Load Your iPhone With Your Favorite Files

by Jon Chase on November 12, 2009 at 06:40 AM


Other than jailbreaking it or using e-mail, the iPhone offers no built-in way to accept non-media files, even ones that it's able to display (like PDFs and Office files, among others). There are a few iPhone apps, however, that help. AirSharing is a nifty app that lets you wirelessly mount your iPhone on your computer (Mac, PC, or Linux) like a network drive. From there, you simply drag and drop files from a shared Public folder -- either from the PC to your iPhone, or vice versa. You can then view the files on the go, or tote them to another computer to upload them without having to install software.
