Have you recorded a video with your iPhone and you want to watch it on a big computer screen? We know many users find it a bit difficult to transfer their videos. You can’t self-email the video and open it on your computer. Because most email service providers limit email attachments beyond 25 MB in size. We’ve got some alternative ways for you to transfer videos easily and securely. Let’s begin.

Delete duplicate videos on your iPhone, remove disorganization and make the most of your iPhone. Use Clone Files Checker on Windows & Mac.

Transfer Videos Using File Explorer

As a Windows 10 user, you already use File Explorer to manage and organize your files. A little known fact about File Explorer is that you can import videos from your iPhone using File Explorer. Why spend a few hundred dollars buying a video transfer software when you could transfer them freely?

Connect your iPhone to your Windows 10 computer using a USB cable. Make sure that your iPhone is unlocked. If your iPhone is locked, your computer may not recognize it.
Wait for some time till Windows recognizes your new device.
Click on the File Explorer icon on your Taskbar. Alternatively, you can use the shortcut keys Windows Key + E.
Open up This PC from the sidebar on the left.
Do you see an icon named Apple iPhone or something representing your phone’s name? Double-click that icon.
Go to the following directory: This PC\Apple iPhone\Internal Storage\DCIM
Click the View tab on the Ribbon. If you don’t see it, just press the Alt key, followed by V.
Select Group by, and then choose By type.
Windows will group your files by different types. Look for your videos.
Select all videos in one go by clicking the Videos group header. You can also click the first video in a row, press and hold the Shift key of your keyboard and then select the last video. If you rather wish to select random videos, simply use the Ctrl + Click key combinations.
After selecting all your videos, click on the Home tab, followed by Copy to.
Choose one of the directories from Desktop, Downloads or Documents. You can also specify a custom directory by selecting the “Choose location” option.
That’s it, it’s that simple to transfer videos from an iPhone to Windows PC.

Transfer Videos Over-the-Internet

Another simplest way to transfer your videos is using a wireless Internet connection. Your computer must have iTunes installed in order to use this feature.

Download, install and launch iTunes on your Windows 10 computer.
Make sure that both the iPhone and Windows 10 computer are connected to the same Wi-Fi Internet connection.
Unlock your iPhone and connect it to your Windows 10 computer using a USB cable.
Click on the Device icon in the upper left corner of your iTunes window.
Head on to the Summary tab.
Make sure that the “Sync with this over Wifi” option is checked-in.
Click on Apply to save your settings and exit.
Your computer will import content from your iPhone.

You can stop the syncing anytime using the Eject icon on your screen. Or you can simply disable the “Sync with this over Wifi” feature altogether.

Transfer Videos Using AutoPlay

AutoPlay is a great feature introduced back in Windows 95 and continued in every Windows version. Using AutoPlay, you can play media automatically when you plug in a removable drive. We’ll set up the AutoPlay feature to automatically import your videos every time you connect your iPhone. Here’s how:

Connect your iPhone to Windows PC using a USB cable.
Click on the Start button, select Settings.
Click on the Devices icon, followed by AutoPlay.
Does your computer show up the already connected iPhone? Select the option “Import photos and videos (OneDrive)”.
Temporarily unplug your iPhone, wait for a moment and then reconnect it again.

Windows will automatically search for the media content (both videos and images) and transfer it to your Microsoft OneDrive account.

Transfer Videos Using Photos App

Windows users should find the Photos app pre-installed on their devices. You can locate the Photos app from the Start Menu. If you couldn’t find it installed, download it from the Microsoft Store. Photos is a UWP-architectured app. You can use this free app to import photos and videos from not just an iPhone but also a USB stick, external HDD and digital camera. The procedure is fairly simple.

Unlock your iPhone and connect it to your PC using a USB cable.
Click on Start.
Type Photos in the Search and open it from the results.
Click the Import icon on the top right corner.
Select From a USB device.
Windows will look for a connected USB device- a phone, USB stick or an external HDD. Wait for some time.
Select the video files you like to import and start the process.

Transfer Videos Using iCloud

As an Apple user, you probably already have an iCloud account. Use your iCloud account to transfer videos to your Windows 10 PC. Remember, the free iCloud storage limit is only 5 GB. If your videos are larger than the free quota, you have an option to buy more iCloud storage or use an alternative platform. Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive are major rivals that offer 15 GB and 5 GB of storage space for free.

Step 1: Upload videos from your iPhone

Log-in to your iCloud account on your iPhone using your Apple account credentials.
Select the iCloud Drive icon.
If this is the first time you’re signing in, you should find your cloud account is empty.
Click on the New Folder icon, and specify a name: Videos
Double-click to open your newly created Videos folder.
Click on the Upload icon on the toolbar, and select Upload files.
Select all the videos you like to upload, and click on Add.

Step 2: Download videos on Windows 10 PC

Now, fire up your default browser in Windows 10 and sign into your Apple iCloud account.
Select the iCloud Drive icon.
Double-click the Videos folder.
Select your video files, and click on the Download icon.
