Local MS apps and sharepoint files aren't either/or. You can use your local
apps with files synced dynamically on sharepoint. 

I always do this, as I agree with you the webapps are not fully functional.
I've set the default to open all files using my local apps. 

I even have my sharepoint files synced locally on my machine for working on
when I'm remote or have no network (i.e. on a plane).

I use EaseUS MobiMover, the free version.  It uses home network but 
doesn't need internet.

Keeps working.  There are probably some limits like number of files per 
day or size, but I have never run into it for the volume I use.

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.
 *How to Easily Transfer Photos using EaseUS MobiMover*
 <https://www.thetechblock.com/phone/how-to-easily-transfer-photos-using-easeus-mobimover/>
 <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.

Have you looked into gtkpod? It's intended to move files from
(and maybe to) ipods. It works on Linux, don't know about Windows.

It's able to explore the filesystem on an iPhone and I was able to
copy move files _to_ (didn't try _from_) Linux via USB.

As you have been told before, use the Files app to connect to the Windows
drive, assuming the drive in question is shared.  Copy and paste whatever you
want. In both directions.  All you need is the IP address of the Windows box.

Don't reply saying its impossible.  I do it all the time. That you claim this
trivial task can't be done is not surprising.

It's good to see that nospam is back, and since he's no longer in the
employ of Apple, he's not defending everything Apple to the death anymore.

The problem with the "Files" app is it acts like an SMB client, and that in
and of itself is an atrocious mechanism, especially in light of the fact
we've found on the Windows newsgroups a far better solution with LocalSend.

Thanks for that. I have an android phone, yeah I know, and 2 MacBook 
Air's. I was using WhatsApp send to self to do it. Now this is much easier.

That makes me feel fantastic that it worked for you too! I love that!

Thank you (and wasbit & Elijah and others) for acknowledging that Paul's
kind and rather astutely helpful suggestion of LocalSend is a "GodSend".

Now all of us, on any platform, can easily transfer any number of files or
folders between all our devices as long as they're on the same network.
 <https://localsend.org/download>

We should thank Paul for suggesting we test LocalSend - which solved the
problem billions around the world have - but don't (yet) know how to do it.

I said the same thing. Multiple times. But the trolls are not interested in
the easy, native, SECURE solution. They insist on using the most difficult,
obscure, 22 step method.  

Because they have to maintain the lie that "iOS does not do something as
trivial as copying a photo from Windows to iOS".

And notice that ALL of the "problems" with this method are on the Windows
side. SMB networking is standard.  That is how Windows talks to Windows, Linux
and Unix.  Of COURSE it can be done on iOS because iOS is Unix.

It does no matter you say you did it right on macos when more than a few
others said it doesn't work for them on Windows.

This is so easy, I can't believe people are STILL claiming "it can't be done".
  If it "does not work" then clearly some people are doing something wrong. 

You can copy any file you want, back and forth between iOS/iPadOS/MacOS and
Windows. I have done this a thousand times. 

Stop arguing and just do it. Yes, you have to give read/write permission on
the Windows shared folder/drive/whatever, if you want to copy/edit files TO
Windows. You have to do the same thing if you are sharing Windows to Windows.
 

That's how networking works. You control the level of access you want to
grant, on the server.  People connecting then have those access rights.  The
default is Read Only, which is fine if all you want to do is grab files FROM
Windows. 

That's called "security".  

Me, I just grant full access to the entire C drive.  And my data drives D, E
and F. Because no one else is doing this in my house but me.  You could just
share your Users folder in Windows.  That gives you access to all of YOUR
current data - music, pictures, documents, downloads etc.  But I also have
decades of stuff on the data drives that I like to have access to from
whatever device I am using at the moment. 

AGAIN, this is simple to do. You can copy any file - or entire folders - back
and forth.  Yes, it is all done on the iPhone/iPad.  That's how client/server
works. Network servers don't push things to you. You have to fetch them using
the client device. 

If you connect to MacOS from Windows, then everything is done on Windows.  
Client/server.

That would be OK if it worked. The transfer is one-way, iOS to Windows, 
unless there is a setting I'm missing. The iPhone drive appears to be 
read-only to Windows File Manager.
