iPhone: Drag pictures directly onto stick without PC

To drag your pictures from your iPhone onto a stick without using a PC, you need a suitable adapter.

• Select an adapter that is suitable for your device. It must have a cable that can be connected to your iPhone and have the socket for a USB stick on the other side.
• The solutions may differ depending on the device. In the meantime, there are also USB sticks that are equipped with a connection for smartphones. If you are unsure, it is best to seek advice in a specialist shop.
• If the adapter fits, you will see the USB stick on your iPhone in the Files app in a list next to iCloud and possibly other storage locations, such as the Photos app or Google Drive.
• Mark the images you want to transfer and copy them to the stick by opening it and creating a new folder for the images, for example.
