I appreciate that Rick provided a solution that is working well for him.
 *A Quick Guide for EaseUS MobiMover for Windows*
 <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DEuhdWXLlo>

Instead of doing what the Apple trolls did, which was that the Apple trolls
are desperate to shut down any conversation discussing Apple limitations.

Speaking of limitations, when I looked at Rick's solution, I agreed it
could work, but I see all the "free trial" words, so I didn't test it as
by then I was deeply involved in the HFS solution (which worked for me).
 <https://mobi.easeus.com/phone-transfer/mobimover-free.html>

What's *better* about the solution that Rick proposed is that it's
bidirectional, and it's designed to work en masse with file types.

 <https://www.freetrials.com/easeus-mobimover-free-trial>
 <https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/easeus-mobimover-review-r-m-kupaf>

But some of the articles said there are unexpected limitations too.
 *A Simple‌ ‌Guide‌ ‌to‌ ‌Transfer‌ ‌Photos‌ ‌Using‌ EaseUS‌ ‌MobiMover*
 <https://www.trendingus.com/transfer-photos-using-easeus-mobimover/>
 "You cannot transfer photos to your other devices like iPad, 
  work phone, etc. Similarly, You cannot transfer a lot of photos. 
  And this is a huge problem for many people."

The good news is that every one of the billions of iOS owners can now 
easily transfer *any* file (it doesn't have to be a photo) to Windows. 
 *Tutorial: How to copy a photo from Window to iOS without Apple restrictions*
 <https://www.novabbs.com/computers/article-flat.php?id=19950&group=misc.phone.mobile.iphone#19950>

There are no limitations (that I am aware of) in the HFS open-source tool!
 <https://sourceforge.net/projects/hfs/>
Although, it's apparently aimed for small sets of files, as compared to
MobiMover which appears to be aimed at much larger sets of files.

People can now finally copy their personal files the two feet from their PC
to their iOS device over their own private LAN without needing the Apple
clusterfuck insecure untested Apple Mobile Devices or the iTunes bloatware
abomination & specifically without needing to use the Internet (e.g., email
or the cloud) just to get a file two feet from the PC to the iOS device.
 <https://a.fsdn.com/con/app/proj/hfs/screenshots/97759.jpg>

1. On Windows, they doubleclick on hfs.exe & up pops a GUI.
2. On Windows, they slide their files over onto that hfs GUI.
3. On any iOS browser, they download the file using a local URL.

I don't think we'll find anything better than HFS for transferring small
sets of files (which was what I was trying to do) but if anyone has a
better solution, I'm willing to test it out as long as it's free & ad free.

Bear in mind that HFS isn't intended for the same tasks as MobiMover is.

This thread shows the stark difference between how adults act, in unision,
