iTunes is great for syncing songs, movies, games, and apps. But, what if you want to sync or copy over other files? Or if you want to copy files from your PC to your iPhone or iPad?
iPad File Explorer lets you copy files from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your PC, or vice versa. It’s a free demo, or you can pay $15 to bypass the annoying ads. The cool factor here is that it allows you to use more of the PC hierarchy of folders to transfer files back and forth. You don’t have to deal with the elusive iPhone or iPad folder structure. So, this program makes more sense of the folder listing by using more of a Windows Explorer look.
You should get iPad File Explorer if you:
- get frustrated with iTunes convoluted rules for syncing; or
- you’d prefer to have a clear view of the folders and files you’d like to transfer back and forth with your PC; or
- you want to have a good file backup of your iPhone, iPad, iPod, or iTouch
The software setup is easy for the iPad File Explorer and their tech support help is stellar if you pay the $15 fee.
