For most Android users, this won't be a problem as they can always spare out more internal storage space to store files as large as 3GB, and use the smart phone as a USB hard drive. But for iPhone device holders, Apple has made things difficult. The lack of file-management tidbit has made stale the whole journey.
Interesting enough, there is actually a mind-blowing simple way to turn your iPhone into a portable storage device, free.
The tool provides one of the easiest and most dummy-proof ways to enable iPhone disk mode for free, and turn iPhone into a flash drive to transfer files between Windows, iPhone/iPad and Mac computers.
Simply connect iPhone as a storage device, you can access iPhone hard drive from DearMob to move all your Word documents, Excels files and PowerPoint documents in and out from your iPhone portable storage. Easy and intuitive.
