Before you begin

If you're using macOS Catalina, use the Finder to share files between your computer and your iOS or iPadOS device.

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.

• 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.
