First of all, remember to install the CCM forum application for iPhone, which allows you to get the answers to your questions directly on your iPhone and to be alerted by a push notification with each new answer.
Limitations
The iPhone, like all Apple mobile devices, offers a whole set of very useful functions (internet, games, GPS, telephony, etc.). In return, the Apple brand deprives it of a function that has been present so far on all iPods: storage in hard disk mode.
Very useful, this system made it possible to store all kinds of files or folders on the iDevice which then turned into a real USB key. Now, and this so that Apple keeps an eye on everything, all iDevices must imperatively and exclusively go through the Apple software "iTunes" to share data with the paired computer (which has previously had the permission to access the iPhone) via the USB cable. It is therefore impossible to transfer his vacation photos to the neighbor's computer or to recover the latest fashionable album that your best friend had promised you.

Faced with this absence, application developers quickly found solutions to circumvent the limitations of iTunes by passing, for the most part, through a private Wi-Fi wireless network or via an http address. Some of the best known include Filer, PhoneView, iStorage and DiskAid and many more. Other applications such as Usb & Wifi Flash drive or Usb Disk allow, once downloaded to the phone, to insert documents directly from iTunes in the “Apps” tab then in “File sharing” and vice versa.
Obviously, from the moment we go through a wifi connection or by installing software on the computer, we can no longer really speak of USB storage. And so far, no application can really turn the iPhone into a USB drive. Only resorting to jailbreak phone hacking can give you the option to partition your internal hard drive and configure it to be detected like traditional external hard drive or usb stick.
