About

WireDrop

Read full description

Transfer files between iOS and macOS devices via USB cable. This can be useful in situations where other means of transferring files is not possible, such as, if you have WiFi or Bluetooth disabled. This app requires the installation of a Mac companion app, compatible with macOS 14.0 (Sonoma) and later. WireDrop will appear as a standard sharing option for Photos, Videos, and other file types. As long as you have the companion app active on your Mac, and USB cable connected, you will be able to transfer the files. Files are automatically saved to your Mac's Downloads folder.
