Transfer files from a computer browser
Manage FileBox spaces and authorized system folders from a computer on your local network.
File page More menu → Wi-Fi transfer
What you can do
Upload, download, manage and preview files in a computer browser over your local network. After signing in, switch between the main space, the currently unlocked private space and authorized folders in My iPhone or My iPad.
How to use it
- Connect your iPhone or iPad and computer to a local network where they can reach each other. Enable Wi-Fi transfer from the file page’s More menu.
- Open the address shown in the app in your computer’s browser and sign in with the verification code.
- Choose a space on the web page. In My iPhone or My iPad, open an authorized folder before uploading, downloading or managing files.
- Stop the service in the app when finished.
Before you start
Add or remove folder authorization in the app; the browser cannot authorize a new folder or unlock the private space. The device authorization home page lists folders only and does not accept uploads. Open a writable folder to upload files.
Browser copying and moving stay within the same space and authorized folder; they do not cross spaces or authorization roots. Removing authorization exits that folder and closes related previews. Transfers in device folders cannot be restored after a page refresh.
This is a local-network service running on your device, not cloud storage. Use the address and verification code shown in the app. Preview support also depends on the browser and file format.
