How to Transfer Photos From PC to iPhone Without iTunes.
I recently started using the iPhone and learned the hard way that Windows and iPhone don’t interact well with each other. I wanted to transfer pictures from my Windows computer to iPhone without using iTunes or even any cloud service. And after doing a little research, I came across a third party application that makes it easy to do this.
Documents is a popular iOS app that uses Wi-Fi to transfer data from computer to iPhone and vice versa. With this app, you can transfer files, images, videos and more to your iPhone. It even lets you transfer all your movies to your iPhone and watch them on your next trip right from the Documents app. Let’s see how it works.

You will also need an active internet connection to establish a connection the first time, after which all files will be transferred over Wi-Fi.
The Documents app has access to the Photos app and iCloud, which means you can access all your files from one app. To keep things organized, you can create separate folders in the app.
Transferring files is easy, just drag and drop files onto a webpage to transfer files to iPhone. The app transfers files pretty quickly. It is so simple.
After transferring the files, the photos remain in the Documents application. You can manually transfer files to Camera Roll. To do this, go to the folder where all the transferred images are stored, select all the images and click the “Move” button below. Now you can select the “Photos” directory and click the button below to move the files to the Camera Roll.
All selected files have been moved to Camera Roll and removed from the Documents application. Easy, right? Well, there is so much more you can do. Documents can also play videos right from the app, so you can easily copy all the movies to the app and watch them on your next trip.
