s <strong>iTunes Files<\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step 3: If the iPhone app where you saved these files can open them, you can work with the saved files on your iPhone or iPad. For instance, if you transfer a PDF file to the Documents app, it will be accessible.
