The iPhone happens to be one of the most powerful smartphones. You could pretty much perform any task on it without any issue. It is a user-friendly phone on the one hand but on the other hand, it does have some complicated features. For instance, upon downloading files, the iPhone would store them in locations, which could possibly take hours to locate. In such cases, you would surely prefer that it performs just like an ordinary computer.
Hence, if you’re trying to download Windows files to iPhone, you can follow the steps mentioned below:

Upon receiving files, you will have two options to save them. Your iPhone will store the files depending on the option you choose.
In order to do this,
- Open the file in the app you prefer to view it in.
- Locate the ‘Share’ button and tap it.
- You will get two options: ‘Save Image’ and ‘Save to files’.
If you select ‘Save Image’, the file will be stored in your photo library.
Whereas, if you choose ‘Save to Files’, you will be asked to provide a destination for storage. Select the destination and click ‘Ok’ to store.
