Use iTunes to share files between your computer and your iOS or iPadOS device
You can copy files between your computer and apps on your iOS or iPadOS device using File Sharing.
Before you begin
Instead of File Sharing, consider using iCloud Drive, Handoff, or AirDrop to keep your documents up to date across all of your devices.
iCloud Drive lets you securely access all of your documents from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac, or PC. No matter which device you’re using, you’ll always have the most up to date documents when and where you need them.
With Handoff, you can start a document, email, or message on one device and pick up where you left off from another device. Handoff works with Apple apps such as Mail, Safari, Maps, Messages, Reminders, Calendar, Contacts, Pages, Numbers, and Keynote. Some third-party apps are also compatible.
AirDrop helps you share photos, videos, websites, locations, and more with other nearby Apple devices.
What you need for File Sharing
- The latest version of iTunes.
- The latest version of macOS or an up-to-date version of Windows 7 or later.
- An iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
- An iOS or iPadOS app that works with File Sharing.
See which of your iOS and iPadOS apps can share files with your computer
- Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
- Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer using the USB cable that came with your device.
- Click your device in iTunes. Get help if you can’t find it.
- In the left sidebar, click File Sharing.
- Select an app to see which files are available for sharing in that app on your device. If you don’t see a File Sharing section, your device has no file-sharing apps.
Copy files from your computer to your iOS or iPadOS app
- In iTunes, select the app from the list in the File Sharing section.
- Drag and drop files from a folder or window onto the Documents list to copy them to your device.
You can also click Add in the Documents list in iTunes, find the file or files you want to copy from your computer, and then click Add. iTunes copies these files to the app on your device. Choose only files that will work with the app. Check the app’s user guide to learn which kinds of files will work.
Copy files from an iOS or iPadOS app to your computer
- In iTunes, select the app from the list in the File Sharing section.
- Drag and drop files from the Documents list to a folder or window on your computer to copy them to your computer.
You can also select the file or files that you want to copy to your computer from the Documents list and click «Save» then find the folder on your computer to which you want to copy the files and click Save.
Open shared files
On your iOS device, you can open the files from your computer with the app that you chose for File Sharing.
You can’t access these files from other apps or locations on your device. You can see the list of files in the File Sharing section of iTunes when your device is connected to your computer.
Back up shared files
When iCloud (or iTunes) backs up your device, it backs up your shared files as well.
If you delete an app with shared files from your iOS device, you also delete those shared files from your device and your iCloud or iTunes backup. To avoid losing shared files, copy the files to your computer before deleting the app from your iOS device.
Delete a shared file from your iOS device
To delete a file you copied to an iOS or iPadOS app using File Sharing, follow these steps:
- Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
- Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer using the USB cable that came with your device.
- Select your device in iTunes. Get help if you can’t find it.
- Select the app from the list in the File Sharing section.
- Select the file that you want to delete in the Documents list, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
- When iTunes asks you to confirm, click Delete.
There might be other ways to delete files from an app. Read your app’s user guide to find out more.

Use the Files app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
View and manage your files from any iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. The Files app makes it simple to find what you’re looking for, no matter what device you’re currently using.
Find your files
The Files app includes files on the device you’re using, as well as those in other cloud services and apps, and iCloud Drive. You can also work with zip files.* To access your files, just open the Files app and choose the location of the file you’re looking for.
Save a copy of your file locally
You can find locally stored files in On My [device], under Locations. On your iPad, simply drag files into the On My iPad folder to store them directly on your device. If you want to save a file locally on your iPhone or iPod touch, follow these steps.
- Go to the file that you want to store on your device.
- Tap Select > the file name > Organize .
- Under On My [Device], choose a folder or tap New Folder to create a new one.
- Tap Copy.
You can also long press on a file, choose Move, and select which folder you want to copy it to.
On iOS 12 or earlier, tap the file and choose Move. Then, under On My [device], choose Numbers, Keynote, or Pages, and tap Copy.
Move iCloud Drive files
- Go to the file that you want to move.
- Tap Select, then choose the file.
- Tap Organize .
- Under On My [Device], choose a folder or tap New Folder to create a new one.
- Tap Move.
You can also long press on a file, choose Move, and select which folder you want to copy it to.
Look for files on your Mac or PC
- On your Mac, choose Go > iCloud Drive from the menu bar, or click iCloud Drive in the sidebar of a Finder window.
- On iCloud.com, go to the iCloud Drive app.
- On your PC with iCloud for Windows, open File Explorer, then click iCloud Drive.
* Password protected zip folders or directories are not supported in the Files app.
Organize your files
It’s easy to organize all of the files stored in iCloud Drive — including Pages, Numbers, and Keynote documents. When you make changes on one device, your edits are automatically updated on every device using iCloud Drive.
You can make your own folders. Or rename the files and folders you already have when you press firmly on them.
Create new folders
- Go to Locations.
- Tap iCloud Drive, On My [device], or the name of a third-party cloud service where you want to keep your new folder.
- Swipe down on the screen.
- Tap More .
- Select New Folder.
- Enter the name of your new folder. Then tap Done.
On iOS 12 or earlier, tap New Folder . If you don’t see New Folder or it’s gray, then the third-party cloud service doesn’t support new folders.
View your files by name, date, size, or the tags that you add. With colorful and custom labels, you can assign tags to your files any way that you like. That means you’ll quickly find just the project or document you need.
Add a tag
- Tap Select.
- Tap the file that you want to tag.
- Tap Share > Add Tags .
- Choose the tag that you want to add.
Rename a tag
- Go to Locations.
- Tap More > Edit.

