Ahoy! I want to share files between iphone & pc. I just discovered that W11 home edition doesn’t allow remote access. Microsoft wants $99USD to upgrade to pro. Does anyone know of alternative means? Thanks.

Forgive me, but isn’t sharing files between pc and an iPhone and remotely accessing a windows computer, two totally different things?
To share files between iPhone and pc you just plug in a usb cable and or use iTunes.
To remotely access a pc there are web services like gotomypc.com (among others) and software services like vnc (among others).
Thanks. I’ve done the iTunes thing & find it cumbersome. Remote-sharing apps require that the OS permit remote sharing. W11 home version doesn’t.
Microsoft Remote Desktop requires Winodws * pro, but Windows File Sharing doesn’t.
Ooooh, I didn’t know about that. Thanks!
If you want to transfer photos; just plugging the device via usb and enabling USB transfer should let you move them easily.
TeamViewer app should let you transfer files between both. Alternatively you can use Google Drive; or whatever cloud storage solution you have.
There also exists a seperate application from Apple if you want to syncronise music files.
Thanks. Done that. Trying to do it without the cable.
If that’s the case you can share a drive or folder on windows using smb. And then on iOS you can connect to that share with the files app. I use this all the time with my nas.
