So I've just switched to iPhone.
Is there a way to transfer files from my iPhone to my Mac without using iTunes/iCloud?
I don't want to diss the iPhone because I love it, but I have to say this aspect is really doing my head in. On Android it was unbelievably simple. (1) Connect phone to Mac, (2) Drag and drop files from mounted phone volume to whatever folder you want on your Mac.
Maybe it's because I'm still new to this, but iTunes strikes me as an astoundingly clunky way to move files. I get a bit paranoid and find myself making sure that each tickbox in each panel is either ticked or unticked, and wondering whether I'm going to inadvertently copy a load of photos to my phone or overwrite something I don't mean to or sync in the wrong direction or something. It all just feels unintuitive with too many potential pitfalls.
Is there an app that will let me do this more simply - either mounting it like a drive, or just something with a better file transfer interface than iTunes? Thanks.
(iOS 10.2 and OS X Yosemite)