- Enter the name of your new tag.
- Tap Done.
Delete files
Select the files that you don’t want anymore and tap Delete . If you delete files from the iCloud Drive folder on one device, they delete on your other devices too. iCloud Drive removes the files from every device that you’re signed in to with the same Apple ID.
When you delete a file from iCloud Drive or On My [device], it goes into your Recently Deleted folder. If you change your mind or accidentally delete a file, you have 30 days to get it back. Go to Locations > Recently Deleted. Select the file that you want to keep and tap Recover. After 30 days, your files are removed from Recently Deleted.
You can also sign into iCloud.com from your Mac or PC, then go to iCloud Drive and check Recently Deleted.
Share folders and files with your friends or colleagues
Want to share with a friend or colleague? You can share any folder or file stored in iCloud Drive directly from the Files app. In iCloud Drive, tap Select, choose the file or folder that you want to share, tap Share , and select Add People. You can share a folder or file through AirDrop, Messages, Mail, and more. Learn more about how folder sharing and file sharing work in iCloud Drive.
Or maybe you want to collaborate on a project in real time. The Files app lets you do that too with your Pages, Numbers, and Keynote documents. Select the file and tap Share or > Add People . You can invite them to collaborate through Messages, Mail, or copy and paste a link. Your participants are color-coded. And you can see when they’re online, actively working on your shared document.
Use third-party apps in Files
The Files app lets you add your third-party cloud services — like Box, Dropbox, OneDrive, Adobe Creative Cloud, Google Drive, and more — so that you can access all of your files on all of your devices. The files you keep in iCloud Drive automatically appear in the Files app, but you need to set up your other cloud services to access them in the Files app too.
Add third-party apps
- Download and set up the third-party cloud app.
- Open the Files app.
- Tap the Browse tab.
- Tap More > Edit.
- Turn on the third-party apps that you want to use in the Files app.
- Tap Done.
If you don’t see one of your third-party cloud services in the Files app, check with your cloud provider.
On iOS 12 or earlier, open the Files app then tap Locations > Edit to add third-party apps.
Move third-party cloud files
- Open the file that you want to move.
- Tap Share > Copy.
- Open the folder where you want to move your file.
- Firmly press the screen.
- Tap Paste.
Do more with Files on iPadOS
If you’re on iPadOS, you can access files on a USB flash drive, SD card, or hard drive through the Files app on iPadOS. Just connect the storage device, and then you can select it under Locations. You can also connect to unencrypted storage on a file server, if that storage is using the APFS, Mac OS Extended, MS-DOS (FAT), or ExFAT format. You also have the option to view your files in Column View, which is helpful if you have files nested in multiple folders. Column View lets you see previews of files and offers access to tools like markup and rotate without even opening a file.
Connect to a file server
- Open the Browse tab.
- Tap More .
- Select Connect to Server.
- Enter the SMB address.
- Tap Connect.
- The server name appears under Shared in the Browse menu.
Switch to Column View

- Select Column View in the upper right.
- Tap a folder to expand its contents.
- Tap a file to see a preview.

If you need help
- Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to the latest iOS, or iPadOS.
- Set up iCloud on all of your devices and turn on iCloud Drive.
- Make sure that you’re signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all of your devices.
- If you want to upload, download, or share files using cellular data, open Settings, select Cellular, scroll down to iCloud Drive and any third-party cloud services you use, and turn it on for each service.
If you don’t want to access your iCloud Drive files in the Files app, you can choose to download and add only third-party cloud services instead.
